You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Historic Home- Walking Distance to Downtown

Diamond Hill Place is located in the historic Diamond Hill District, just a 5 minute walk to Downtown Lynchburg! Our home has the beautiful charm of 1906, but with the comfort and amenities of today. You'll have this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home all to yourself. Enjoy a cup of coffee out on the front porch, or ride your bike to the nearby trails on Blackwater Creek. Convenient to all the local universities, you'll be sure to enjoy your stay, no matter how you choose to spend your time!

This beautiful 1906 home is a photographer's dream! Perfect for wedding parties.

THE KITCHEN - Equipped with a full refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, 4-toast toaster, coffee pot and is stocked with cooking tools and dishes. The coffee bar includes a variety of coffee flavors and teas for your enjoyment.

THE DINING ROOM - Seating for 6 in the large dining room. Enjoy a meal or a game around the table.

THE LIVING ROOM - Equipped with a Queen Pullout and a TV, there are doors that can be closed to give privacy and feel like a true 4th bedroom!

BEDROOM 1 - Upstairs with a Queen Bed, a full dresser, luggage rack, and a small closet, reminiscent of the era. Each Queen bedroom is equipped with a TV.

BEDROOM 2 - Another Queen Bedroom upstairs, just like the first. Full dresser, luggage rack, small closet and TV.

BEDROOM 3 - This small bunk room upstairs is perfect for the kids! 1 Bunk Bed with two single beds, and a luggage rack complete the room.

BATHROOMS - 1 full bath on each level - enjoy the clawfoot tub upstairs and feel free to utilize the washer dryer in the lower level bath.

OUTSIDE - Enjoy front porch sitting on this downtown street corner. The backyard is owned by the church next door, but they are gracious to let us use it. We ask our guests to please be respectful and clean up after themselves.

Guests will enter the home via a keypad on the backdoor. The easiest access to this is from the church parking lot right next door where guests may utilize two of our private parking spots.

This home was remodeled in 2021 but the character of the early 1900s is seen throughout. We are excited to offer brand new heating/cooling, electrical and plumbing, AND the beautiful, ornate details you would expect of a home built in 1906. We know you will enjoy it as much as we do!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

This house is full of charm! My family and I were only there two nights and the home accommodated all 8 of us comfortably. The decorations were sparse, which I liked because it enhanced the calm atmosphere in the house as well as highlighted the details of the home itself. The stairs leading into the home were steep for my 83 year old mother but she managed them with a little help. Parking in the church lot worked very well as the church patrons were friendly and kind to us. The upstairs bathroom could have used a little wipe down in the corners but the amenities were clean and there was soap and shampoo and clean towels. Perfect for us. We all had a great time gathering and talking. We felt very comfortable and safe there.

This historic home has been updated to be a comfortable place to stay in central Lynchburg. My family group of 4 fit comfortably in the home, although it was a tight squeeze for my 6' tall teen to fit on the bunk beds in the smallest bedroom. The only drawbacks to our stay were road noise from cars (and emergency vehicles) going by in the middle of the night, and the need to leave early on Sunday morning so we weren't using the parking space in the church lot.

This property was perfectly situated just blocks away from the heart of downtown Lynchburg and the river/trails! It was decorated so cute with all the amenities needed for a cross country trip! We would definitely come back here!

Great quick stay!

For our group of 3 it was both more affordable and more comfortable than any hotel. We awoke well rested and in the morning we easily walked to a crepes restaurant for breakfast. It was very cozy. I had the thought that this would be a perfect place to quietly work on a writing project. Just what we needed!

Thanksgiving Trip

The house was beautiful and just what we needed. There wasn’t a hair dryer for my wife like it said there was, but that was the only mishap. There was a used coffee pod left in the other bowl of pods. The neighborhood was a bit sketchy. First night for over thirty minutes at 11:30 at night there was an old drunk guy screaming profanities up and down the street. Last night we had police presence right down the road and then heard five more with lights and sirens fly right by the house up the street. Other than the sketchy neighborhood, the stay was what we needed. The thermostat is also quite aggravating and would reset itself. I woke up last night to it not staying at the temp I set and it was only 61.

Great stay and beautiful house!

We booked this location for me and my wedding party to stay and get ready at for my big day. The house was lovely (I am personally obsessed with the hardwood floors and the kitchen). The space was perfect for getting ready and catching up with each other. I only advise visitors to bring a few extra blankets, especially if you plan on utilizing the pull-out couch. It gets pretty chilly at night and there weren't a lot of spare blankets. Finding extra parking on 14th was also a little tricky; some of us had to park wayyy down the street. Other than that, asbolutely great!

Wedding weekend

My husband, myself and our adult children and spouses needed a home away from home for my niece’s wedding event. We always enjoy homes with character. This was spot on. Beautiful very clean and near a lot of historic places. While we didn’t do a lot of cooking everything was places very well and we could have. The bedrooms were spacious and even the tiny bunk bed room served a great purpose. Thank you for the organized and beautiful weekend to compliment our stay!

Large size home, parking convenient (thankfully not on the busy street), walkway to get in really needs to be better (a couple pavers when it is raining are difficult and messy to navigate; also difficult to navigate and unsafe for elderly guests), back steps are very steep (difficult to manage for elderly guests), main 2 bedrooms are comfortable, would not recommend twin beds for anyone other than very small children (top bunk okay but bottom bunk is very close quarters!), clean, instructions on how to navigate heating/cooling would be nice (house was a little warm at 75). Overall better than a hotel offering good space and giving ability to cook.

Great home base to explore Lynchburg

This charming home was a comfortable, calm refuge during our very busy visit to Lynchburg. The beds were cozy, the place spotless, and the downstairs shower was heavenly! So many great places within walking distance-and easy access to the expressway. We felt safe the entire time and grateful for the Diamond Hill retreat
