Nice escape from the hustle and bustle of life and technology, host was accommodating and prompt, instructions were clear. Bed was very comfortable, nice fresh linens and towels, shower was amazing with hot water and great pressure. We enjoyed making fresh coffee with the French press and looking at all the antique items, brought back so many memories of my grandparents home!

The perfect alternative to a boring hotel!

I was just in town for a night and LOVED coming "home" to this cute place to relax after a long drive and a big party.

Staying at the Carriage House in Lynchburg was a wonderful experience! It is a very comfortable and functional space while still being historical and unique. Comfort/functional and historical don't always mesh well. In this situation it does beautifully. The location is in a nice neighborhood that has easy access to all areas in Lynchburg. Everything was spotless and the attention to detail is over the top anticipating guests needs. In addition, Brad took his personal time to go above and beyond making sure we knew where all the special places are to visit in the area. We will be staying again at the Carriage House in the future. It's at the top of our list! Our best Vrbo stay ever!!!!!!

What an amazing weekend we had here! Everything was exactly as described in the listing, no hidden surprises. We love older structures, the use of reclaimed materials and attention to historical significance so this property hit it out of the park! If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely book again!! Thanks so much for the Lynchburg hospitality from a hometown guy :)

Quaint, Quiet, and Historic

The Carriage House Revival is AMAZING!! It’s a fully restored carriage house. If you like rustic, vintage, antique, rugged, historic themed accommodations… THIS IS IT!! Brad communicated beautifully, the directions for parking and entry were perfect. Everything about our stay was ideal. Anytime we go back to Lynchburg. We plan on staying here. I highly recommend it.

Carriage House

The Carriage House was a great find. A unique destination, restored thoughtfully. Brad is a great host and shared his family ties to this area and how he went about restoring this charming cottage with unique old world materials from around Lynchburg. There were interesting artifacts throughout repurposed in clever ways.

Eclectic Hand Made Gem

What an interesting place. Each nook and cranny has some interesting piece of history on it that was recycled from an old house/barn/door. Great amenities to include a washer dryer, coffee, big fridge, and chargers. A great place to chill for a quiet evening after Lynchburg events. Super clean with brand new bedding and towels. I would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Julian Adams

Host profile image
Locally born, globally grown. I love sharing this special little Carriage House with visitors, here in the heart of our lovely little city of 7 hills!

Why they chose this property

Like almost all the recycled local materials used in the restoration, I’m from here. My grandfather started a car business in 1932 just across the street in the heart of the great depression - as the other three car dealerships we’re going out of business. My first job was here caring for the sidewalks along these blocks. And upon moving home from Singapore, I fell accidentally into the restoration of this beautiful old abandoned Carriage House. I’m so glad to offer visitors the chance to experience her(e) too!

What makes this property unique

The restoration is almost exclusively done using locally, reclaimed, recycled building materials from Lynchburg‘s cherished old homes, including the main house on this property, which partially burned in 2015, and was dismantle by hand. Old beams, old bricks, old granite street curbs, old wood, an old claw foot tub, the plumbing workbench that was originally here - the list goes on! Come see.
