My husband and I stayed three nights at The Duchess and truly enjoyed every minute of it! It is a gem of a house, in the historic Diamond Hill district of Lynchburg--the home is beautifully restored and nicely decorated; every last detail has been well thought out and we appreciated the coffee bar with a multitude of coffee selections plus the snacks that had been left for us when we arrived. Booking, communication, and instructions were friendly and easy. Since we only needed one bedroom, we utilized the downstairs master bed, which was very comfortable and featured an en-suite bathroom with rain shower and spa-like shower amenities. Each morning and afternoon we walked the neighborhood, admiring the many quaint, historic homes. One day we walked to the Lynchburg Museum, which was interesting. The area is quiet and within walking distance of many restaurants in the restored buildings down the hill near the James River.
I whole-heartedly recommend staying at The Duchess and look forward to booking this home again in the future--next time, we hope to bring our family with us so that they too can enjoy this gem of a house in Lynchburg.
