I was struck by the sheer beauty and detail that was put into this beautiful Bed & Breakfast. Our hosts Phil and Ann Ripley went all out to ensure that we had everything that we needed and we dined for breakfast as if we were royalty. Thank you for remembering all of the details and making us feel like family!... More

One of the best Bed & Breakfast Inns in America. The hosts, Phil & Ann, were so welcoming to their gorgeous inn. We stayed in the Magnolia room which was delightful and decorated beautifully. The breakfasts were so delicious and we enjoyed meeting other guests. The inn is in the historical district of Lynchburg and it is a great location... More

I stayed at the Federal Crest Inn while passing through alone on a road trip. Everything about my trip was fantastic from my greeting to my amazing breakfast in the morning. I happened to be the only guest there that night and enjoyed a relaxing cup of tea on the veranda when I arrived. Ann (one of the owners) was... More

Stayed four nights in this BEAUTIFUL Bed and Breakfast. The home sits on one of the many hills in Lynchburg, just a short drive away, or walk if you wish, from historic downtown Lynchburg. The house is grand and beautiful from the outside, very nice yard. Our host were Phil and Ann, the nicest and hospitable people you will meet.... More

I travel quite often and have seen many hotels domestically and internationally and none of them have felt like home. Whenever I travel to Lynchburg, VA I always stay at the Federal Crest Inn because it does feel like a home away from home. Ann and Phil are not only two of the best hosts you’ll find these days, but... More

Being a well seasoned business traveler and creature of habit, I almost always stay at a Marriott property. I was not able to stay at one on this trip and was a little leery of a B&B. I am now convinced that the only place to stay in Lynchburg is the Federal Crest B&B. The Ripley's are as gracious as... More

Thank you Ann and Phil Ripley for a wonderful experience. My husband and I came here for our 21st wedding anniversary. Federal Crest Inn is beautiful. The Christmas tree and decorations take your breath away! Our room was perfect and it was quiet. Warm and toasty with gas logs in our room. Ann and Phil were gracious hosts and our... More

My husband and I decided at the last minute to have a small wedding just for the two of us at the Federal Crest. Ann and Phil were both accommodating, and very friendly. The home is absolutely beautiful! We stayed the weekend in the Willow bedroom and we loved the cozy fireplace! Breakfast was amazing each morning and their little... More

We celebrated our 25 wedding anniversary here. Having never been to a bed-and- breakfast before, this was a very good experience. The inn is clean and uniquely decorated. Each room was an adventure unto itself with its own decorations yet tastefully done. Phil and Ann greeted us as guests but we came away as friends. We have recommended Federal Crest... More

So many times in recent years we've stayed in B&Bs where we felt between the hospitality of the hosts and the breakfast served, we we could have had better at a nice hotel for less. This was not the case at the Federal Crest Inn. The Federal Crest Inn takes us back to our first experiences staying in B&Bs and... More
