Fayetteville is a lively college town anchored by the University of Arkansas — a walkable downtown with live music, restaurants, craft breweries, a strong arts scene and big-time college sports that keep things interesting week to week. Its location on the edge of the Ozarks gives quick access to hiking, mountain biking, the Razorback Greenway and nearby lakes, so weeks off stay active and varied.
Within about 30 miles, Bentonville (home to Crystal Bridges and a booming food/arts scene) and nearby Rogers add extra dining, shopping and cultural options.
