Every now and then you run into a renter that goes above and beyond in caring about how they take care of a place while they're there, and how they leave a place when they depart. Debbie is that renter. It was incredible to walk in to the house after she and family were gone and see the lengths Debbie had gone to leave it like she found it. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience, Debbie. You're a gem.

Wonderful Property

This was a wonderful property for our stay for Liberty University Graduation 2023. It is close the University in a residential neighborhood but feels very private and secluded. The house is roomy and 8 of us stayed comfortably. The screened in porch overlooking the pond was my favorite spot. The owner was great to work with and super responsive. I highly recommend this property.

Following Anna and her groups stay, it was said that "the only way you could tell they were there were by a few of the essentials that were used". That feeling of coming home to a renter who has treated the home with that level of care could never get old. Anna was simply amazing from the time she booked the home until the wonderful words she left today. It was a privilege to have someone in our home like that. You are beyond fortunate if you ever have the chance to rent to Anna, and I say that without hesitation. Thank you for being so amazing.

Great place!

Our family of 7 (2 adults + 5 kids) stayed here for my husband’s PhD graduation from Liberty. We loved every part of this house. The kids especially loved the gameroom and basketball goal. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The outdoor area is beautiful and peaceful, and we loved the neighborhood. The home is located minutes away from anything you might need or want but feels like you are tucked away in the woods. We will definitely come back!

There's a special ingredient people who rent vacation homes, or are close to someone who does, have that just provides the wow factor when you come back and see the property. Parris is one of those people, and I can say 100% that we were lucky she chose to stay with us. The home was impeccable upon return. The laundry process was started. It literally seemed like no one had been there. Consider yourself beyond fortunate should Parris choose to rent from you. We can only hope she'll choose us again some day.

Family Time and LU Visit

This is a new favorite home away from home for our family. We stayed here while taking a family trip to visit our daughter, who is a student at Liberty Univ. The location to campus was excellent while also providing a secluded getaway. The amenities and environment are phenomenal. All the little details including the decor, twinkling lights, boats for the pond, coffee bar, screened porch overlooking the pond, retro video game, etc make this a wonderful place and were all appreciated. Ryan’s communication is fantastic and he went above and beyond to help us feel welcomed. This rental is a must see gem… my children have all said we have to stay here again the next time we visit LU.

I don't think nicer words have ever been said from a renter on any site the home is on. But that falls straight in-line with how you took care of the place, with the person who cleans-up saying "this is amazing. I hope they come back again."

Paradise Near Lynchburg

If you're looking for a five-star getaway, this is the property for you. We rented this property for our son's graduation weekend and it was absolutely perfect. Ryan was on top of every aspect of our stay. The house is very private and offers all the amenities you could possibly desire. The great room, dining room, and kitchen are all open concept and this area opens up to a screened-in porch and open deck overlooking the pond out back. The four bedrooms and 3 bathrooms offered a ton of space for a family of 6. The house offers everything you would need for a home away from home. The welcome package was incredible and provided more extras than we could use. Fishing on the pond was also a highlight during our stay. We caught some sizable fish and it made the adventure even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a spot to really kickback and relax, I would definitely recommend this property. From the personal touches to the home itself, you just can't go wrong. Thanks again for a lifetime memory!!!
