HOSTED BY: The Candy Apple is a part of the All Belong Collective, a local small business dedicated to providing 5 star stays. Our team will take good care of you!

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.

Awesome House!
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!

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.

Perfect Retreat with Exceptional Hospitality
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!

Nice home for multiple families
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.

Candy Apple Christmas Vacation
Property is adorable and spacious. It had a special treat of a gorgeous big Christmas tree. We did have an issue with oven not working but management responded timely and maintenance arrived within a few hours. TV’s only had streaming. No national stations which was not ideal. But overall the house was great.

Wedding Week
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.

Great place for a family!
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.

Comfortable and Convenient
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!

We rented your house for our sons wedding who was on leave from the Navy. Our family and 3 of his best friends came in from Texas. All of us had the best time. Your house was perfect. We had so much room and everything we needed. We even had enough room in the living room for a mother/son dance before the wedding. You truly thought of everything.

Our family was so delighted with the accommodations and extras that Candy Apple offered. The children loved the play area in the basement, the bunk beds, toys, tree house and skeeball! We were delighted that the youngest settled right down in the crib without any problem. The many bathrooms and many bedrooms were just what our family needed. We were able to all eat together and found items in the cupboards that helped with our meal prep. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and Amy was great to work with..
