Other Details to Note

To save our listing, click the heart in the top right corner. The home is located in historic Daniel's Hill and has beautiful views of the James River. 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 (a rare glimpse at American manufacturing!), but please note there is a risk for noise. Our family lives in the neighborhood and is not bothered by it, but we realize it may not be for everyone and some nights work out to be worse than others. We provide a white noise sound machine in the bedrooms should guests feel they need it.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

-Beautiful, historic neighborhood within walking distance of downtown Lynchburg's shops, restaurants, and events. -Entrance to the Blackwater Creek Trail system (miles of paved and unpaved trails) at end of the street! In our neighborhood there's: -Brick-paved roads flanked with historic lamp posts -a bustling community center with fenced-in park and playground -sidewalks in both directions -architecturally impressive homes built from the 1820's to the early 1900's. The people in our neighborhood are just as beautiful and diverse as the houses themselves, ranging from residents who have lived in the neighborhood for 50+ years and others who are new to Lynchburg. On the block alone, there are families with young children, single professionals, and elderly folks. It is a "front porch" neighborhood where everyone knows everyone and they watch out for one another. We love this neighborhood and are proud to call it our family's home.

Perfect house for a weekend gateway with my fellow moms. House had everything we needed and super clean. Plenty of space for us twelve. Amy was great answering all my questions. Would love to stay again!
