DESCRIPTION
Silos have fed people for years, and now they can house them, too!
First we bought a caboose off FB marketplace and created James Station (see our other listing!). And now we're those crazy people who want you to "Stay Different" in a silo house. Silo on the James is part of the Stay Different collection by All Belong Co.
This can be a romantic getaway for couples, a fun friends meet up, or a family-friendly adventure with kids. It’s sure to be a unique experience you won't forget.

CLIMATE CONTROL: Yes, the silo is insulated! A remote-controlled heating and air unit + a huge, 8 foot fan do the trick to control the temperature. For extra coziness, you can turn on the fireplace with or without heat.
PARKING: Up to 3 cars may park at the Silo (gravel driveway parking)
TV Services: Smart TV (guests use personal login credentials)
All towels & linens are provided for your stay.
POTENTIAL FOR NOISE: You will hear the occasional sounds of trains going by, distant construction forklifts beeping, etc. The factory works through the night. Some nights can be noisier than others, and unfortunately this is out of our control. (Sunday nights and holidays tend to be the quietest as often the factory is off work!)
Our family lives nearby and is not usually bothered by it, but we realize it could be an issue, particularly if you're a light sleeper. The silo has sound-proofing insulation, and we provide a white noise machine and portable fan for your added comfort.
*You must be 25 years or older to reserve Silo on the James.
ANOTHER UNIQUE STAY STEPS AWAY!: We also offer a train caboose, a 1 bedroom apartment AND a separate 5 bedroom home steps from the silo that you may rent in coordination with your stay. Look up our listings "Train Caboose," "River View Downtown Historic Apartment," or "Lighthearted Family Friendly Home near Downtown LYH".

NEIGHBORHOOD: Silo on the James sits atop Daniel's Hill: a beautiful, historic neighborhood within walking distance of downtown Lynchburg's shops, restaurants, and events. At the end of the street is an entrance to the Blackwater Creek Trail system, which provides guests miles of paved (and unpaved) walking, hiking, & bike trails.
In our neighborhood, you'll find some brick-paved roads flanked with historic lamp posts, a bustling community center with a fenced-in park and playground, sidewalks in both directions, and architecturally impressive homes built from the 1820's to the early 1900's.
The people in our neighborhood are just as beautiful and diverse as the houses themselves, ranging from residents who have lived in the neighborhood for 50+ years and others who are new to Lynchburg. On a nearby block alone, there are families with young children, single professionals, and elderly folks. It is a "front porch" neighborhood where everyone knows everyone and they watch out for one another. We love this neighborhood and are proud to call it our family's home.
Getting Around:
Downtown Lynchburg & all it offers (great dining, local shopping, children's museum, concerts, events, etc.) is only a 10 minute walk from the home. Uber & Lyft are available.
