Hike Inn

Thanks so much to Nancy at the Hike Inn for the incredible stay! She was so kind and helpful, with a great sense of humor. I really appreciated the shuttle to town for grocery resupply and dinner at restaurants in Robbinsville. She also kept me informed of my resupply package and even had my Smoky Mountains permit printed before my arrival. Thanks to Tom and Fred for the pickup/drop off at the trailheads with refreshments as well. Rest assured that you will be well taken care of at the Hike Inn!

The Hike Inn is conveniently located on Fontana Road/Route 28 in a beautiful part of NC. The owners offer shuttle service to Appalachian Trail hikes which are closeby. The rooms are very well-equipped with a mini fridge, WiFi, microwave, coffee machine, tv with satellite cable, and bathroom (toilet and shower, of course). The town of Robbinsville is a 15-minute drive with restaurants (Nutz and Buttz BBQ is very good) and Fontana Dam is approximately 15 minutes away. Nancy, one of the owners, is extraordinarily helpful and even took the time to show me the fertilizer she uses on her rhododendrons. I believe many folks who stay here are hikers coming off the Appalachian Trail. My dad and I drove over in the spring for a long weekend to get a good full-day hike in and take in some very nice m

Nancy and Tom are the nicest folks. The rooms are super clean and have everything you need. One of the best places to stay hiking or not.

Nancy is incredible!! Called to book a room for a section hike of the A T. and Nancy booked our shuttle and a room for before and after the hike and picked us up at the Visitors Center when we got back! She also allowed us to leave my truck at the Inn. The room was clean and comfortable! I would definitely recommend The Hike Inn to anybody looking for lodging around Fontana Dam!!

I used the Hike Inn's Appalachian Trail shuttle services and have nothing but good things to say about Nancy. She is the sweetest lady, and she provided me with all information up front when I was scheduling my shuttle. I really enjoyed talking to her during the shuttle ride. She let me park at the inn, which was included in the total price, as I had heard that parking at Fontana Dam overnight may not be the safest. I ended up running behind schedule during the last 4 or so miles of my hike for her to pick me up, but she still waited for me and even had a cold Powerade for me when I finished my hike!
