828-479-8464
828-479-1251
828-479-6772
828-479-8450

I will contact each of these later this afternoon and post my results.

BTW, the cost at the main resort is $74/night at the main hotel and $85/night for a one bedroom cabin. Not bad. I am on the waiting list for either room.
Alright, I made some calls. Results as follows.

828-479-8464: Number is no longer in Service.
828-479-1251: Left message. So far no call back.
828-479-6772: Microtel. Located approx 30 minutes from Fontana, NC.
Has rooms available from 5/15/13 thru 5/18/13. Rates are $67/night for regular room and $76/night for suite.
828-479-8450: The Appalachian Inn. Located approx 30 minutes from Fontana. Only a couple of rooms available. Rates are $130/night for regular room and $150/night for a suite.

Not really interested in staying 30 minutes plus away from the festivities. Will wait and see if room/cabin opens up at the resort. If not, there is always next year. In addition, there appears to be other events to consider. Looking forward to Chicago meet in early April to start off with.
