Birthday Weekend
We had a wonderful weekend getaway to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We love downtown Lynchburg with its rich history, outdoor activities, and great restaurants. The Gilliam House sits perched overlooking downtown and the surrounding mountains. An easy walk to everything we wanted to do. We absolutely loved the historic house with its quirky personality and tidy decor. Easy parking on a very quiet street was a plus!

Unique Spot, Amazing View
What a unique stay! The host was very communicative which made checkin/out easy. The rental has a unique layout that can be a little awkward at times, but the view and the neighborhood more than make up for any shortfalls.

Beautiful historic home right by Monument Park. Walking distance to restaurants. My favorite part was the outdoor deck. The fire place and veiws were amazing. Would stay again!

Historic Gem
This historic home that is nestled on a quiet street made our first trip to Lynchburg a great one. Conveniently located within walking distance to downtown, we were able to park and didn’t need to move our vehicle again until departure. Communication with the hosts and check-in was easy and fast on both accounts. If we return to Lynchburg we would definitely stay here again.

Great location - OK stay
The property owners were great and the location was perfect for everything within walking distance. We had some minor issues and they worked with us quickly to resolve them and even offered a kindness. Positives: We loved the location. Parking was handy on the street. When it wasn't raining the rooftop area has fantastic views. The large ceilings were lovely and overall everything worked well. No major issues overall. Negatives: Please know this property has a tenant in the downstairs and the upper level is wide open. You must lock each door from the landing every time you leave. Towels were a bit musty smelling and the tub situation is a bit tight. Furniture and mattress were well worn and sagging. The sink and kitchen are very small so be prepared to get creative when washing dishes! It was suitable for what we needed but could use a few little upgrades.

Beautiful apartment in Lynchburg
The apartment is really lovely. My daughter was in awe of the grand old building and inside the owners have really thought of everything to make you comfortable. The view of the city off the deck is spectacular and we were treated with a great fireworks show when we stayed over Fourth of July weekend. It is definitely within walking distance to everything but the city is very hilly so be ready with good shoes!

Nice getaway in Lynchburg
We enjoyed our stay in an old historic home with a great balcony overlooking the city. The bed was comfy with nice crisp, white linens. Local yummy places to eat too!

Perfect getaway location
Perfect downtown location in Lynchburg for a weekend getaway. It was a springboard location for us to visit Liberty University, the Virginia Safari, the Natural Bridge and going hiking. The place was exactly as described: quaint and with much character. Had the weather cooperated a bit more, we would have spent more time on the outside deck overlooking downtown as well as the distant mountains. The place had the necessary amenities and cooking supplies needed should you decide to cook or heat up a meal but there were too many great restaurants in nearby downtown that we could not pass up. Would definitely recommend this place to others if looking for a place in or near Lynchburg.
