Top Fontana Dam Hotel Reviews

Clarion Pointe Cherokee

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself was good for the price per night. The staff was excellent continental breakfast was okay, in the rooms were very comfortable."

Highland Manor Inn

8/10 Good

"This place was clean and friendly people we would stay again. The bed is hard but everything else was great!"

Tremont Lodge & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Always fabulous. Out go to place in Townsend. Splurge for the hot tub room!!"

Fontana Village Resort

8/10 Good

"Overall, a nice stay. We were disappointed that Hazel’s restaurant was closed for renovations. Food options were limited, and food was just so-so. The staff at check in and at the general store were helpful, but it would have been nice to have a staff person in the upper lodge to welcome guests and answer questions. Coffee in the upper lodge would have been great as well. The room was very clean and looked to be recently renovated."

Nantahala Village

8/10 Good

"Wasn't told restaurant and pool was closed. They closed lobby at 5. Clearly cabin upkeep isn't priority, railings are rotting. The person that checked us in didn't know much about the area. At 300 a night with no amenities was very sad"
