  • Inn Details

    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.

    Innkeeper Information

    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.

    We chose to get married at The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast, in Lynchburg, Virginia and were we ever pleased! Since we were inviting only our parents and a few friends the wedding package “Wedding for a Few” was perfect for us, both for our budget and for our numbers. We arranged the entire event over the phone and through email, with stunning results. We added additional room nights for our guests, so Kathy & Mike upgraded us to a suite in the carriage house (so we could have some privacy.) Everything we wanted was included: a gorgeous bouquet and boutonniere, a small tiered wedding cake, the celebrant was recommended, sparkling wine for our toast, and a wonderful, personalized ceremony in the parlor. Mike even surprised us with a CD of pictures taken throughout the afternoon. A wedding day luncheon was requested and served in the dining room: yummy salad, bread and shrimp scampi with penne—I didn’t want spaghetti or red sauce so as not to stain my dress! The perfect way to share our special day with those we love, save some money and start our future off on the right foot. We’ll even be back to celebrate our anniversary as Kathy & Mike offer rooms at a special rate if you get married at the Carriage House Inn.

    Beautiful renovation

    Kathy and Mike have done a wonderful job in restoring this beautiful home. They have thought of every detail for the guests and obviously have a lot of love and pride for this home. They were most gracious hosts and provided us with a scrumptious breakfast and a great recommendation for dinner the night before.

    Hi, We are Bob, Ronda and Megan Stanley from Indiana. We have friends in Lynchburg, VA and wanted to travel there to visit them. We have visited them before and always stayed in a local hotel. Three months ago, Megan, our granddaughter, came to live with us and we wanted to give her a trip of her lifetime. Mike and Kathy's Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast more than forfilled our hopes for her happiness. The Inn's main house overwhelmed her on our arrival and when Mike took us up to our room in the Carriage House, she began to tear up and hugged us both, thanking us for a "perfect gift". The entire stay was fantastic. The food was awsome. We could not have asked for nicer host and hostest and we will stay there again. We give them an A++

    Kathy and Mike were very welcoming when we arrived at the Carriage Inn Bed and Breakfast. The house was beautiful and the breakfast was as they say legendary.

    Cathy and Mike are terrific hosts and they have lovingly restored a gem of a home. We were fortunate to get a full tour of the property from Mike and my husband and I were truly overwhelmed by the amount of work they have done. This is a "must stay at" b and b. Cathy is a great cook and she and Mike were generous of their time with us during our recent Sept. trip. Many thanks, we so enjoyed the time we spent in your wonderful home! Judy and Frank
