NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION: Daniel's Hill is a beautiful, historic neighborhood within walking distance of downtown Lynchburg's shops, restaurants, and events. At the end of the street is an entrance to the Blackwater Creek Trail system, which provides guests miles of paved (and unpaved) walking, hiking, & bike trails.
In our neighborhood, you'll find some brick-paved roads flanked with historic lamp posts, a bustling community center with a fenced-in park and playground, sidewalks in both directions, and architecturally impressive homes built from the 1820's to the early 1900's.
The people in our neighborhood are just as beautiful and diverse as the houses themselves, ranging from residents who have lived in the neighborhood for 50+ years and others who are new to Lynchburg. On the block alone, there are families with young children, single professionals, and elderly folks. It is a "front porch" neighborhood where everyone knows everyone and they watch out for one another. We love this neighborhood and are proud to call it our family's home.
POTENTIAL FOR NOISE: The home is located in historic Daniel's Hill and has beautiful views of the James River. Also situated on the river is a historic iron pipe factory and a railroad. It is fascinating to watch trains go by on occasion and watch the workings of a 24-hour factory (a rare glimpse at American manufacturing!), but please note there is a risk for noise. Our family lives in the neighborhood and is not bothered by it, but we realize it may not be for everyone and some nights work out to be worse than others. We provide a white noise sound machine in the bedrooms should guests feel they need it. *Update: 9/29/26 The city of Lynchburg is working on updating the water lines on the block, so there's a potential for daytime noise only as well as a detour around the block.

We stayed for 4 nights to attend a family wedding. It was a great sized house for multi generations and met the needs for all ages. Everyone was comfortable and entertained. We had a few questions, but the host got back to us quickly.
We came to Lynchburg to visit my son and his fiancé. We were close to a lot of great restaurants and enjoyed the space that the home offered inside the house and outside.
We came to see my daughter who is a student at Liberty University. The house was adorable. The river in the back yard was an added plus! It is well stocked with games and toys for children. It was a great weekend for us!
We were in town for a wedding. The home was spacious, clean and close to so many things to do. We saw deer on our walks. Super nice people at the community center, which is where we hung out for about an hour before the house was ready. We do plan on visiting again!
We stayed at the Candy Apple for a wedding and the house was spacious enough to accommodate our whole group. It is large and kid friendly. We appreciated how open and clean it was. There was not any clutter or things we were afraid our children would break or mess up. We felt able to just "be" which was very nice.
The Candy Apple was the perfect home for our family to celebrate our son's wedding in Lynchburg, VA. We selected this home to meet the needs of our large family coming from Florida for the wedding. It was extremely clean, had plenty of room for everyone, was perfect for children, and our host, Amy, could not have been more accommodating. She answered all my questions and made our stay wonderful. Definitely will return.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Candy Apple! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the cleanliness and charm of the accommodation. The location is perfect, being conveniently close to downtown and all the local attractions.
Lisa was incredibly hospitable and provided all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The cozy interior made me feel right at home, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like local guidebooks, complimentary snacks.
Communication was seamless, and host was always quick to respond to any questions I had. I highly recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a delightful and stress-free experience. I can't wait to return on my next visit!
Ideal Home Base for Lynchburg Stay - Spacious & Comfortable
We booked this VRBO in Lynchburg, VA for our son's college track meet, and it couldn't have been a better choice! The house was wonderfully spacious, offering plenty of room for our son, a couple of his teammates, and ourselves. Everyone had comfortable areas to relax and unwind.
The property had a view that included the river, but even better for the guys was the trail they had easy access to for long runs along the river.
The VRBO itself was well-equipped and comfortable. Everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay was provided. We highly recommend this VRBO to anyone seeking a spacious and comfortable place to stay in Lynchburg.
Five rooms and plenty of toys, books, cribs, bunks, etc., for kids/grandkids. The fenced back yard was great for our dog and there's a small park with playground equipment just two blocks away. The kitchen was spacious and allowed us to cook a few large meals. The eating space was big enough and the living room and rec rooms were great for everything we needed. Perhaps the bet part was showing up and finding that they had put up a Christmas tree for us! The beds were comfortable and the heating/cooling system was great. Bathrooms were clean and in good working order. The entire house was a great facility for comfort, entertainment, children, and good times together.
We stayed at Candy Apple this weekend and it was perfect for our family! There was plenty of room for our teenage sons, our college daughters, and the grandparents. We were even able to bring our dogs so our daughters could see them! The house was spacious, clean, and extremely pet friendly. The owners thought of everything- from a snack basket on the counter to extra dog treats!😊 We have been visiting Lynchburg long enough to know that most of these rental houses are in “older” parts of town, so we weren’t surprised by the location and the neighbors all seemed nice. After reading other reviews, I wondered if noise from the pipe factory would be an issue, but it wasn’t at all- no one in our family even mentioned it! We will definitely stay here again next time we bring our dogs.
We enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We had four adults and seven children, there was plenty of room and beds for everyone. The house was clean, kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to make meals at home. It was so convenient having some essentials supplied by the host such as coffee, sugar, shampoo, conditioner, paper towels, etc. The beds were super comfy. I had read in some previous reviews that the noise from the factory behind the house was disturbing, we definitely agree. We came prepared with ear plugs but the noise from the fork trucks in the middle of the night woke us up several times. The neighborhood was ok. Not exactly the nicest but we did not have any problems and we did not feel unsafe. The owner quickly responded to questions we had prior to our stay and check in was very easy. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home for a vacation.
Spacious, clean, and comfortable ... this house has everything! We loved all the special touches: themed fun rooms, snacks in the kitchen, Wii in the basement, and especially the growth chart marked on the trim in the kitchen. It reminded me of my own kitchen where our son's growth is marked .... the perfect memory for our stay as we leave him at college in Lynchburg. We enjoyed the neighborhood with deer in a nearby backyard, view of the river, and the sweetest neighbor across the street who greeted us with a smile and a wave from her porch every day. The only reason I couldn't give five stars for the location is due to the factory noise behind the neighborhood. Forklifts with beeping sounds took some getting used to. It wasn't super loud, just a regular and present sound. All in all, such a wonderful experience. We will book again if the opportunity arises!
Property was very family friendly and spacious. The parking was fine but more than 4 cars would be difficult. We found the beds very comfortable and the decor was we ll done.
Great host, great location and everyone in our group was very comfortable. Tons of room and more than enough beds, kitchen was stocked with all the necessities as well. Would definitely stay here again, highly recommend!!
The location was in a beautiful part of Lynchburg.. however most of Lynchburg is beautiful. The hostess answered all questions & fulfilled all our needs..Thank you so much to the team
