I think it's Fayetteville and I don't think it's really all that close.

Knoxville has probably the only argument, but up close and personal it can look a little dreary sometimes. Think a nicer version of a beat up WV mining town. It definitely is near the top for towns if the conversation is "how aesthetically pleasing are the nearby areas".

I don't know why Athens is being mentioned. Athens is a great town, but it's not a particularly attractive part of the state and Athens doesn't show much of what's available anyway.

Knoxville, I guess? This isn't a travel agency forum. How's the coaching search going?

Me either... I mean I love it. And the general surrounding area within 30 minutes most direction does offer some nice scenery (rivers, rocky outcroppings, etc...) but it's by no means elite in that arena. Have never been to Fayetteville, but per photos and discussion with friends who have, would have to be the leader in the clubhouse.
