About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome to Cozy Cottage: Relax. Explore. Retreat.

You'll love this cozy private studio cottage located in the beloved Rivermont Historic District. High ceilings, original hardwood floors, full kitchen, desk, Roku TV, & custom handmade headboard. The cottage is a street-level, separate studio (not a basement apartment) sitting behind a beautiful large historic home. 2 minutes to Randolph College, 3 minutes to our charming, historic downtown and 15 minutes from Liberty University. Travel nurses see the discounts for longer stays in pricing.

Welcome to the Cottage! Here's what you can expect:

KITCHEN: gas stove, oven, sink, table and chairs, microwave, pots/pans, dishware, 1 cup coffee maker, K-cup & ground coffee

MAIN ROOM: queen bed with custom made wooden headboard, 10 ft. ceilings, closet for hanging clothes and storage, full length mirror, Roku TV w/ Hulu live and logging into your Netflix account, desk and chair, small loveseat, & ceiling fan

BATHROOM: tub/shower combo, toilet, sink, towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner

CLIMATE CONTROL: An energy efficient ductless mini-split unit heats and cools the cottage. A remote allows you to control the temperature.

PARKING: We have room for 1-2 cars on the street directly in front of the cottage.

FRONT HOUSE: The cottage is attached to the back of a large historic colonial revival home which is also listed on Airbnb. It has its own private entrance and is not a basement apartment for greater privacy.

MOBILITY CONCERNS: The studio cottage is all on one level, but there are two small sets of stairs (4-5) to get into the entrance.

CHECK IN & CHECK OUT: You'll have a personal code to the keyless lock system to check in at your convenience anytime after 3pm. Checkout is before 11am.

LAUNDRY: Though a washer and dryer is not included in this listing, for longer stays we can provide access to shared laundry with the front house.

Cute Place!
This is a nicely decorated, comfortable and clean place to stay. I enjoyed the historical aspects- wooden floors, old doors, etc. It had everything you might need for a few days or longer. Easy communication with property manager. I would stay here again.

Cute Cottage!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Cozy Cottage. The place was located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood only a few minutes from downtown Lynchburg. This cottage is perfect for a single person or couple. During our stay, we experienced a few issues including the door code upon check-in, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a leaky AC unit. However, the host was communicative with prompt and helpful responses. The host even sent someone to reset the Wi-Fi router in the adjoining house. We’re grateful for our stay, and the Cozy Cottage was a nice home base during our vacation.

Very cozy and quiet
Cozy, clean, easy access (park 10 feet from the door), friendly neighborhood, no traffic noise. Pizza delivery found us easily. It has laundry facilities next door, but we didn't need to use them. We stayed several days during the HOT days of Summer and the A/C did just great - cool and quiet. Full size fridge and stove, dishes, silverware, etc all provided. The bathroom is small, but has a full-size tub with shower. It's all you need. There are a TON of amenities in the huge closet that we didn't need (iron, ironing board, hell, there was probably a MAID in there somewhere!) We are repeat customers.

Good spot for 2
Enjoyed our stay in the Rivermont area. No issues at all. Comfortable bed and everything was clean. For guest, There is some noise around at night depending on the traffic and loud speakers from cars and the toilet is not ideal for anyone over 6ft, it’s a little small. Spot is really ideal for anyone who plans to spend majority of their time downtown Lynchburg and was quick to get to LU as well.

Weekend at RC
Went to LYH to see my kid at RC and attend a ceremony and meeting on campus. It’s a 25 minute walk to campus from the cottage (I had a car but I also walked it a number of times). The cottage is adorable. It was perfect for me. It’s probably not great for someone very tall or large as the bathroom is a little snug. I needed to extend my stay by a night and the communication and organizing of that was excellent. I really appreciated being able to stay an extra day. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a nice place to stay for a weekend. My husband and I stayed there but were only there to sleep due to moving our son into an apartment. He will be attending medical school at Liberty University. It was great for a weekend stay.
