Great to have you aboard! Actually, as I'm typing this, I happen to be at the Microtel in Robbinsville. I came up here for the weekend to get away and do some scouting.
My report on the Microtel is that it's definitely not a resort and pretty basic but it does have wireless internet and a TV and telephone in every room, which Tapoco does not have. The best part about this place is that it's is very clean. I have no fear here of catching anything or being attacked by any critters in the middle of the night.
I have emailed Fontana Village in the past and they did not reply. I might add them to my list of places to visit this weekend as a possible base for next year. Dirk and Marsha at Tapoco have been wonderful to us but this might be the year that we really overflow the place. I'd really like to have it somewhere that is able to accommodate all of us.
As far as cheaper places, I've heard that Tuskeegee Motel is somewhat outdated but very clean is anyone is interested in staying somewhere cheaper. I don't know anything about any other places.
It would be great to have you join us this year.
