Neighborhood Description: Picture a street off the TV show "Mad Men" and you'll get a pretty good idea of the neighborhood. This home is tucked away in a beloved neighborhood off Rivermont Ave, but this section of the neighborhood is so unique because there are a few blocks of these midcentury homes that were originally built for the Sears executives back in the day. It's safe, quiet, and you'll likely see people out walking to and from the nearby walking trails.
Getting Around: Walk (or drive) to the nature trails, coffee shop, or restaurants nearby.

Our host Kyle was amazing. Easy communication throughout the visit. Home needs a bit of updating and our concerns were communicated to Kyle. He stated that needed repairs would take place after we left.
We were in Lynchburg for our son’s wedding. The location of the house was great. It was close to downtown and everything we needed. The house itself was awesome. It was a great sanctuary to come back to. Great place to relax and enjoy the pool. House was roomy and had everything we needed.
The property was exactly as advertised. Located in a quiet neighborhood and walking distance to restaurants. Lots of outside space with seating. The host was very responsive to any questions we had.
The property looked just as described. It was clean and quiet. They were gracious enough to allow other family over to swim and eat and enjoy our gathering. A wonderful surprise to have a plethora of beach towels. We enjoyed our time here! Thank you!
The house was the perfect size and a great location to everything we wanted to see and do. We spent a lot of time before and after the museums in the pool. It was so relaxing to start and end our day swimming. I would definitely do it again.

This property on a quiet street was a great getaway. It's a great neighborhood to stroll in - with beautiful homes with a variety of interesting architecture. Very comfortable inside. Pool was lovely and peaceful. We definitely want to come back.
The house was great for our group. We were visiting our daughter an LU student for her birthday, it was the perfect place for us as it gave us plenty of hang out space!

We enjoyed hosting you, Kim! Glad you were able to visit your daughter for her birthday and we hope to host you again!
We loved every minute of our stay.
House and pool were just as pictured/described.
Lots to do in surrounding area. Parks/playgrounds nearby, lots of coffee shops, and local restaurants. My daughters are already wanting to go back again next year!
We had 3 adults and one child and plenty of space. Can easily do three couples or a larger family get together.

We loved hosting you, Heather! Looking forward to your next stay.
This house was a great location for our extended family to stay for our son's wedding. Open floorplan accommodates large groups easily. Would be even better in summer when you can take advantage of the outside amenities.

Thanks, Marie! We enjoyed hosting you and hope to do so again soon!
We stayed here to attend a graduation for our daughter at Randolph College and it was 3 minutes away. Also, it was a nice mini vacation and a wonderful house to celebrate her achievement. The home is open and airy, with lovely decor. There is plenty of room to spread out inside and out. And it is comfortable and relaxing.

My family and I had a great week. The pool was awesome. There was an issue with a bathroom but it was addressed and taken care of right away. I would recommend staying at this house. There is a lot to do in Lynchburg.

Thanks, Willa! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and took advantage of the pool and the city of Lynchburg. Hope to host you again soon!
Great house! Perfect for our family for Spring Break. We were in town to watch our son play baseball at LU! Close to campus and downtown Lynchburg. Lots to do for ages 9-76! Walking distance to many places, great coffee shops! Would love to come back later in the year, so we could use the pool!! Would recommend.

This home is exactly as advertised! Amazing outdoor entertainment areas plus plenty of room inside ensured that all of my family (ranging in ages from 20 - 80) had a fun place to hang out. I wish I would’ve found this house sooner!

We’re thrilled to hear that your family enjoyed your stay and had plenty to entertain you both inside and out! We’d be happy to host you again anytime!
Great place to stay!! - there is some maintenance you will need to do with the pool, as there are large trees which drop leaves and small debris in the pool. They supply Awesome pool towels! One less thing to pack! Owner was very quick to answer my question and extremely pleasant. We would stay again! Highly recommend.
This house was perfect for a quick getaway for myself and my husband. We biked the nearby trails, cooled off in the pool, cooked a wonderful dinner and enjoyed a movie. This one story house was the perfect ending to my summer recovering from knee replacement. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a fantastic weekend. Will definitely book again!
