*NO SMOKING. We do not allow smoking within 20 feet of the home as smoke can travel inside the home.
*NO PETS. We are firm. There will be an additional $250 charge if evidence of a pet is found.
*QUIET HOURS outside are from 10pm-7am. It is important to us that we are good neighbors, so please keep noise to a minimum.
*FOLLOW CHECKOUT INSTRUCTIONS. Checkout is anytime BEFORE 10am so that our cleaning staff may prepare for the next reservation. Instructions will be in the guest manual as well as sent in messaging prior to your departure.
*SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK. Upon booking, all guests must understand that we, the owners, nor the hosting company are responsible for any injuries that occur on the premises.

Neighborhood Description:
Picture a street off the TV show "Mad Men" and you'll get a pretty good idea of the neighborhood. This home is tucked away in a beloved neighborhood off Rivermont Ave, but this section of the neighborhood is so unique because there are a few blocks of these midcentury homes that were originally built for the Sears executives back in the day. It's safe, quiet, and you'll likely see people out walking to and from the nearby walking trails.
Getting Around:
Walk (or drive) to the nature trails, coffee shop, or restaurants nearby.

This property on a quiet street was a great getaway. It's a great neighborhood to stroll in - with beautiful homes with a variety of interesting architecture. Very comfortable inside. Pool was lovely and peaceful. We definitely want to come back.

Great place to stay!! - there is some maintenance you will need to do with the pool, as there are large trees which drop leaves and small debris in the pool. They supply Awesome pool towels! One less thing to pack! Owner was very quick to answer my question and extremely pleasant. We would stay again! Highly recommend.

The house was the perfect size and a great location to everything we wanted to see and do. We spent a lot of time before and after the museums in the pool. It was so relaxing to start and end our day swimming. I would definitely do it again.

We loved every minute of our stay.
House and pool were just as pictured/described.
Lots to do in surrounding area. Parks/playgrounds nearby, lots of coffee shops, and local restaurants. My daughters are already wanting to go back again next year!
We had 3 adults and one child and plenty of space. Can easily do three couples or a larger family get together.

We stayed here to attend a graduation for our daughter at Randolph College and it was 3 minutes away. Also, it was a nice mini vacation and a wonderful house to celebrate her achievement. The home is open and airy, with lovely decor. There is plenty of room to spread out inside and out. And it is comfortable and relaxing.

Great house! Perfect for our family for Spring Break. We were in town to watch our son play baseball at LU! Close to campus and downtown Lynchburg. Lots to do for ages 9-76! Walking distance to many places, great coffee shops! Would love to come back later in the year, so we could use the pool!! Would recommend.

This house was a great location for our extended family to stay for our son's wedding. Open floorplan accommodates large groups easily. Would be even better in summer when you can take advantage of the outside amenities.

This house was perfect for a quick getaway for myself and my husband. We biked the nearby trails, cooled off in the pool, cooked a wonderful dinner and enjoyed a movie. This one story house was the perfect ending to my summer recovering from knee replacement. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a fantastic weekend. Will definitely book again!

My family and I had a great week. The pool was awesome. There was an issue with a bathroom but it was addressed and taken care of right away. I would recommend staying at this house. There is a lot to do in Lynchburg.

This home is exactly as advertised! Amazing outdoor entertainment areas plus plenty of room inside ensured that all of my family (ranging in ages from 20 - 80) had a fun place to hang out. I wish I would’ve found this house sooner!

July family visit

Great Stay
This home was a great match for our family stay: 4 adult children, me and my wife. We were able to cook meals, play games and watch movies comfortably. It's in a nice quiet neighborhood. There are some nice outdoor areas as well, but it was a bit cold for us at the time. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Memorable stay for our Sisters Weekend
My sisters and I have booked a different VRBO property yearly over the past 10+ years, with the exception of 2020(due to the pandemic). This beautiful, spacious property is one of the best that we have stayed it. From the moment we arrived, we were so pleased with the cleanliness, clean lines, and comfort of each living space. We found the beds and pillows to be hotel quality. The kitchen was well appointed. We thoroughly enjoyed each of the multiple outdoor spaces, including the fire pit. Given we visited during mid-October, the pool was closed but appears very well-maintained.
Thanks for a memorable long weekend in your 5 star home!

Great Mini Getaway
Had a lovely weekend with family! Beautifully decorated inside, beautiful kitchen and a cozy atmosphere. The only TINY negative thing was one of the bathroom doors would get stuck and our family kept getting stuck inside and we had to push the door open from the outside. But it was a minor issue and we would still recommend it to others. 10/10!

Beautiful home to get away from busy NYC.
We had a great time at the property. Check in was easy and the home was beautiful. My kids played in the pool everyday. There is a nice trail just up the road as well. The neighborhood is very quiet and people are friendly.

Great family house
This house was a great place to meet up with family. We had plenty of space for 2 families of 4. The kitchen was well equipped for making all meals at home and the gas grill was great for grilling. Everyone enjoyed lounging by the pool and taking a swim to cool off. There was plenty of outdoor seating and in different areas so if you wanted to visit or just read a book in the quiet you could. Highly recommend staying here for a relaxing vacation with family or friends.
