Fayetteville vacation rentals

Enjoy a quiet getaway with a Fayetteville cabin rental

Fayetteville cabins in West Virginia put you in the center of a quiet, small town with world-class thrills. Located next to the New River Gorge National River, you can spend your time shopping at local farmer's markets, watching live music events, mountain biking in the wilderness, or white-water rafting, all within reach of Fayetteville cabins.

Preserving the past _ exploring Fayetteville's historic city center

Walk the streets of the Fayetteville Historic District, and stop off in cozy cafes and boutique shops. Landmark architectural achievements in the district include the Fayette County Courthouse, E. B. Hawkins House, and the Altamont Hotel. The town caters to everyone and anyone staying in your Fayetteville vacation rental, offering a wide array of attractions. Enjoy a play at the Historic Fayette Theatre, drop into a half-pipe at a skate park, pick up fresh fare at a farmers' market, and perfect your 9-iron swing at a nearby golf course.

Bridging the gap between adventure and relaxation

Towering cliffs that line the New River Gorge not only serve as a dramatic backdrop to the region but rock climbers view the sheer walls as a challenge to conquer. Anxious to get your feet wet? Make your way down to the New River and try your hand at whitewater rafting, fishing, or kayaking. Riverfront hiking and biking trails are also available. Held each fall, the Bridge Day Festival celebrates the bridge with an afternoon showcasing base jumpers, rappelers, and skydivers, plus a 5K race, a chili cook-off, and arts and crafts vendors.

Sunshine, snow flurries, and serene spring days

What sort of weather should you expect during your Fayetteville vacation rental summer getaway? Plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures, with highs in the low 80s. Steady rain falls in the region year-round but make sure you bring an umbrella between April and July, the wettest period by far. Tepid spring and fall temperatures average in the mid-60s but it's a different story in the winter when snowfall totals are almost double the national average. Surprisingly, even with all the falling snow, daytime highs rarely drop below a brisk but manageable 45 degrees.

Over the gorge and through the woods to grandmother's houseÉ

Pull yourself away from the refined grace and tranquility of downtown Fayetteville and explore the natural surrounding landscape. Climb to the top of the rocky outcrops and sheer cliffs lining the gorge and soak up the majestic panoramic views. Marvel at the peaceful New River as it cuts through jagged canyons, which in turn give way to lush, green forests. Want to lose yourself in nature even more? Retreat to the woods for a leisurely hike, where you may come face-to-face with such critters as deer, racoons, and the occasional fox, while hawks fly overhead during the migratory fall season.
