We loved getting out in the country and enjoyed spending time on the river. This cabin is in a great location to visit Lynchburg and other small TN towns, and we were easily able to find places to hike to a waterfall within an hour's drive. Fayetteville itself does not have an amazing downtown but there were plenty of places to explore nearby.
A few things to note:
- As pictured, the cabin is just one room, and there is no place to sit down other than the bed. Eating was a little bit of a challenge for that reason but we made it work. The kitchenette appliances/supplies are limited so definitely check it out before going to the store (Walmart is close by!). I would recommend bringing bottled water with you.
- The bathroom door is a sliding barn door, so there is a gap on either side - not a sealed door. Just in case anyone would be uncomfortable with that.
- It was fun having kayaks and canoes available although several were broken or had holes so if there are others staying on the property at the same time who would also like to use them, there would not be enough for everyone (unless they all got fixed). There was one other couple who used the kayaks the same day we did and between the two groups we used them all.
- When sitting on the front porch of two of the cabins, you are facing the owners' home/porch. We weren't aware that would be the case and we typically don't rent places where the owners' home is visible, just for privacy's sake. It didn't turn out to be a major issue but I think we would have liked a heads up on that. There was another couple staying at the cabin next door to us but they were quiet and it did not affect our stay at all.
- We loved being out on the river, and we were able to scrounge up one or two fishing poles from the porch of one of the other cabins that had not been rented that weekend. We sadly forgot to bring our own fishing gear! But if you are a fisherman, this river is great, going either direction from the house. We took a picnic one day and stayed out almost the whole day.
