    I can not express how beautiful and serene the space is. From the parking, to the location, and the caboose itself. It was more than picturesque. I had an issue with the breaker tripping and the hostess immediately returned my text and was so...

    The furnishings, appliances, shower, location, and view were outstanding. The outdoor patio area was lovely and we hope to come back in better weather to sit outside and enjoy the river view. Our train loving son thought this was the coolest place...

    The caboose was fitted out with great care and detail - making the most of its original features but also thinking of the comfort and convenience for guests. Location was great - high above the river and just a short walk into town.

You'll hear sounds of trains, forklifts beeping, etc. The factory works 24 hrs. We live nearby and are not usually bothered by it. There's sound-proofing + double layers of insulation around the bedroom.
I'm a musician (violin) and a teacher by trade, but a few years ago my husband, Marc, and I left 17 years of campus ministry to enter the world of entrepreneurship! We've got a unique family and don't often feel like we "fit in" and so it's created a passion in us to create inviting spaces where anyone can belong. We own properties of our own & co-host for others who have joined the All Belong Collective. If you need help finding a great place to stay, chances are we can help! When you choose one of our All Belong Co stays, we want everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from, to feel welcome. Follow us at All Belong Co and let's connect!
James Station sits atop Daniel's Hill: 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.
