HOSTED BY: The Candy Apple is hosted by All Belong Co, a local team dedicated to providing 5 star stays.
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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

House was clean, beds comfortable, showers had good waterpressure, lots of space for our family to sit and visit. Some noise from steel pipe plant down the hill but only really hear it in upstairs back bedroom. Host does provide white noise machines. Nice walking trail to downtown down the street

I rented Candy Apple for a vacation stay for my family of 13! We had plenty of room, the house was very clean and well stocked with games for our youngest grandchildren. It was a great central location for our historic day outings, and also central to many stores and great dinning options. The neighbors were very friendly as well! We had an absolute wonderful time and would highly recommend this house for your next vacation!!

Wedding Celebration
The Candy Apple is a beautiful, clean, spacious and well furnished home to rent for you r stay in Lynchburg. We were very impressed with the inside of the house. The beds were super comfy!! The parking is a bit tight. There is a very nice deck to use - unfortunately, carpenter bees galore. The cons were the wifi - we all had trouble - could not get wifi . Lastly, the yard was not useable; glad we did not have children. All in all this house served our purpose very nicely. !!

Family friendly home for your whole crew
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.

What an awesome place for a family reunion
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.

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.

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.
