This home can be rented as the entire 4 BR/2 BA home or as two separate 2 bedroom/1 bathroom apartments. This listing is dedicated to the whole house. See our other listings for the "upper" & "lower" apartments.

ABOUT THE HOME

When we purchased this home in 2017 it was completely updated with fresh paint, new flooring, new carpeting, and new updated bathrooms.

Additionally, we furnished the home with all new furniture, bedding, linens, TVs, and the kitchen equipped with new dishes, glassware, cookware, small appliances.

As soon as you enter the home you'll find yourself in the open living, dining and kitchen area. Beautiful new hardwood floors, granite countertops, lots of cabinet space in the kitchen are just the beginning of the amenities you will find in this home.

Upstairs in the living room you'll find comfortable seating and a large 40" HD flat screen TV. The dining table seats eight people.

Located on the main floor is the spacious master bedroom. Quality linens and bedding grace the king-sized bed. There is a walk-in closet and a beautifully done en suite bathroom. The large vanity offers two sinks with granite countertops for your convenience.

Across the hall is bedroom #2 which has another king-sized bed. This bedroom shares the bathroom on this floor with the master bedroom.

Downstairs are two more bedrooms and another full-sized bathroom. One of the bedrooms has a king-sized bed; the other bedroom has two twin sized beds.

Your group will enjoy relaxing and hanging out in the spacious "Liberty University" themed family room (or "rec room") downstairs which is equipped with a 55" HD flat-screen TV and Blu-Ray DVD player and video library.

NOTE: Both TVs in the house are equipped with Roku live TV channels and streaming capabilities. You can either sign into your own premium streaming services using the apps on the TV (such as Netflix, Hulu or Prime Video) or stream content from your mobile devices. (Cable TV channels are not provided.)

A full-sized washer & dryer are located on the downstairs level.

This home offers 2 outdoor spaces. Just off the kitchen you'll find a spacious screened porch, equipped with a table & benches for outdoor dining. Enjoy a meal al fresco at the picnic table or a cup of coffee or glass of wine while relaxing on this charming porch. On the ground level in the shade of the upper deck is an old-fashioned porch swing where you can relax in the quiet atmosphere of this pastoral setting.

NOTE: The house does not have an outdoor grill.

YOUR HEALTH IS OUR CONCERN

Our home is thoroughly cleaned after each guest. Our housekeeping service uses CDC approved antibacterial cleansing agents and focuses on frequently touched surfaces such as tables, doorknobs, deadbolts, remote controls, light switches, countertops, handles, toilets, faucets, sinks, etc.

Additionally our home has been equipped with a REME HALO® whole home in-duct air purifier, which according to the manufacturer "is the next generation of indoor air quality (IAQ) technology and capable of purifying every cubic inch of air that your central air conditioning system reaches. Thoroughly tested on airborne and surface bacteria & viruses, such as MRSA, e-coli, and Norwalk, to name a few."

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

We bought our "Candlers Mountain Retreat" because of its VERY CLOSE proximity to Liberty University, just 4 minutes away down Candlers Mountain Road! We knew that families and people coming to Lynchburg to attend events at the University or visit students at the University would be our target audience and welcome guests so a close location was the main objective during our property search. This property was the closest home to LU on the market and we are very excited to be able to offer this conveniently located property as a temporary "home away from home" for our guests.

This spacious 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom charming home is unique in the Lynchburg vacation rental market. There is not another large home such as this located in the Lynchburg/Rustburg area and this close to Liberty. Don't miss your chance to become one of the first guests at Candlers Mountain Retreat.

Excellent!

Our two night stay was a family affair for an event at Liberty University. To have four rooms ( 3 king size beds) and two full baths was awesome. The house had everything needed to entertain guests. The kichen was well stocked with supplies, the house was clean and and the property well manicured. It had a great indoor and outdoor space.5 stars for sure.....

Wonderful weekend getaway!!

Our family of 6 stayed at Valerie's home and it was perfect! We have lived in Lynchburg before and wanted to visit but did not want to stay in a hotel. This house has been completely updated and felt just like home! Valerie was very easy and friendly to work with and responds quickly. My daughter loved the horses that roam nearby the most! This location is a perfect getaway and yet just minutes away from Lynchburg. I would highly recommend this home if you need a place to stay!

Great house/apartment close to Lynchburg....

We rented the upstairs apartment for 4 nights. The apartment was really well appointed and everything is new and in good condition and good working order. Plenty of plates/cooking utensils etc if you want to prepare your own food, which we did some of the time. All very good quality. Valerie was very helpful and provided good information prior to arrival and helped with our self inflicted problems getting into the apartment the first evening we arrived - thank you Valerie! The location is peaceful and the surrounding properties really quiet. Deer wondering around in the morning and generally very bucolic. We liked that. And downtown Lynchburg (10-15 min) and surrounding areas are readily accessible. Another group had rented the downstairs apartment and they were a little noisy and the sound travelled upstairs rather easily, but this was a minor issue as they quieted down reasonably early. This would not even be an issue if you rented the whole house! The landscaping/garden is basic but very well kept (basically grass), and that is perhaps a personal preference. Definitely would stay again and really did enjoy the experience of staying at Candlers Mountain Retreat. Thank you Valerie and Redgie!

About the host

Hosted by Rogers Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
We are Redgie & Valerie and live in the beautiful state of Colorado! We love to travel and experience new adventures as often as possible. Valerie has been involved in the vacation rental industry since 2002 (a former employee/Manager at VRBO/Homeaway until she retired in 2013.)

We bought our first vacation rental property in Summit County, CO (which we have subsequently sold) and have owned condos on lovely Okaloosa Island in FL since 2014! Our next vacation rental purchase was a home in Lynchburg, VA and our most recent purchase is in sunny San Diego. We have loved sharing our homes with our guests over the years.

Why they chose this property

We loved the house's close proximity to our alma mater, Liberty University...In just 4 minutes you can be on campus enjoying a thrilling football game, a baseball game on a sunny afternoon, convocation services with world-renown guest speakers and outstanding music or first-class theatrical productions by the drama department. There is so much going on at Liberty University that we know our guests will love being so close to all of the action!

What makes this property unique

Quiet, pastoral setting in a quiet cul-de-sac community. Large home that has been totally updated and furnished with brand new furniture, bedding, linens, and everything else you'll need to enjoy your stay.
