Due to the hurricane Helene one of my clients wedding was displaced and moved from Asheville to a beautiful venue in the area. The cottage was perfect for us, I love all the old homes and history. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I loved the small lamps on each side of the bed, retro but modern twist. A perfect working weekend away…

Perfect weekend spot

We were in Lynchburg for a parent weekend and so happy we found this gem. The carriage house was perfect for us. No detail overlooked and the lovely hosts made us feel welcome. Comfortable accommodations and amenities. They even provided a list of recommendations for local restaurants, etc and we discovered some spots we hadn’t found yet. We will be booking our next stay soon. Thanks for the yummy muffins!

Warm, welcoming and charming Carriage House

We were in town to help move our son to Lynchburg and loved our stay at the Carriage House. It was the perfect place to relax after a long drive and busy week leading up to our trip. Every detail was so thoughtful and the hosts Southern hospitality made us (and our dog Harvey) feel so welcomed.

Perfect for a solo "retreat"

The Carriage House is lovely in every aspect. Its presentation was such that it inspired care for its use. I came for the privacy and solitude; I had creative work to do that required it. Other guests have mentioned the numerous thoughtful amenities, including the blueberry muffins. I appreciated most the screened in patio, for which the late October weather was perfect. Most definitely, the Carriage House is a 5-star place to enjoy.

Best VRBO Stay EVER

I quite literally have never walked in to a vacation home and said “wow, this place is so clean and spotless” until staying at this cottage. The hosts are so lovely, their communication was excellent, and the whole home was even more beautiful in person. I ended up having to leave a day earlier because my travel plans changed and I was SO sad. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Very nice, beautiful small cottage.

Our stay was very nice. We enjoyed the privacy. The carriage house is beautifully decorated and has everything you would ever need. The steps are steep and narrow so keep that in mind. It is not a place for anyone with mobility issues.

A classic carriage house weekend!!!!

My wife and I were delighted to spend 4 nights at Holly and Tom’s property.The carriage house has been beautifully restored and furnished. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch. Holly’s blueberry muffins were delicious and our coffee habit was met with lots of options. We had a wonderful time exploring Lynchburg. We have stayed many times in a VRBO and this is one of the best ever! Michael and Sandra

Repeat Visitor

This was my wife’s and I second visit to the carriage house. This stay was equally as good as the first! The property was clean, the bed comfortable, and neighborhood quiet. Tom and Holly were super responsive and hospitable. You can tell they take pride in this property. The property is also perfectly located close to the Blue Ridge parkway. My wife and I were able to head into the mountains for a day of hiking and be back in time for dinner. Next time we are in Central VA, we will be staying here again!

Absolutely charming!

I spent three nights at the Carriage House with my 90-lb dog, Freya. Upon arrival, we found personalized welcome cards, fresh muffins for me and a basket of treats and brand-new toys (!) for Freya. Everything, including the coffee, tea, snacks, toiletries provided, was of the highest quality. The grounds had enough space for short walks and exercise, and Riverside Park was just a couple of minutes’ drive down the road for nice longer walks. There is plenty of parking space, the screened-in porch is lovely, and the interior decor is charming. The bedroom and bathroom are both upstairs. Altogether an exquisite place to stay. I highly recommend the Carriage House.
