The Area

Do something, or don't — both count as a good day here

Fairfield Glade is a master-planned community built around three lakes and miles of wooded trail. Whether you pack an itinerary or pack nothing at all, the Plateau has a way of filling the hours.

Kayak on calm lake water at golden hour

Kayaking & Paddleboarding

Rent a kayak or bring your own. The lakes are calm, the coves are hidden, and you'll likely have the whole shoreline to yourself.

Forest trail through tall pines on the Cumberland Plateau

Hiking & Trail Walking

Over 100 miles of trails wind through hardwood and pine forests. Easy loops for morning coffee walks, steeper routes for afternoon sweat.

Fishing rod casting over still lake water at dawn

Fishing

Bass, crappie, and catfish wait in the lakes. Dock access is available, and early mornings are when the Plateau feels most alive.

Golf course with rolling green fairways and pine trees

Golf

Championship courses sit among the hills. Whether you're chasing a low score or just a long walk in fresh air, the fairways welcome you.

Autumn foliage on the Cumberland Plateau hillsides

Fall Foliage

October turns the Plateau into a painting. Drive the ridge roads, stop at overlooks, and watch the maples catch fire.

Winter Getaways

Cold mornings, warm fires, and lake views dusted in frost. The cabins are especially magical when the world goes quiet and white.

"We came for a weekend and left with a different sense of time. That's rare."

About Us

A place built for people who want to slow down

Fairfield Glade sits on the Cumberland Plateau in east-central Tennessee — a 17,000-acre community shaped around three lakes and dozens of miles of protected woodland. It was designed this way on purpose: not as a resort to pass through, but as a place to inhabit.

Fairfield Resorts manages the hospitality side of the community, offering lakeside rooms, cabins, and vacation homes to guests who want something quieter than a hotel chain and more considered than an Airbnb. Our address is 109 Fairfield Boulevard in Crossville, and we've been welcoming visitors to the Plateau for years.

We don't market to people looking for nightlife or theme parks. We market to the ones who want a porch, a lake, and a reason to put the car keys on the table and leave them there.
