    This is the place to stay to celebrate, reconnect, relax and enjoy. The Watts House has been lovingly restored to its original grandeur by the innkeepers from 2003-2007. After the Civil War RT Watts, a hardware store owner built his home in what is now the historic district known as Daniels Hill. Today, guests can enjoy the same bath tubs, a couple of the same bathroom sinks, many of the original light fixtures, mantels, moldings and much more that were installed when the home was built for RT and his family. Very little has been changed in this home due to the nature of its construction, i.e., both the interior and exterior walls are three courses of brick thick. This is why when you visit The Carriage House Inn you experience the past as if it was yesterday.

    Great Valentine's getaway

    March 12, 2013

    We saw a package on line and booked it and it was the best Valentines treat I have ever had. The massage melted all the tension I had from a high stress job. The rooms were comfortable and for the first time in months I got a great night's sleep. The food was fantastic. Mike made chocolate waffles and the were the best. This would be a great place to visit and just chill out and relax. There were lots of things to do but we pretty much just went there to relax. They don't take small children which was a big plus for us.

    Innkeepers Description:

    Buying and restoring an old house had always been a life long goal & when we found this house we jumped at the opportunity to do so. Almost 5 years later we opened the house as a Bed and Breakfast so that we could share this beautiful home with others. While there will always be projects around the house & grounds, Kathy keeps busy with her stained & fused glass and Mike is an avid photographer.

    BEAUTIFUL LYNCHBURG VICTORIAN B & B

    October 10, 2012

    Perfect weekend get-away in Lynchburg, VA, staying at the beautiful Carriage House Inn Bed & Breakfast. The innkeepers were so welcoming and the rooms were comfortable and had nice amenities. The breakfasts were gourmet delights both mornings. A super way to spend my birthday weekend with my daughters. JFD, EASTON, MD

    Carriage House Bed and Breakfast is a pleasure

    October 10, 2012

    We loved the location of the Carriage House Bed and Breakfast. A morning stroll to Point of Honor was lovely and we could ride our bikes right down the street and connect to miles of awesome bike paths. We are foodies who don't have time to cook as much as we like so the delicious breakfasts were enjoyable. Thanks Kathy and Mike for the hospitality and the chance to wind down on the beautiful veranda...can't wait to come back for a family reunion!

    The Carriage House, Lynchburg, VA

    October 03, 2012

    I recently spent four days and three nights at The Carriage House. Kathy and Mike could not be more accomodating, and their place is just gorgeous. My room was spacious, beatifully decorated, had shades that blackened the room and the most comfortable bed I've every slept in. I would have slept in every day, but reluctantly got up to enjoy their indescribabily and creative breakfast served every day at 9 in the beautiful dining room. I will definitely be coming back over the years that my daughter is at Randolph College, and plan to have her graduation party there, as well. Loved my stay!!

    A B&B Treasure in Lynchburg, VA

    September 27, 2012

    The Carriage House is a gem with great character and historical appeal. The house is being meticulously restored to its original splendor - with high ceilings, restored woodwork and furniture period pieces to match. And if that isn't enough, the proprietors, Kathy and Mike are the perfect hosts, focused on making your B&B experience relaxing and rewarding. We stayed two days and our two breakfasts were truly outstanding - Kathy and Mike have the culinary experience down to an art form. Lynchburg is a perfect location for any Civil War buff; and the two restaurants we tried were very, very good. This B&B is well worth the trip!
