Explore the Smokies from this Historic Village!
You haven’t truly seen the Great Smoky Mountains until you’ve stood atop the tallest dam in the Eastern United States. Nestled deep in the lush wilderness of North Carolina lies Fontana Village—a historic gem that’s part time-capsule, part outdoor playground, and entirely unforgettable!
Imagine waking up in a cozy lakeside cabin, the mist rolling off the emerald waters of Fontana Lake while the birds provide your morning soundtrack. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or a chill-seeker, this village is your ultimate basecamp for adventure.
Why You’ll Love It:
- The Tallest Dam: Stand 480 feet above the Little Tennessee River for dizzying, beautiful views.
- Legendary Drives: Seconds away from the “Tail of the Dragon” and its 318 curves.
- Lakeside Living: Pristine waters perfect for kayaking, fishing, or sunset pontoon cruises.
Ready to trade the city lights for starry nights? The history of this village is etched into every stone, originally built to house the workers who created the massive dam during WWII. Today, it stands as a testament to American ingenuity and a sanctuary for those who hear the mountains calling.
