Tapoco Lodge Resort is your Smoky Mountain Country vacation solution... whether you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing escape or exciting outdoor adventure.

Beautifully situated among the lush mountains of the Nantahala National Forest and the cascading whitewater rafting of the Cheoah River, Tapoco Lodge Resort is the enticing vacation destination you've been seeking. Located 15 miles north of Robbinsville, North Carolina and approximately 60 miles southeast of Knoxville Tennessee.

We are located just a short hike from the Slickrock Creek trailhead, a great area for native trout fishing and hiking. Experienced hikers will want to see the wonder of Wildcat Falls. A short drive will take you to the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest with giant trees towering skyward.

Many visitors also explore the Fontana Dam area where the Appalachian Trail passes through Graham County NC as it winds its way from Georgia to Maine. And the newly constructed Cherohala Skyway offers views comparable to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Just three miles north on US 129 is the beginning of the famous motorcycle and sportscar road known as the Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap with 318 curves in 11 miles.

Many visitors are inspired by the natural shoreline of nearby Lake Santeetlah and the many opportunities available to sportmen. Fontana Lake is even larger and borders the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Tapoco Lodge Resort offers a variety of accommodation and amenities included cabin rooms, lodge rooms, swimming pool, tennis courts, trails, recreation room, group facilities, and dinning room. The Lodge is one of only a few places in the Robbinsville NC area to purchase alcoholic beverages and offers package sales of domestic, imported, microbrew beers, wines, and premium malt beverages. You can also enjoy a glass of wine or beer with your meal in the dining room.

There is no better place to spend your next vacation or group gathering than Graham County North Carolina and no better accommodations than the Tapoco Lodge Resort.
