Fontana Village Resort - thru-hiker friendly!


Can't say enough about the peace and tranquility I experience on my off days living in the Village.  This is my 10th year patroling a 22 mile section of the Appalachian Trail, from the trailhead at Fontana Dam, NC, (the southern most entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park) up to Derrick Knob Shelter.  Fontana Village owners have supplied 4 different cabins over the 10 years and each one has been exceptional for rest & relaxation.  Thanks to all the folks who manage, work and maintain this beautiful mountain hideaway. If you are looking for a peaceful place to bring your family, check out Fontana Village Resort.
