Praised for the ultra-friendly staff who can make everyone feel as if they belong, it’s a true sock-feet-on-the-sofa kind of cozy. Rooms and suites offer the perfect refuge for anyone whose idea of a fine afternoon is mountain biking or hiking followed by a hot stone massage. The surrounding 45 acres reveal an outdoor pool, outdoor relaxation spaces, and, of course, spectacular views of Fontana Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains.
