Fern Creek Container Space
This set up was perfect for my son's and their friend, almost like a dream fort. We slept well on the beds, enjoyed the fire pit, goats, and all the little extras. It was right in the mix of the best trails and attractions of the New River Gorge and I'd highly recommend.

Quirky. Bring water, fuel, & stove
Bring your own water, stove, fuel, and fire wood. Our experience is you can't be sure they will be available.
The owner is growing native plants in a nice meadow. The covered deck is great, we brought hammocks to sleep in. Acceptably clean, quirky decor, and detritus of ongoing projects. An extension chord to an adjacent home powered a flat griddle and cafe lights, not sure if these items will remain or not.
A gallon of potable water was available at check in. The owner filled a 5 gallon jug from a house around dinner time. We were not permitted to refill it at the house and he directed us to a store for water. We purchased our own water for day 2. He brought another 5 gallons for day 3. Asking for water and propane upset the owner, prompting the comment "People from out of town expect luxuries. It's Hip Camp, what did you expect." Our response was "We expected potable water and a way to boil water, because of the hip camp advertisement." He suggested the camp fire or griddle for cooking. Propane was never available. The black propane grill pictured is not onsite; it belonged to a friend of the owners. There was the griddle and a car camping stove plumbed for a large propane tank but no propane, can't say if it works or not.
A flush toilet is in a container. One should be aware that flushing requires walking about 50 ft to a plastic catch basin to gather water in 5 gallon buckets provided. Fine for us, but not the prissy.

Glamping ✨
We had a great stay! The fire pit was perfect, having a toilet was a luxury, and we slept so well on the bunk in the lower container. We wanted a place to camp on our way through the state, and since we were unsure of the weather when we booked, having the option to sleep inside or out was important to us. It was nice not needing to worry about a tent, camp kitchen kit, and drinking water. Thanks for a lovely night on our road trip!

Slick Spot
Definitely a neat space offering a hybrid between primitive and accommodation-filled camping. Location is very ideal for hiking around the NRG National Park. Beautiful, scenic area.

Loved this site, it was cool to have the container to actually sleep in and not set the tent up, made it a really relaxing open-air experience. Having some electrical hookups to put up a fan in the heat was clutch. Tennyson is a great host, very responsive. If you’re looking to explore Fayetteville and the river, this is a great home base.

What a unique space! We loved the off-grid feel while being close to Fayetteville (about a five minute drive into town). The neighbors were very kind and we saw loads of deer. Endless Wall trailhead is walking distance from the property and it's a must-see!
Just to be clear: the sleeping areas are covered by the container's roof, but the other end is open, so they are pretty exposed. There were a bunch of thunderstorms and we stayed dry, but it was incredibly humid after. The cicada/peepers were also pretty loud at night, so if you're a light sleeper maybe reconsider (or bring earplugs!). We really enjoyed being out in nature but I could totally see how it might not be everyone's cup of tea.
