FAYETTEVILLE, WEST VIRGINIA

THE GATEWAY TO THE GORGE

Fayetteville sits on the rim of New River Gorge — a 70,000-acre national park carved by one of the oldest rivers in North America. The town itself is a small, walkable community with independent restaurants, outfitters, and the particular energy of a place that has welcomed adventurers for generations.

Cannon House Retreat is a five-minute walk from the town center and a five-minute drive from the Canyon Rim Visitor Center. From the porch, the hills roll away in every direction — the same view that soldiers on both sides of the Civil War would have known.
