Woods & Water to Explore just 20 mins to Liberty Univ - 10 to Downtown Lynchburg

Eaton's Edge offers a smoke free downstairs apartment with exterior entrance, private drive, full kitchen, private laundry room and a home theater. With 20 acres of wooded seclusion, you can step out your door and relax next to the Cascades of Harris Creek, sit and watch deer and turkey in the yard, spot owls, bats and eagles overhead or build a campfire in the pit and listen to the sounds of rushing water and rambling freight trains in the distance. All this and only three miles to Walmart, Food Lion, Redbox and terrific pizza. Our road is one narrow mile of bumps, curves and hills!

20 minutes to Liberty University and all the local colleges in Lynchburg. 10 minutes to the historic Lynchburg River District with its cobblestone streets, antique shops, festivals, concerts, walking trails, restaurants and nightlife. Academy Center for the Arts is just over the bridge.

Bring some paddling gear and head to Monacan Park for a paddle on the James River or rent some gear from James River Adventures at River's Edge Park. Drive out Elon Road to the famous Woodruffs' Pie Shop where you can enjoy a meal, pie, coffee and good conversation with the locals.

Whether you want to launch a family exploration of Liberty University, Lynchburg and all that Amherst County has to offer or you need a quiet, private, comfortable place to stay during a weeklong intensive course, Eaton's Edge is ready for you.

***Studio Upgrade Optional: When requested, we may be able to offer you an additional studio apartment with a bedroom which sleeps 2 more guests and another large full bath. This studio apartment is completely distinct from the rest of the house. It has its own private entrance, and is adjacent to the main apartment for togetherness and supervision. This is an ideal option for three generations traveling together. The Studio Upgrade requires an additional fee which is provided upon request through the VRBO system as a special offer.

Loved the location

Myself, along with my son and daughter-in-law, were in VA for a family wedding. The initial drive to the property off the main road seemed a never-ending series of hills, twists and turns, especially for folks from the city. But, in fact, the trip in/out was only about five minutes. The property itself was great. A two bedroom, one bath on the lower level of a lovely private home. The house is on a hill so we could drive right to our entrance in back. The unit is all on one floor with no steps (important to me). There's just a short walk down to the creek. The area is wooded and incredibly quiet. Hosts provide a number of outdoor activities. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would definitely recommend.

Beautiful country setting!

The property was so spacious, clean and had literally everything you could ever need in a vacation rental. Plenty of comfy seating in the common areas and a great projection TV system for movie viewing. It unfortunately rained buckets the whole time we were staying on site, so we didn’t get to utilize all the wonderful outdoor amenities like the fire pit, tubing on the stream (literally!) in the back yard and exploring the woods. And it’s close to lots of the attractions we came to the area for including the BlueRidge Parkway and the Natural Bridge Caverns. I highly recommend this lovely home away from home.

Peaceful Retreat, Everything You Need

The size is perfect, so is everything else! We fit our family of seven very comfortably. I loved not having to pack a lot so that my kids had things to play outside. There were many comforts of home in case we forgot. 😊 The kids walked in and all smiled right away, so it was immediately a good sign. It rained a little, so we went to Sea Quest at the mall and also did a little shopping. There was more of the property l, outside games, and Lynchburg we left unexplored, so we hope to return. 💌💌 It was nice to give my kids a piece of my childhood, exploring the creek and being outside was great!

Great location for LUCOM Graduation

The location is great being close to LU and downtown Lynchburg. The setting is so serene and the hosts were great with communication. The kitchen had every appliance we needed and we enjoyed grilling out the first evening. Would highly recommend and even though we probably won’t be back to Lynchburg, we would definitely stay there again!!

Perfect elopement stay

My husband and I and our 1 year old twins enjoyed our stay here. It was so homey and clean. The host had plenty of extra towels and blankets which was a plus. And I loved that they had extra fans in the closet for the white noise! The only things I would change, is a smart tv and a softer bed! We would definitely stay here again! The creek is so beautiful I wish we could have hung out down there more during our stay! Thank you again for sharing your home!

We had a lovely stay

We had a short stay at the property because we were in town for a wedding. We didn’t have a chance to enjoy all of the activities and the river behind the house due to the events we had to attend. The property was much larger than I thought based on the photos. It was very comfortable and spacious for a family of 4. Jennifer was a great hostess and was always available for any questions. I highly recommend this property.

This place is amazing

This was the best experience ever. We went here for my daughters graduation from liberty. We never dreamed we would meet such a nice couple that own the property. They knew why we were there and really went to extra mile in helping us celebrate her accomplishment. They had cup cakes with a graduation cap, and a cinnamon bun that was over the top. Thank you so much!!! The property is just amazing, walking from the house down to the fire pit is well light and easy to get to, it over looks a nice mountain river, the sound of the water over the rocks from the fire pit is amazing. Walking down to the river is so beautiful and the sound of the water is just so soothing. Once you get down to the river they have walking sticks so you don’t fall while walking the river. I will sum it up with you will be very happy that you stayed here!!!!! We didn’t want to leave

Quiet retreat

We had such a wonderful time in this cute little attached basement. We had our own entrance, outdoor area, and all the facilities we needed to make our stay peaceful and enjoyable. We were very close to the city of Lynchburg so we went there many times to enjoy what the city has to offer. We would definitely recommend! Also, the river in the backyard is absolutely gorgeous but you do have to go down some steep steps which, being a healthy family of ages 3, 5, 34, and 38, we had no problem traversing but it would be difficult for someone with mobility concerns. One of our favorite escapes yet!
