Now here is the really amazing thing: Fayetteville, our little town, has been on top 10 lists of all kinds— climbing towns, rafting towns, coolest towns, best small towns.
Here are just a few:
- Best Adventure Town- National Geographic
- Top 10 Mountain Towns- North American Hunting Club
- Top 10 Paddling Town- Paddler Magazine
- Best River Town- Blue Ridge Outdoors
- Best wild dining- Food Network’s ‘Best of’
- Coolest Small Town- Budget + Travel Magazine
- Best American Pizza Joints- Huffington Post
- Top Things to Throw Yourself Off Of – Lonely Planet
- Top Student Destination- CheapFlights.com
- Top All-Time Bridges- Road & Bridges Magazine
- Best Places in the South- Southern Living
Reading this list makes me want to hit the road and see them all.
When you add these all up, it makes a very powerful statement about where we call home. If these weirdly diverse groups and categories can all agree (and they do) that’s a lot of fingers pointing in our direction from a bunch of very different angles.
And we are willing to share this wonderful place with you. Okay, when are you going to see firsthand why we are on so many top 10 lists?
Reminds me of a song. “The only way to the top is looking out for number 1, and thats me. I am looking out for number one.” Name that tune and who recorded it for a bunch of ossum free stuff with your next stay.
BTO, Lookin’ Out for #1
Keep doing what you do, Geoff. Love you guys and your little piece of Fayette County Heaven!
Thanks Cheryl! and yes BTO is correct.
Looking out for number one Travis Tritt
I have no problem giving you credit for this one, even though I was thinking of BTO.
Congrats.

Hello Chealie Yes write your answer here. I have some good answers so far, good luck! See you next week.
Bachman-Turner Overdrive was the name of the band and the song mentioned was Looking’ Out for Number One.
Winner Winner! Actually everyone is getting this one correct, way to go.

Bachman Turner Overdrive of course!
Yes! I love that song. Way to go on the correct answer.
Looking out for #1
I stumbled across this place in 2013. My work interfered with our normal beach vacation so we opted for a closer, shorter vacation and ended up in Fayetteville. My family fell in love with this area. The bridge, 2 world class whitewater rivers, zip lines, rock climbing, breath taking scenery, restaurants, Summersville Lake. What a cool place to visit. I am sure living there is pretty special indeed. Truly a hidden gem.
Great to hear you enjoyed our little slice of Almost Heaven and hope you can come back soon.
