We were a family of 12 and were able to prepare our meals and all sit at a truly work of art dining table. We built a fire in the fire pit out back and played a game in the backyard. The hosts were very responsive Our Granddaughter is a Junior at Randolph so we will be back. Lynchburg is a beautiful town. ##### Sherry F.

We decided to stay together at the Colonial Gem rather than booking individual hotel rooms. This home was exactly what we needed! Very well appointed with all of the comforts of home. We were able to enjoy meals together at the large dining table, soak in the crisp fall weather by the fire pit, and hike the rivers edge in the park across the street. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will consider this home again for our trips to Lynchburg! Thank you! ##### Carleigh B.

The home was exactly as pictured. The beds were incredibly comfortable, my entire family said the same! I love the little thoughtful touches in the home (ear plugs, coffee, make up wipes etc). The home’s location was centrally located to everything we wanted to visit. We felt very safe, went on about a 3 mile walk most mornings. There’s a great park right across from the house! The entire basement is its own little home. My husband and I enjoyed staying down there while we sent all of our kids upstairs to the main rooms. It was nice to have the privacy we needed to relax. I appreciated the weights in the little gym area in the base meant, I was able to get in a sufficient workout. Communication with the property manager was quick and efficient. We’d be so lucky to stay in this home again, it was a real gem! ##### Megan T.

We had grandparents, parents and siblings comfortably together with space for everyone. Enjoyed coffee on the deck and walking at the park across the street in our downtime.

We had a group of friends driving in from Michigan to drop off students at LU. The house worked out great and was close enough to campus that it made the transition really easy! ##### Philip K.

Absolutely loved our 3-Night stay in this amazing little house. Just don't mind the grumpy old man next door. Everything was super clean and just as we pictured. Check out was a little early, and that hurt a bit for the non early-birds, but otherwise I would certainly come back. It wasn't until Day 2 that we found the coffee in the basement (our friends that stayed down there failed to mention it to us--LOL). So, lock that down first thing when you arrive. Thanks for having us! ##### Andrea W.

Such a fantastic house in a great location, close to downtown and restaurants. The house was perfect for our group of college friends and our annual reconnect weekend. Well-stocked with the basics, comfortable beds and appeared to be professionally decorated…what more could you ask for? Highly recommend and would absolutely stay here again. ##### Laura M.
