Summary: Fairview was the most beautiful and "enchanting" as my friend kept describing it place to stay for our weekend in Lynchburg. After the chaos of the wedding weekend, having such a peaceful retreat to come back to was truly a blessing. The brides mother came from Vietnam and had been having trouble sleeping in the US and said she was finally able to get a good night's sleep at Fairview due to how peaceful it is there. We would ask love to stay again!

Summary: The main house is gorgeous historic house with beautiful floors and chandeliers in every room! The mountain view is spectacular! Peacocks roam the property and horses are friendly. The main house is a bit rustic and could use some TLC, but full of history and charm! The owner was responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. The only improvement we would suggest is to make it clearer in the listing that there are three rental houses on the property, so the amenities listed (hot tub and fire pit) are shared with the guests of the other houses and the hot tub is at the front door of the smallest rental space. We were not aware of this until the day before we arrived to check in. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would come back!

Summary: I stayed at this lovely property during a work conference with coworkers. It was wonderful to come back after work and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The house was spectacular and had great space for all of us to have our own bathroom and the ability to have quiet time. Only concern was it is actually about 25 minutes to Sweet Briar and not 6 as advertised. Also, its advertised as dog friendly for up to 2 dogs and I was charged a fee for each one. Would suggest adding that too. All in all it was a great experience.

Summary: Last minute stay for a family funeral. Worked for our needs. Rooms were nice & beds comfortable. Some of the furniture in living area could use an upgrade. Everything was usable. The fridge has no shelves on the door & missing some in the freezer as well. Limited on space for groceries if staying longer. Note that it is not as close to anything as the description & map implies (not an 8 minute walk to McDonalds). I liked the peacocks that wandered and the other animals. This house is a historical house. Would love to have known the history of it.

Summary: My group of 6 men stayed here for a weekend while we were in town for a Men’s conference at Liberty. Each guy had his own bedroom, large bed, and private bathroom, which suited us very well. The guys loved the quiet location, rolling hills, farm animals, and quirky peacocks. This 150+ year old house with a rocking-chair-porch that faces the mountains was the perfect stay for us—we’ll be back!!

Summary: Jennifer, our host, was very accommodating. The house was as presented on the website. The kitchen had everything we needed. Unfortunately the weather was very cold so we did not take much advantage of the area.

Summary: The house and property are beautiful. There are horses and peacocks. The furniture and beds are both beautiful and comfortable. It was the perfect space for our family. The location of the house is about 20 outside of Amherst, VA. The map on the VRBO site shows the house in town which is incorrect. The weather was very cold during our visit, and some of us were cold during our stay. This is quite common for old houses. The property owner was very helpful and communicative. We were sad to have to leave early to avoid a winter storm. All of us agreed we would go back, maybe in the Spring or Fall.

Summary: Nothing like gathering the family in an out-of-the-way Italinate farmhouse with peacocks! Kitchen well equipped. Decor over the top. Super comfy bedrooms. Handful of glitches: no ramps for wheelchair accessibility; buffering annoying on single sports TV channel; glitchy gas fireplace logs.
