Grandma’s House

Literally felt like I was walking into my childhood. It is a small older home, nicely and thoughtfully decorated. Furnished with everything we needed for our stay. No issues checking in. Adequate driveway parking. We visited the Virginia Safari, Natural Bridge Park, Natty Bs Cafe, and walked across the James River walking bridge. All are within a 30min drive. Also went into Lynchburg for dinner to Mi Patron. Excellent spot for dinner and again about a 30min drive. Paul was a great host. Very responsive. My only complaint is that my Grandma wasn’t waiting inside.
