About this property

Woods & Water to Explore just 20 mins to Liberty Univ - 10 to Downtown Lynchburg

Eaton's Edge offers a smoke free downstairs apartment with exterior entrance, private drive, full kitchen, private laundry room and a home theater. With 20 acres of wooded seclusion, you can step out your door and relax next to the Cascades of Harris Creek, sit and watch deer and turkey in the yard, spot owls, bats and eagles overhead or build a campfire in the pit and listen to the sounds of rushing water and rambling freight trains in the distance. All this and only three miles to Walmart, Food Lion, Redbox and terrific pizza. Our road is one narrow mile of bumps, curves and hills!

20 minutes to Liberty University and all the local colleges in Lynchburg. 10 minutes to the historic Lynchburg River District with its cobblestone streets, antique shops, festivals, concerts, walking trails, restaurants and nightlife. Academy Center for the Arts is just over the bridge.

Bring some paddling gear and head to Monacan Park for a paddle on the James River or rent some gear from James River Adventures at River's Edge Park. Drive out Elon Road to the famous Woodruffs' Pie Shop where you can enjoy a meal, pie, coffee and good conversation with the locals.

Whether you want to launch a family exploration of Liberty University, Lynchburg and all that Amherst County has to offer or you need a quiet, private, comfortable place to stay during a weeklong intensive course, Eaton's Edge is ready for you.

***Studio Upgrade Optional: When requested, we may be able to offer you an additional studio apartment with a bedroom which sleeps 2 more guests and another large full bath. This studio apartment is completely distinct from the rest of the house. It has its own private entrance, and is adjacent to the main apartment for togetherness and supervision. This is an ideal option for three generations traveling together. The Studio Upgrade requires an additional fee which is provided upon request through the VRBO system as a special offer.

Our stay was amazing! Such a beautiful place in an unexpected location of VA. We stayed here as a place to prep and get ready for our wedding and our host was very accommodating to our needs. They helped us with storage of our wedding food and parking for our bridal party when getting ready. The downstairs apartment was cozy and more spacious than the photos make it seem. Their back yard and the creek was such a beautiful setting for our bridal photos and make it feel really special. Thank you again for such a comfortable stay.

Great location for LUCOM Graduation

The location is great being close to LU and downtown Lynchburg. The setting is so serene and the hosts were great with communication. The kitchen had every appliance we needed and we enjoyed grilling out the first evening. Would highly recommend and even though we probably won’t be back to Lynchburg, we would definitely stay there again!!

Our host was very helpful connecting with us. The property was out in the country with a stream. It made for a quiet and enjoyable stay. I could see how in the warmer weather it would be fun to play in the stream. Very comfortable stay

The accommodations worked great for our family!

My husband and I and two adult daughters met there for birthday celebrations and it was nice to have the living space to hang out when we were home. The surroundings are beautiful! Loved the water with chairs set up on the bank to enjoy. Our visit was quick, but will definitely come back and would love to stay longer to really make use of all it has to offer. We felt very welcome, to be sharing their home.

Perfect elopement stay

My husband and I and our 1 year old twins enjoyed our stay here. It was so homey and clean. The host had plenty of extra towels and blankets which was a plus. And I loved that they had extra fans in the closet for the white noise! The only things I would change, is a smart tv and a softer bed! We would definitely stay here again! The creek is so beautiful I wish we could have hung out down there more during our stay! Thank you again for sharing your home!

Beautiful country setting!

The property was so spacious, clean and had literally everything you could ever need in a vacation rental. Plenty of comfy seating in the common areas and a great projection TV system for movie viewing. It unfortunately rained buckets the whole time we were staying on site, so we didn’t get to utilize all the wonderful outdoor amenities like the fire pit, tubing on the stream (literally!) in the back yard and exploring the woods. And it’s close to lots of the attractions we came to the area for including the BlueRidge Parkway and the Natural Bridge Caverns. I highly recommend this lovely home away from home.

Absolutely wonderful

This property is georious! The pictures don’t do it justice. They truly have thought of everything in this piece of heaven. Much larger then we thought and it was all the little touches that made all the difference. The creek/river in the back is a great place to relax or explore. Jennifer, the host was great! I can’t say enough about this place other then come stay and see for yourself. You won’t want to leave. We will definitely return for another visit.

Peaceful Retreat, Everything You Need

The size is perfect, so is everything else! We fit our family of seven very comfortably. I loved not having to pack a lot so that my kids had things to play outside. There were many comforts of home in case we forgot. 😊 The kids walked in and all smiled right away, so it was immediately a good sign. It rained a little, so we went to Sea Quest at the mall and also did a little shopping. There was more of the property l, outside games, and Lynchburg we left unexplored, so we hope to return. 💌💌 It was nice to give my kids a piece of my childhood, exploring the creek and being outside was great!

Loved the location

Myself, along with my son and daughter-in-law, were in VA for a family wedding. The initial drive to the property off the main road seemed a never-ending series of hills, twists and turns, especially for folks from the city. But, in fact, the trip in/out was only about five minutes. The property itself was great. A two bedroom, one bath on the lower level of a lovely private home. The house is on a hill so we could drive right to our entrance in back. The unit is all on one floor with no steps (important to me). There's just a short walk down to the creek. The area is wooded and incredibly quiet. Hosts provide a number of outdoor activities. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would definitely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Eaton

Host profile image
After graduating seven of our eight children, we decided to make a career and climate change. From the wonderful chilly north, we packed up and headed to the natural beauty of central Virginia and Amherst County. We love the mountain views and all the opportunities that living near a major university has to offer.

Why they chose this property

The Cascades of Harris Creek make this home a true retreat. Just a few short miles from all the necessities of groceries, banking and take out, but remote and full of wild life. We love it here.

What makes this property unique

The fall foliage is breathtaking. The crazy winding road is perfect for long walks with no traffic, just the occasional train rumbling by in the distance.
