Best VRBO Place

This was the best place I’ve ever stayed via a VRBO rental. Quaint historic cottage near everything. Very easy check-in, so many little extras, and a perfectly quiet cottage. Loved it. I’d give it 10 stars. Owners very communicative and friendly.

Wonderful Stay at the Rivermont Carriage House

Super cute carriage house that is very comfortable and impeccably appointed. Holly and Tom thought of everything when they created this cozy place. Crazy good blueberry muffins and home baked dog treats awaited us upon arrival. Highly recommend a stay here when in the Lynchburg area.

Our 2nd stay and just as amazing as the first

This was our second time staying at the carriage house and it won’t be our last. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and make the space feel so much like home. It’s comfortable, beautifully maintained, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. They even welcomed our dog, which means so much to us. The location is fantastic—close to everything but still peaceful and quiet. We truly love this property and can’t recommend it enough!

Best VRBO house ever

After staying on VRBO rentals for almost 20 years, this was the most impressive. It’s quaint, cozy and it had every convenience. We were impressed with how things were repurposed in a useful, eye catching way. It was spotlessly clean We would highly recommend this home, and return if in the area. Thank you for having us.

Holly and Tom, are the best hosts! They do special things to make sure you know you are special! Flowers, a personalized pamphlet with my dog's picture (Buddy), treats for us and Buddy! No other Airbnb or Verbo has ever been so generous and hospitable. We have stayed in many and the Carriage House is the best! The house is historic and in a nice neighborhood with other nice houses. I loved the screened in porch to drink my morning coffee. It is the little touches that make this little house so special!Such a nice little Carriage House! ! I highly recommend!
Buddy's special treats, bags, and personalized pamphlet.
Special muffins for us. So, so good!

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.

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 Couple Getaway

This property is A-MA-ZING. It is the sweetest little cottage packed with everything one could possibly need for a stay. It is nestled behind a big, beautiful plantation home with its own driveway. It has a very comfy living area with a full kitchen on one side and a screened in porch on the other. The bedroom and bathroom are upstairs and could not be any better. There are so many extra amenities from shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryer and a basket full of anything you need if you forgot your own toiletries. The attention to detail is spot on. The hosts have attended to every detail imaginable. It is in a great, quiet location close to many restaurants, grocery stores and other attractions.
