Historic 1883 Carriage House Retreat near downtown

Stay inside a piece of Lynchburg history.

Step into this lovingly restored 1883 carriage house—a one-of-a-kind two-story retreat where authentic Lynchburg character meets modern comfort. Originally a carriage house & plumber's workshop, this 400-square-foot hideaway has been thoughtfully restored with local antique materials and details that tell the story of the people who lived on this little plot of land for the past ~140 years.

Have a soak in the clawfoot tub & wash your cares away under the oversized rain shower, and unwind over a cup of mint tea by the spacious grassy yard. The tiny kitchenette features stainless appliances, an original cast iron sink and countertop made from the original owner's plumbing workbench. Historic star bricks, restored stained-glass windows, hand-crafted queen & daybeds made from furniture-grade cherry add one-of-a-kind character (& simple comfort) you won't find in a typical vacation rental.

The Carriage House's historic roots are embraced by her new modern life throughout, with fast WiFi, a small washer/dryer, built-in USB and USB-C outlets, charging cables, and a locally made MagSafe Apple charger crafted from recycled skateboards integrated to make your stay interested & easy. (Note, there is intentionally no TV to create a simple, reflective in which to (mostly) unplug, relax & recharge.

The location is hard to beat - central to everything Lynchburg. You're minutes from Main St, the Blackwater Creek Trail, restaurants, universities, hospitals, and some of the area's best outdoor destinations. Off-street parking makes coming and going easy, whether you're just passing through, here for a weekend getaway or university visit, a hospital appointment, or an outdoor Central Virginia adventure.
