Things To Do
The Water Dog
Relive our second date at the Water Dog. With great food and indoor and outdoor seating (plus great dog watching) it's one of our favorite resturants.
Palmera House
Swing by Palmera House for a morning coffee or a glass of wine in a beautifully curated shop full of trinkets and games.
Percival's Island Trail
Looking for a short walk near downtown Lynchburg? Take a walk on Percival's Island Trail, a 1.5 mile trail along the James River.
Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest
Forest wasn't just Gracyn's hometown but also Thomas Jefferson's summer home. Take a tour of the house or walk around on the 2.2 miles of trails. For our golfers, check out the Poplar Forest Golf Course along the trail.
The Bluffwalk
Take a walk down The Bluffwalk, a walkway that leads you to restaurants with outdoor dining opportunities, public art displays, shops, and fantastic views.
Peaks of Otter Hiking
Want to get the true Blue Ridge Mountain experience? Just 45 minutes from Downtown Lynchburg sits the Peaks of Otter, where you can soak in the mountains. If you're looking for a short and steep hike (1.5 miles to the summit), try Sharp Top Mountain and experience the fall foliage up close and personal.
Layman Family Farms
Many pumpkin patch dates have been had here and we hope you can experience the same joy that this pumpkin patch has brought us over the years. Just in time for peak foliage!
