A quiet suburban community outside of Lynchburg
At the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the town of Timberlake offers a quiet, suburban environment on the verge of a rural community. The more than 13,000 residents that call Timberlake home can take in mountain views while being just 10 miles from the bigger city of Lynchburg, where ChapStick was invented. In addition to providing a small-town lifestyle with locally adored cafes and boutiques, this family-friendly Campbell County town has a desirable public school district. “Phil Vassar is from here, as well as Logan Thomas," says Lindsey Sharman, a Timberlake resident and teacher at Campbell County’s Brookville High School. "They both went to Brookville,” referring to the country singer and NFL tight end.
The James River and Downtown Lynchburg are just 15 minutes from Timberlake.

Local eateries along Timberlake Road
Timberlake Road is lined with local restaurants, bars, grocers and other storefronts. “Koffee Kup is a great small and inexpensive breakfast spot. We go every Saturday morning,” Sharman says. “And Mister Goodies is a great ice cream place. The line is always super long, but it goes quickly.” Sharman also mentions The Timberlake Tavern, an event venue located on Timber Lake, where a community has been built. “The area around the lake was once a big destination spot for locals, and now it’s a tight-knit neighborhood where people stay for life,” she says. Nearby in Forest, the Forest Farmers Market is open every Saturday in season, as well as select Saturdays during the winter months. “They have an awesome playground for kids to play.”
