Fontana Village Resort ReviewOn January 1, 1942, 24 days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) got permission to build a dam 480 feet high to produce critically needed hydroelectric energy. This led to the birth of a village to support the workers and their families, including a school, a 50-bed hospital, churches, and space to play. This village has become the largest and most complete resort in the Great Smoky Mountains. Choose a room at the inn, a cabin with a kitchenette, or a campsite. (There are 20 campsites, 10 with hookups; the cost is $25 a night without hookup and $35 with hookup.) Activities abound for every taste: biking (30 trails), horseback riding, cookouts, square dancing, crafts classes, mountain-bike races, and boating. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
