Nantahala Village is pretty isolated so there are not a lot of options right around it. I would first call the Village to ensure everything is sold out. I registered late last year and although the Village was sold out, they have some cabins about 15 miles away that were very nice so we rented one of those. Check in on these first as they are uber wife friendly (great views, jacuzzi, etc.). The only drawback to these is the driveway in is pretty steep and not RX7 friendly. They claim otherwise but those of us that stayed there last year can attest to the fact they are not.
The next best place is probably something in Bryson City and I would go to expedia.com and do a search. To me Cherokee is too far but you could check there also.
If you have never been to the area and want the best, it is the Grove Park Inn in Asheville NC. The wife will love it but it is one hour away which means for some long drives. It is also expensive but she'll love you for it:
