Fontana Village Resort

Fontana Village Resort & Marina sits deep in the Nantahala National Forest, tucked between Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the shoreline of Fontana Lake in the mountains of western North Carolina. The setting pairs mountain scenery and fresh air with a full-service resort, giving weddings, meetings, and group gatherings a backdrop of rustic elegance and turnkey ease. The resort offers more than 17,000 square feet of event space across seven indoor and outdoor venues, ranging from the 9,000-square-foot Event Hall for gatherings of up to 500 guests to intimate suites and open-air fire pits and sundecks. Customizable catering menus and on-site professional planning support each celebration, while cabins, a lodge, and campground lodging keep guests on property. Between events, the surrounding forest invites lake paddling, hiking, and mountain biking, along with on-site dining and local craft beverages, making the resort well suited to weddings, corporate retreats, and family reunions alike.
