Just contacted Fontana Lodge, confirmed my reservation for this year and booked for 2013. Whoot........... Jim
How far is that from all the action in Fontana? My friend and I have two camp spots over in CHEOAH POINT CAMPGROUND. I think that is about 5 miles from Fontana.
Hey guys and gals, The GA MINIACs have an extra bed at the house we have rented. Cost is $165 for lodging checking in Thursday and checking out Sunday morning plus help with food/drinks as needed. You can see the place at www.bigskyii.com. It is roughly 1/2 hour from Fontana, but the drive there is on Hwy 28, which is a twisty run, too. PM me for more info.
Fontana says it's about a half a mile away. I agree... Going towards the Dragon leaving Fontana village.... It's down the hill right before the bridge. Road to Dam. It's not far at all although I do love that it's set back away from the road so no extra car or bike noise.
Wow, that's awesome! So close but away from the bustle. Is there enough room for two other tent campers? If so, what would our portion of the cost be? Thanks!
FYI- anyone needing a room keep checking with the lodge..... Due to a few of our older animals being pretty sick right now, my husband has decided not to come down this year so he can stay home with them and make sure they are getting the proper care. I canceled our room reservation yesterday. I am still going, but will be staying with friends in their cabin instead.
Your husband is a good guy. Tell him that is what normally happens to me in situations like this. Jim
Yeah... Somebody else gave it up.. I figured there would be someone (outta 1000) that still needed somewhere to stay.
Kind of surprised on ours, also... A bit of a drive, but it is one of the fun roads and the stay is cheap! ANYONE? Bueller?
