Do yourself a favor and GO TO HAZEL's! The food is excellent and the service is outstanding. The bartender makes a mean Cadillac Margarita, so let her make you one and tell her Jerilynn and Mary (two motorcycle chicks) sent you!

We stayed in rooms at the hotel. The lobby is unique and so pretty with beautiful views off the back deck. We were impressed with the room cleanliness and attractive decor. The pool is a huge space and the ice cream store a perfect treat after a round of putt putt.

So nice that we extended our stay. Pool and lazy river are a lot of fun, pickleball, mini golf and disc golf all available on site. Good restaurant food and easy access to the mountains roads. Great for spirited drivers and hikers. Even have car wash stations available. Definitely making a lot of return trips to this lodge.

Beautiful setting. Beautiful mountains. Nice porch and balcony, both public and private. Clean and well-maintained rooms. Good breakfast at the coffee shop, although Hazels was closed except for weekends. They were very accommodating at the front desk, giving me a room that was functional for me and my disability. We didn’t use it, but it looked like everyone was having fun at the pool, seemed family-friendly.

The property was large with various accommodations from small cabins, family size cabins and a couple of mult-room motel type buildings. We stayed in one of the motel buildings. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. There are many hiking, fishing, rafting and siteseeing options near by plus an on site swimming pool. The property originally the construction center for Fontana Dam in the early 1940s. I have enjoyed rafting on the Nantahala, riding the Tail of the Dragon on motorcycle and by car. Dining options are limited and not all facilities are handicapped accessible with stairs to some. We will go back.
