Upon arrival, I was very excited about this resort, it gave me Dirty Dancing vibes!! The general store had a great selection of souvenirs as well. At check in, the lady behind the desk was not very friendly or personable. We were simply checked in, shown where to go on a map that was all. No real greetings, conversation, smile or anything. We at onsite at the tavern, the staff and food were great. By the time we finished dinner, it was dark out and trying to find our room was a bit challenging. The signs on the property versus what was on the map were different. The parking for our room was conveniently located right at our door, but again, there was no lighting and it was VERY dark. When we walked into the room, our initial reaction was pleasant. However, as we were settling in, we began to realize there were quite a few issues. The room only had a few lamps, it appears that the whole theme there is to keep it as dark as possible (insert face palm emoji here). The dresser was pulled out away from the wall, the tv was not plugged in, the tv would not work once plugged in, front desk had no interest in correcting or even say they were sorry for the inconvenience...I was simply told, "i will let them know" and she hung up.There was zero water pressure in the shower and the sink drained very SLOWLY, oh and you guessed it, the lighting over the vanity area was HORRIBLE! We also informed the front desk of the sink draining slowly...she said, "ok" and that was all. No plugs either!

The stay was last minute booking and everything was nice. Room was good size for a couple and very clean. The only thing I would say needs to be better is signs/directions as you come into the property or get the property before dark since it is in mountains. It was hard to tell where room was once we found check in area. Overall it was great. Would stay again.

Nice, remote, maybe a bit musty

The location was great. Tucked away in a very remote valley. We stayed the night before riding "the tail of the dragon". Everyone was freindly and helpful. Two complaints, 1) The cantina closed at 8:00. Kinda early for us. 2) The room was super musty, and maybe a bit dated. Other than that, it was a pretty cool place.

Beautiful hotel!

This is a yearly family trip but first time staying here. It is a great location and beautiful resort. Very family and pet friendly with opportunities for daily activities. We are renting a boat today at the marina across the street. We will definitely book again for Next year. Our room is second floor at the lodge.

Bad room at Fontana resort

The room was old and dark. Tv didn’t work no usb plugs to change phone. No kleenex. Mattress was sagging in the middle. It was not worth the money. It was in the Same class as Motel 6 even worse. I think they should pay me some money back because it was so bad. I will never stay there again
