About this property

You'll have this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home all to yourself. Enjoy a cup of coffee out on the front porch, or ride your bike to the nearby trails on Blackwater Creek. Convenient to all the local universities, you'll be sure to enjoy your stay, no matter how you choose to spend your time!

This beautiful 1906 home is a photographer's dream! Perfect for wedding parties.

THE KITCHEN - Equipped with a full refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, 4-toast toaster, coffee pot and is stocked with cooking tools and dishes. The coffee bar includes a variety of coffee flavors and teas for your enjoyment.

THE DINING ROOM - Seating for 6 in the large dining room. Enjoy a meal or a game around the table.

THE LIVING ROOM - Equipped with a Queen Pullout and a TV, there are doors that can be closed to give privacy and feel like a true 4th bedroom!

BEDROOM 1 - Upstairs with a Queen Bed, a full dresser, luggage rack, and a small closet, reminiscent of the era. Each Queen bedroom is equipped with a TV.

BEDROOM 2 - Another Queen Bedroom upstairs, just like the first. Full dresser, luggage rack, small closet and TV.

BEDROOM 3 - This small bunk room upstairs is perfect for the kids! 1 Bunk Bed with two single beds, and a luggage rack complete the room.

BATHROOMS - 1 full bath on each level - enjoy the clawfoot tub upstairs and feel free to utilize the washer dryer in the lower level bath.

OUTSIDE - Enjoy front porch sitting on this downtown street corner. The backyard is owned by the church next door, but they are gracious to let us use it. We ask our guests to please be respectful and clean up after themselves.

Guests will enter the home via a keypad on the backdoor. The easiest access to this is from the church parking lot right next door where guests may utilize two of our private parking spots.

This home was remodeled in 2021 but the character of the early 1900s is seen throughout. We are excited to offer brand new heating/cooling, electrical and plumbing, AND the beautiful, ornate details you would expect of a home built in 1906. We know you will enjoy it as much as we do!

Better than advertised

We had a terrific experience. This vintage house is beautiful. Everything is first class and well done. The owners were very accommodating and went above and beyond typical VRBO hosts. Will stay again in the future.

Great home base to explore Lynchburg

This charming home was a comfortable, calm refuge during our very busy visit to Lynchburg. The beds were cozy, the place spotless, and the downstairs shower was heavenly! So many great places within walking distance-and easy access to the expressway. We felt safe the entire time and grateful for the Diamond Hill retreat

Great stay in cute neighborhood

Graduation and Mother’s Day weekend were the occasions for a few days In Lynchburg. The cute house on Grace street made it wonderful for everyone. The kitchen was well appointed, the beds were comfy, the neighborhood was a great place to walk and see sights. Plus we all enjoyed the front porch. My only caution is if you’re traveling with an elderly person. My MIL struggled with the steps going into the house. Also I would only consider using the bunk room for kids. The beds looked great but the room is pretty small. The other 2 bedrooms were quite large. We would definitely stay here again. The hosts were great. We loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Anna Ebersold

Dan & Anna met at James Madison University in 2006, and have lived in the Lynchburg area for over 10 years. We ventured into the world of hosting back in 2015 when we rented our home to guests from time to time. We loved it so much that we decided to create a space for guests to stay full-time! We spend much of our time keeping up with our three children, and exploring the city we love. We are excited to share our little city with you!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property the moment we saw it. It has so many unique features that bring you back to the early 20th century, but we knew the importance of updated features that guests depend on. This home is a perfect mix of the two. We also love its proximity to downtown. A walk or drive up Washington St. allows visitors to see some of the beautiful properties in this historic district. We are proud of all the revitalization happening here and are thrilled to share it with all who stay with us!
