This Airbnb is located within a half-mile walk to Blackwater Creek, nature trails, and downtown Lynchburg dining and entertainment.
This home may not be for light sleepers, though, according to its owner:
"This industrial experience will NOT be for everyone, especially those looking for total quiet. You will hear the sounds of trains going by, construction forklifts beeping, etc. The factory works through the night. ... The caboose has sound-proofing and double layers of insulation around the bedroom area, and we provide a white noise machine and portable fan for your added comfort."
The home has received rave reviews, averaging 4.96 stars out of 232 reviews.
Airbnb said that its data shows that trips booked less than a week before travel have been the fastest-growing segment over the last three years, with many of those being nearby excursions.
And many of those are unique homes in fabulous natural settings, like the Spectacular Spyglass Treehouse in Occidental, California, and the Eagles Nest Treehouse in Wardensville, West Virginia. Homes with fascinating architecture are also featured, like Still Bend/Frank Lloyd Wright's Schwartz House in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
