Came here for Zdayz with some friends to tinker with our cars and check out what others have done and from the pics on the website it looked pretty mundane, however when we got here I was quite surprised how big it is and it is nicer than expected. Lots of space to move around and a few family things... More

We've stayed at this property for five years while attending a car event and every year the staff appears to be totally overwhelmed and unprepared. Checking in/checking out is slow. Service at the Wildwood Grill is chaotic. And the facility is showing its age. The carpet in our room was dirty and the tub had mold. On the plus side:... More

It's been almost 5 years since my last review! We're still timeshare owners and have been at least once a year since 2007 for Miatas at the Gap. It's still my favorite place in the world and I've seen a lot of changes over the past few years. The big fire pits now have chairs around them, the porch at... More

I live less than an hour from Fontana Village and have heard from many friends what a lovely spot it was to dine, stay or play for the day. And I can promise, I'll be back this summer. A friend and I met other friends there, had lunch, played games during the day, had drinks and dinner with another friend... More

We stayed here the weekend of April 12th - 14th for our annual spring MR2 Spyder Rally. As before the staff was very friendly and helpful. We were put into a handicap accessible room which was very large and roomy. There were four of us so the space was appreciated. The bedroom was clean and the beds and pillows were... More

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us again! The massages are definitely a nice way to relax after an exciting day. The roads drive through some of the most beautiful scenery around, but it can be a little trickier driving them at night. There aren't street lights guiding the roads, so it's nice to be prepared.

I stayed at the lodge and friends stayed in the cabins. The Lodge is clean and offers wi-fi in the common areas. For the room price, I was surprised that there was no coffee maker, fridge, or even an iron in the room. I hear that the cabana rooms had fridges. The bathroom is teeny tiny - just enough room...

We go to Fontana Village every year for a driving event with the VW R32 group and I can't say enough about the graciousness of the Resort in hosting and facilitating different groups of people concurrently. While we were there, there were 3 different car groups and tons of hikers and families as well. The facilities never seemed overcrowded or... More

Drove up from blairsville ga on Sunday , Sun was out, top went down on mini! Great drive to dam through Robinsville, Views were beautifull and the roads well Maintained , the dam itself is really cool, dated, the restrooms could use a good cleaning , the History is what the current Government should take a lesson from!! Energy independence.

Thank you for visiting with us! There is such a rich history here, and we love being able to share that with our guests! Our culture is definitely a "quaint" one, but that's what makes us so appealing to so many! It's a great learning experience for the whole family. We hope to see you back real soon! More
