WHY MAKE A VRBO IN HONOR OF MLK JR?

There's so many reasons but ultimately, without his achievements, our own family wouldn’t exist. So we've collaborated with black artists and creatives in order to bring this historic home (and passion project) to our community.

Sleep somewhere worth talking about.

First time staying at a Vrbo, and this set a high bar. The house was beautiful and thoughtfully appointed, and the location was perfect, with most of downtown Lynchburg within walking distance. Definitely looking forward to staying here again next time we're in the area.

My family and I stayed here for graduation weekend at Liberty (about a 12 minute drive). The home was spacious and clean. All the rooms are upstairs and very spacious. Everything was fully stocked and even had some snacks for us. I mentioned at booking that I was graduating and when we checked in there was a nice handwritten note congratulating me on my accomplishment and a 'Class of 2026' banner hanging in the kitchen, which I thought was a very nice and thoughtful touch. We had a lovely stay and would stay again.

Wow!! Such a beautiful home. The thought, details, history and beauty of this property are unmatched. We loved all the paintings, history, pictures and decor! This home had everything we needed for our stay and everyone couldn’t get over how comfy the beds were and how soft the sheets were. Don’t miss out on the upstairs balcony and swing! Perfect for relaxing with a book or having morning coffee! This stay was just perfection!
