Welcome to the Carriage House Inn

The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast, an award-winning Lynchburg VA bed and breakfast, is located within walking distance to historic downtown.  Situated in the Daniels Hill Historic District, the inn has the distinction of being the first certified "Green" lodgingfacility 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 Bedsworthduring their 4 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. 

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 1800's with some "modern" updates such as shower enclosures in the baths, central air and heat and Wi-fi.

Our circa 1910 Carriage House, renovated 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 we've created a meeting and event venue.

Our guests love to explore the area, and there is so much to see and do that many of our guests make return trips.  However, the best reason, by far, 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 and a host of historical sites and outdoor activities to keep you occupied.

The Inn is 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 to read a good book.  Or just sit back and enjoy the hospitality, the peace, and tranquility found while relaxing on our backyard 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. 

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

Thinking about visiting the civil war sites, we are an inviting alternative to an Appomattox hotel.
