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!

Best VRBO Place

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.

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.

Charming cottage that felt like home

Hidden behind a lovely home on Rivermont, this cottage was the perfect place to spend our holidays near our grandchildren. When we arrived we were spoiled with a plate of bakery blueberry muffins that we indulged in every morning! Yum! The downstairs had everything we needed to make coffee and tea, whip up a quick lunch or even bake a dessert. The bedroom is cozy and the bed is oh so comfortable. It is a quiet and peaceful retreat. The bathroom is spacious and well appointed. All the extras were much appreciated. We even had a washer/dryer in case we needed to do a quick load of laundry. This property is magical and the location is perfect. You can walk into beautiful neighborhoods and stay on the flat part of Lynchburg and still get a good walk in. We were minutes from our family and enjoyed coming home each evening. The extra touches of a Bluetooth jute box and even a Christmas tree made it all so wonderful. Thank you to our hosts for making our Christmas visit so special.

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 for a solo "retreat"

The Carriage House is lovely in every aspect. Its presentation was such that it inspired care for its use. I came for the privacy and solitude; I had creative work to do that required it. Other guests have mentioned the numerous thoughtful amenities, including the blueberry muffins. I appreciated most the screened in patio, for which the late October weather was perfect. Most definitely, the Carriage House is a 5-star place to enjoy.

I quite literally have never walked in to a vacation home and said “wow, this place is so clean and spotless” until staying at this cottage. The hosts are so lovely, their communication was excellent, and the whole home was even more beautiful in person. I ended up having to leave a day earlier because my travel plans changed and I was SO sad. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

A Most Extraordinary Cottage

From the moment we arrived we felt the care of the owners in their attention to every aspect of our comfort. Just entering the grounds of this property created in us a sense of joyful anticipation. The exterior of the cottage is absolutely charming and the grounds are gorgeous. Holly and Tom have created a beautifully appointed space perfect for relaxing and rejuvenating. Upon entering the cottage we were greeted with a personalized welcome sign, a vase of fresh flowers and soft music playing; such nice touches. In every room there are special touches and some nice surprises which made us feel at home. We could go on and on about all that we loved about staying in this sweet cottage but we want to quell our enthusiasm so others can have the pleasure of discovering the delights for themselves. Our only disappointment was that we were in Lynchburg for just a couple of days with a busy schedule and could not spend ALL of our time enjoying the peace of this unique place. However, we are planning to do just that, many times in the future.

Being a fan of the Rivermont area, I was thrilled to find this gem situated right where I love to be. The moment I arrived, I felt instantly at home. The hosts have truly thought of everything.

The bed was incredibly comfortable, and it’s clear that no detail has been overlooked. The place is stocked with books, games, and puzzles, perfect for some cozy downtime. They’ve also provided a wonderful guide to the area, which was spot-on and full of great recommendations. The description on the listing is 100% accurate, and the experience exceeded my expectations.
