The bed mattress was impossibly soft to sleep on. Like trying to sleep on a bunch of marshmallows. The TV didn't work at all. The toilet flapper was leaking, causing the toilet to cycle all night long.

Do not stay in the Garden Villas. They are beyond outdated, smell, in poor condition, WiFi is spotty, tv barely worked, AC was beyond loud. Donna at check in was super nice and helpful! Only stay in the main lodge, that’s where the pictures are from.

Outdated and expensive
Old outdated facility that once had it's hay day but not today. We were there for a family get together and after first night was moved from garden room because the whole rooms floor was wet and centipedes were crawling around. They moved us to the updated lodge and said there would be no upcharge since we did not request the move and had already prepaid for our stay. They lied and there was an upcharge that we were charged. No response from Fontana. Some of our family stayed in the "cottages" and one family stayed in the same cottage 7 years ago and it still had the same old furniture. Breakfast buffet was $65 for three of us. The marina was nice and the boat rental was great. The lake is beautiful and was our highlight.
