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.

Went to visit my daughter for the weekend and this house was perfect! The hosts were easy to contact and very responsive. The house itself was beautiful and the washer and dryer came in handy. Great location that was walking distance to restaurants and shops. Will definitely consider this house again when visiting in the future.

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!

We absolutely loved our stay at the MLK House! It felt like living inside a historic home and art museum, with every room filled with character and thoughtful details. The beds were so comfortable, the porch swing was perfect for relaxing, and the location made it easy to explore downtown and visit Liberty University. Knowing our stay also supported the local community made it even more meaningful. Highly recommend!

We needed to take a very quick and last minute trip to Lynchburg, and this house was everything we needed and more! The space is magnificent - very clean and beautiful! Communication was above and beyond - messages were responded to very quickly and kindly. The beds were very comfortable. We wish we could have stayed longer! A Mexican restaurant and donut shop are right across the street. We’ll be back to visit this beautiful house!

Absolutely beautiful property. Close to the downtown river front venues and activities. The location seemed to be close to the main thoroughfares around Lynchburg. I do t think we were more than 15 min drive from anywhere. We had a fabulous stay.

Summer in Virginia

My husband, daughter and I had a lovely weeklong stay as we explored west central Virginia. The house had everything we needed (plus a wonderful donut shop across the street). We walked to downtown Lynchburg several times, and enjoyed daytrips to Roanoke, Smith Mountain Lake, Lexington and Staunton.

Beautiful House, Great Location

This is an absolutely beautiful house, the way it was renovated kept so much of the character of the home, while also making you feel like you are staying in a fancy hotel. The location is perfect, we walked to all of the restaurants and downtown shops because they are only blocks away. Easy parking. And the host was always very quick in communication with any questions we had. We plan to stay here again the next time we visit Lynchburg.

Great Location

The location is excellent and very walkable. The house was very well appointed and equipped. Only real complaint was the street noise and maybe because we are used to the constant road and traffic noise all night. If you are a sound sleeper, no problem.

Charm in the heart of Lynchburg

Absolutely great property that I would highly recommend. The house has a ton of charm, style and decor that makes you feel like a home away from home. The house has plenty of space to spread out, enjoy relaxing, dining, and hanging together. The house is the most stocked house I've ever stayed in for a kitchen and appliances, with a great selection and supply of linens, towels, and bathroom supplies. Highly recommend the place, they've done an excellent job with the house.

"Dream" Home Away From Home

Our stay at the "Dream" house in downtown Lynchburg was a true home away from home. The amount of thought and detail that was put into the decor, and the upscale selection of bed, bath, and kitchen essentials made our stay even more comfortable. My one year old son loved walking the spacious downstairs going in and out of each of the rooms. We loved how much care was put into preserving the history of the structure while also providing updated and tasteful finishes. We will most definitely stay here again!

Stunning house but no bedroom locks

We loved this house! The bedrooms were incredible and the house was cozy. The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is none of the doors inside have locks and one of the bedroom doors didn’t latch at all. Outside of that it was an incredible house.

Beautiful house (may not be ideal for light sleepers)

The house was absolutely beautiful and decorations were spot on. The only thing I had an issue with was out of the control of the owner, it was the noise of the traffic from the bedrooms. This house is directly on the corner of a busy roadway with brick/cobblestone section that was very loud when cars drove over it. They did provide a sound machine to help drown out the traffic noise. The house was ideal for our stay and withing walking distance to several places. Thank you for having us!

About the host

Hosted by Amy Corbett

Host profile image
We’ve been married for over 25 years and have two amazing kids through the gift of adoption. Our family’s story has had lots of twists and turns over the years, including the one where we stepped down from 17 years of campus ministry, leaving salaries and financial stability behind. We didn’t really have our “what’s next” plan, but decided to focus on our life-long side hobby of houses until we could figure it out.

We started renting out our River House Apt in 2018, and as we began welcoming guests from all over the world, we were hooked. It became clear that creating these welcoming spaces where anyone could belong was not just a mission, but a calling upon our family.

Our business, All Belong Co, now hosts 30+ properties and we're just as passionate as ever to give our guests a 5 star stay!

Why they chose this property

There's a donut shop across the street- what more could you want? But seriously, we love the walkability and accessibility to downtown shops and restaurants.
