We were only here one night, but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Anne and Phil (innkeepers) are very nice and informative. It was very quiet. Breakfast was very good. There is lots to see in this house and I encourage you to snoop if you stay here! Downtown Lynchburg is a bit disappointing as it is run down and in the... more

The Federal Crest Inn is a beautifully restored historic home with several spacious common areas decorated in traditional antiques and a front porch with rockers to relax in. Their website has several pictures which present an accurate portrayal of the premises. The main staircase is grand but also quite large, which may be a hindrance for people who have difficulty... more

This is THE most awesome and beautiful place to stay if you are traveling thru the central Virginia area in Lynchburg or the surrounding area! Especially for parents and students visiting Liberty University. The Federal Crest Inn is simply magnificent with historical downtown Lynchburg just down the hill! The accommodations and hospitality are tops with a gourmet breakfast every morning.... more

We celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary at Federal Crest, and it was our very first b&b experience. Ann and Phil were perfect hosts, the home is absolutely gorgeous, the breakfasts were amazing and the tables were exquisitely laid. Federal Crest certainly set the bar extremely high for us in finding comparable B&B's to visit. My husband, who never really liked... more

Aside from the beautiful house and rooms, breakfast was the best I've ever had at a B&B. I had heard about this place from a family member, and she was right on target about how lovely a... more

If you're interested in a weekend of southern hospitality in a beautifully restored turn-of-the-century mansion, this is the place to choose. We spent a weekend at the Inn while on an extended tour of Virginia. After staying in a series of hotel rooms, we welcomed the opportunity to be in a more home-like setting. We couldn't have been more pleased!... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our brief visit to Lynchburg and our night at Federal Crest Inn...conveniently located downtown, just a few blocks from shopping and restaurants. The Inn is roomy, tastefully decorated, and inviting. Ann and Phil Ripley make perfect hosts...we were given the "Cook's Tour" upon arrival. Our room, the Dogwood, was very comfortable, complete with canopy bed and fireplace.... more

We booked the property having seen only their website, and were planning to use it as nothing more than a home base for our visit to Lynchburg. Once we checked in, that changed! We loved that the innkeeper, Ann, welcomed us at the door with cookies and hot cocoa, showed us to our room-where the fire was ready and waiting-... more

We returned from our trip to Virginia last week staying at various Inns and hotels during our three week stay.

Our rooms were beautifully decorated and with many personal touches including paintings from Ann the owner. Guests ate breakfast together... more
