WHAT'S AROUND

The house is in a national historic district, and the neighborhood is full of beautiful, architecturally diverse historic homes. Downtown shops and restaurants are a 10 minute walk. At the end of the street is an entrance to the Blackwater Creek trail system, which includes miles of scenic, paved walking and biking trails. Point of Honor, the home of Patrick Henry's physician, Dr. George Cabell, is only a stone's throw away.

Another cool tidbit is that we also offer a red train caboose rental ("James Station") on the adjacent lot. You'll see it out the back of the apartment and we hope you'll come back for a unique stay!

POTENTIAL FOR NOISE: The home is located in historic Daniel's Hill and boasts some of the most beautiful views of the James River downtown has to offer. Also situated on the river is a historic iron pipe factory and a railroad. It is fascinating to watch trains go by on occasion and watch the workings of a 24-hour factory below the property, but please note there is a risk for noise. Our family lives upstairs in the main house (heck, our teenage children can be a risk for noise on occasion haha), but we are not bothered by it. We realize it may not be for everyone and some nights just work out to be noisier than others. We have insulated the home with a noise-reducing insulation and we provide a white noise sound machine and ear plugs in the bedroom should guests feel they need it.

Exterior Camera: We have one security camera on the house pointed at our driveway for your safety. It records per motion-activation & operates 24/7. We can access it via our app. There are NO cameras inside the home.

Directions for check in/check out were very simple and helpful. The space was super cozy and felt very private, despite being so close to downtown Lynchburg. I appreciated the warning about potential noise from the pipe factory, but we could hardly hear anything from inside and weren't bothered by it one bit! This was the perfect place to stay and get ready for a friend's wedding, and I would stay here again if I ever find myself back in Lynchburg!

Our host was great. Responded quickly to any messages. The apartment was nicely decorated, and a good fit for a couples getaway.

We enjoyed a short weekend in the 1 bedroom apartment. Amy and Marc made us feel very welcome with useful handbook of local recommendations and arrangements for entry/ exit were very efficient. Close to downtown area with multiple eating options
