Welcome to the Carriage House Inn

The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast, an award winning bed and breakfast in Lynchburg, Virginia, is located within walking distance to historic downtown. Situated in the Daniels Hill Historic District it was the first certified green lodging facility in the City of Lynchburg!

The charm, grace and hospitality of the original Watts family and their grand home has been retained by the current owners, Kathy and Michael Bedsworth during their four year restoration of the mansion.  The home is a treasure trove, rich with architectural detail including many of the original fireplaces (9), mantels, light fixtures, moldings, intricately carved woodwork, doors, bath tubs and sinks. 

The four guest rooms in the circa 1878 Italianate mansion are oversized and well appointed to include fine linens, fluffy towels, comfy robes and slippers. Colors throughout the house are representative of colors of the late 1800s. 

While staying here you will find the atmosphere to be warm and inviting.  Guests staying at The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast can enjoy the mansion much as it was back in the 1800s with some updates such as shower enclosures in the baths, central air and heat and wi-fi. 

Our guests love to explore the area and there is so much to see and do that many of our guests make return trips, but by far the best reason to visit Lynchburg is to get away from the rat race and relax.  The downtown dining experience offers a wide variety of cuisines, many in historic structures.   There are four colleges in and around Lynchburg. 

This is the perfect setting for engagements, weddings, honeymoons, romantic getaways, girls get away weekends, anniversaries, birthday celebrations, family reunions, business retreats and is the ideal place to relax, rejuvenate and reconnect.

Our circa 1910 Carriage House, renovated and restored in 2009, features two additional guest suites, each with california king beds and a private bath with an antique claw foot tub and separate shower. On the main level a meeting and event venue.  

We are just 6 blocks away from hiking and biking trails through Blackwater Creek or along the James River.  Our wrap around porch invites you to relax in a rocking chair, read a good book or just sit back and relax and enjoy the hospitality or enjoy the peace and tranquility found while relaxing on our back yard patio with fish pond and waterfall.  Each morning enjoy our legendary breakfast before visiting one of the many historic sites, cultural activities or the many outdoor activities.  For those wanting to be pampered our massage and body treatment studio is now open and offers a selection of massages and body treatments.
