Like I mentioned before, Fontana Village is THE place to stay. Its right in the middle of everything, which is not saying much. They have cabins, both rustic, and newer, plus a motel. I stayed there and they were very nice. Old, but great cabin with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, etc. It was $41 per night. At this time, the motel might be full, but you could call. last year, 2 buddies stayed in their tents, low's in the 20's, but they were fine with that.
