Lloyd's On The River Country Inn By OYO

Fontana Village Resort

10/10 Excellent

"For Tail of the Dragon visitors this is the place to stay. Fuel at entrance, food, gift store, parking for truck and trailer. Pool closes early in the season. TV system they have is terrible- never got it working once- in days! NO cell service Zip! Must use resort Wi-Fi only. Staff is Fantastic!!!"
