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 the experience of this special little space in the heart of our lovely city of seven 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 as a teenager was here, and upon moving home from Singapore I fell into the restoration of this beautiful old abandoned Carriage House so visitors can experience here 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.
