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.About pets:Pets allowed: dogs less than 50 lbs per pet (limit 2 pets total).About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 25.About events:No events allowed.

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.

Awesome House! We came to see my daughter who is a student at Liberty University. The house was adorable. The river in the back yard was an added plus! It is well stocked with games and toys for children. It was a great weekend for us!
