    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...

    Train caboose was very cool and nicely done inside and out. The airbnb was comfy with heat and air and has everything you need for a nice stay. Enjoyed the appearance and the scenery at the location. Enjoyed the trails nearby very much. Dinner...

    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.

All aboard! Welcome to James Station, a train caboose overlooking the James River. -Watch the trains + factory below! -Large deck, Solo Stove fire pit, pollinator garden, & gas grill -Hammock swings + porch swing overlooking river -.1/2 mi walk to Blackwater Creek nature trails & downtown Lynchburg -Keurig + local coffee, fast wifi -Bathroom w/ rain head shower & Public Goods soaps -12 min to Liberty U & U of Lynchburg BD: queen bed, TV, noise machine, dresser, LED lights to illuminate ceiling in different colors, blackout blinds LIVING/DINING: loveseat + twin sleeper sofa, table/bar, clip-on hammock chairs KITCHEN: sink, fridge, toaster/convection oven, portable 2 burner cooktop, Keurig, french press BATH: shower, sink, towels + hairdryer DECK: outdoor dining, gas grill OUTSIDE: Fire pit w/ Solo Stove, swing, hammock PARKING: 3 cars HVAC: ductless heating & air POTENTIAL FOR NOISE: This industrial experience will NOT be for everyone, esp. those looking for total quiet. 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.
