Started off with the owner meeting us and helping us with our bags. She was always there for breakfast (fresh eggs from their chickens) and anytime we needed her. A wonderful place. Incredible breakfast and service. Theyalso have a wonderful covered porch and the location is awesome especially if you’d like to visit historical areas. We have stayed at various hotels in Lynchburg over the last three years but would come here every single time now that we know about it.
