Went to visit my daughter for the weekend and this house was perfect! The hosts were easy to contact and very responsive. The house itself was beautiful and the washer and dryer came in handy. Great location that was walking distance to restaurants and shops. Will definitely consider this house again when visiting in the future.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us for your weekend visit, Richard! We'd be glad to host you anytime.
Wow!! Such a beautiful home. The thought, details, history and beauty of this property are unmatched. We loved all the paintings, history, pictures and decor! This home had everything we needed for our stay and everyone couldn’t get over how comfy the beds were and how soft the sheets were. Don’t miss out on the upstairs balcony and swing! Perfect for relaxing with a book or having morning coffee! This stay was just perfection!

Thank you for your kind words, Jill! We're thrilled that you appreciated the home so much.
We absolutely loved our stay at the MLK House! It felt like living inside a historic home and art museum, with every room filled with character and thoughtful details. The beds were so comfortable, the porch swing was perfect for relaxing, and the location made it easy to explore downtown and visit Liberty University. Knowing our stay also supported the local community made it even more meaningful. Highly recommend!
We needed to take a very quick and last minute trip to Lynchburg, and this house was everything we needed and more! The space is magnificent - very clean and beautiful! Communication was above and beyond - messages were responded to very quickly and kindly. The beds were very comfortable. We wish we could have stayed longer! A Mexican restaurant and donut shop are right across the street. We’ll be back to visit this beautiful house!
Absolutely beautiful property. Close to the downtown river front venues and activities. The location seemed to be close to the main thoroughfares around Lynchburg. I do t think we were more than 15 min drive from anywhere. We had a fabulous stay.
The house is wonderfully renovated and decorated. The beds were so comfortable and the house cozy. Plenty of space for multiple guests. I think we said I love this house a million times. Will definitely stay during Lacrosse season. One of the best properties in Lynchburg.

Thank you for your review! So glad to hear that you loved the home! We look forward to hosting you again soon!
My husband, daughter and I had a lovely weeklong stay as we explored west central Virginia. The house had everything we needed (plus a wonderful donut shop across the street). We walked to downtown Lynchburg several times, and enjoyed daytrips to Roanoke, Smith Mountain Lake, Lexington and Staunton.

Wonderful to hear, Wendi! We enjoyed hosting you and hope to do so again!
We loved this house. The decor is lovely!
Everything was designer decorated and we appreciated all the special touches.
We enjoyed the walking distance to the doughnut shop and downtown. This area is up and coming with beautiful Victorian historical mansions nearby.
Thank you!!

Thanks for staying at The Dream, Doug! We're glad to hear you enjoyed all the special touches and convenient location of this property. It truly is unique and we hope to get a chance to host you again!
The home is beautiful, one of the best I've ever stayed in! It had everything we needed to feel right at home. The beds were quality and comfortable, the bathrooms were clean and supplied with plenty of clean, quality towels. All over the home and it's decor was beautiful (LOVED the dining room table). And the location was excellent. Highly recommend this home! We will definitely book it again.

Thanks for staying at the Dream - and we're glad that you loved all the details. Come back anytime!
This is an absolutely beautiful house, the way it was renovated kept so much of the character of the home, while also making you feel like you are staying in a fancy hotel. The location is perfect, we walked to all of the restaurants and downtown shops because they are only blocks away. Easy parking. And the host was always very quick in communication with any questions we had. We plan to stay here again the next time we visit Lynchburg.

Thanks for that wonderful feedback, Charles! We're glad you enjoyed the home and location, and we can't wait to host you again!
The location is excellent and very walkable. The house was very well appointed and equipped. Only real complaint was the street noise and maybe because we are used to the constant road and traffic noise all night. If you are a sound sleeper, no problem.
Absolutely great property that I would highly recommend. The house has a ton of charm, style and decor that makes you feel like a home away from home. The house has plenty of space to spread out, enjoy relaxing, dining, and hanging together. The house is the most stocked house I've ever stayed in for a kitchen and appliances, with a great selection and supply of linens, towels, and bathroom supplies. Highly recommend the place, they've done an excellent job with the house.

Thanks for the kind words! So glad you enjoyed your stay. Come back anytime!
Our stay at the "Dream" house in downtown Lynchburg was a true home away from home. The amount of thought and detail that was put into the decor, and the upscale selection of bed, bath, and kitchen essentials made our stay even more comfortable. My one year old son loved walking the spacious downstairs going in and out of each of the rooms. We loved how much care was put into preserving the history of the structure while also providing updated and tasteful finishes. We will most definitely stay here again!

So thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Dream! It really is a stunning home with beautiful character in a wonderful area - come back anytime!
We loved this house! The bedrooms were incredible and the house was cozy. The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is none of the doors inside have locks and one of the bedroom doors didn’t latch at all. Outside of that it was an incredible house.

Thank you for your feedback, we so appreciate you taking the time to share with us. We're sorry for the inconvenience of the doors--one of the drawbacks of restoring a historic home, but so glad you enjoyed the home otherwise!
Beautiful house (may not be ideal for light sleepers)
The house was absolutely beautiful and decorations were spot on. The only thing I had an issue with was out of the control of the owner, it was the noise of the traffic from the bedrooms. This house is directly on the corner of a busy roadway with brick/cobblestone section that was very loud when cars drove over it. They did provide a sound machine to help drown out the traffic noise. The house was ideal for our stay and withing walking distance to several places. Thank you for having us!

Thanks for your review! We're sorry the noise from the outside kept you up, but glad that it didn't keep you from enjoying the home and all the neighborhood has to offer!
About the host
Hosted by Amy Corbett
We’ve been married for over 25 years and have two amazing kids through the gift of adoption. Our family’s story has had lots of twists and turns over the years, including the one where we stepped down from 17 years of campus ministry, leaving salaries and financial stability behind. We didn’t really have our “what’s next” plan, but decided to focus on our life-long side hobby of houses until we could figure it out.
We started renting out our River House Apt in 2018, and as we began welcoming guests from all over the world, we were hooked. It became clear that creating these welcoming spaces where anyone could belong was not just a mission, but a calling upon our family.
Our business, All Belong Co, now hosts 30+ properties and we're just as passionate as ever to give our guests a 5 star stay!
Why they chose this property
There's a donut shop across the street- what more could you want? But seriously, we love the walkability and accessibility to downtown shops and restaurants.
