A charming, two-story refuge in the heart of downtown, the space blends 21st century connectedness & convenience with an experiencing of 140 yrs of authentic Lynchburg history. Formerly an early 1900’s plumber's workshop, the 400 sq ft c1883 structure is lovingly restored with antique building materials to honor the stories & things of the people who called this space home for over a century.

8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
While it was almost like taking a trip through time and the host were nothing short of outstanding, managing the stairs to second floor was a bit sketchy. The neighborhood was a bit on the noisy side and the neighbors smoking marijuana made sitting outside nonnegotiable. It’s conveniently located near down town and a short drive to Liberty University.

Very cool and eclectic place to stay near downtown.

Staying at the Carriage House in Lynchburg was a wonderful experience! It is a very comfortable and functional space while still being historical and unique. Comfort/functional and historical don't always mesh well. In this situation it does beautifully. The location is in a nice neighborhood that has easy access to all areas in Lynchburg. Everything was spotless and the attention to detail is over the top anticipating guests needs. In addition, Brad took his personal time to go above and beyond making sure we knew where all the special places are to visit in the area. We will be staying again at the Carriage House in the future. It's at the top of our list! Our best Vrbo stay ever!!!!!!

Nice escape from the hustle and bustle of life and technology, host was accommodating and prompt, instructions were clear. Bed was very comfortable, nice fresh linens and towels, shower was amazing with hot water and great pressure. We enjoyed making fresh coffee with the French press and looking at all the antique items, brought back so many memories of my grandparents home!
