The Property

Ivy Creek Farm Bed and Breakfast is situated on 8 private wooded acres within the city of Lynchburg. It is just five minutes from colleges, shopping, restaurants, hospitals, and country clubs and fifteen minutes from the downtown historic Lynchburg, VA. With beginnings as an early, simple farmhouse, this lovingly expanded and restored structure has been home to a number of distinguished citizens of the city.

Surrounded by gardens, lawns, and trees, the setting belies its convenient location. Deer, birds and other wild life abound. The pond and old farm dependencies- red barn, smoke house, and springhouse, add charm and character to the peaceful and gracious experience.

The home has experienced many changes over the years, including the addition of the indoor heated swimming pool, lap lane, and spa that is open for our guests.

The exterior is framed with stately old English Boxwood, frontal columns and gable roof lines. Inside are plaster walls, heart pine floors, fireplaces and a turret that once housed the "dumb waiter" from the old basement kitchen.

Public rooms and bedrooms are furnished with antiques and period furnishings and floors are graced with Oriental carpets. The front parlor and the library, each with a fireplace, are comfortable places for you to lounge and listen to music, connect wirelessly to the Internet, read or socialize. They are also large enough for small family gatherings.

Antique pewter and porcelain decorations adorn the dining room, which serves as the center hub of the house. Breakfast in front of the fireplace is casual and inviting.

The distinctive swimming pool room, with its brick floor, redwood ceiling beams and Palladian windows, opens onto spacious verandas with wonderful views of the woods, pond and old farm dependencies.

There is even a full-size softball field!
