WHY MAKE A VRBO IN HONOR OF MLK JR?

There's so many reasons but ultimately, without his achievements, our own family wouldn’t exist. So we've collaborated with black artists and creatives in order to bring this historic home (and passion project) to our community.

We hope you’ll find the MLK Dream Home a place where you belong!

In a word.. perfect!
We were in town to attend a wedding in which our son was serving as best man. We've never been to Lynchburg and we now hope to return. We can say absolutely nothing negative about this experience; the home, the location, or our hostesses! The property was clean, spacious, well organized and well decorated, beautiful, in a fantastic area, and the beds were very comfortable! There was only one thing that I needed to communicate on briefly, and I received a response within minutes. We had plenty of downtime and the area was not only beautiful, but the nearby shops and eateries were fantastic. We would definitely rent this property again!

Stunning house but no bedroom locks
We loved this house! The bedrooms were incredible and the house was cozy. The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is none of the doors inside have locks and one of the bedroom doors didn’t latch at all. Outside of that it was an incredible house.

I love this house!
I must have repeated the phrase "I love this house!" 100 times. The historic home is absolutely impeccable. The attention to detail, right down the the MLK quotes on the coffee mugs was impressive. The kitchen was fully stocked with dinnerware, plates, bowls and utensils a plenty. There was even pyrex dishes for baking and tupperware for storage. The living room was comfortable and nicely decorated. The dining room had an extra large table that would easily seat a large extended family. Upstairs the bedrooms were lovely! Bonus- each had its own ceiling fan and AC control! The beds were very comfortable and were made with crisp sheets and plenty of pillows and blankets. In addition to the large comfy king beds, there were stylish day beds as well that blended with the decor seamlessly. The attention to detail carried through to both bathrooms which contained lovely touches of history including penny tile, wide planked flooring and a claw foot tub for soaking. Soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion were also provided as well as make-up remover wipes and wash clothes. Plenty of towels were provided as well. The restoration and preservation of the historical elements of the home combined with modern comforts made this one of my most favorite places to stay! I would highly recommend!

Great Location
The location is excellent and very walkable. The house was very well appointed and equipped. Only real complaint was the street noise and maybe because we are used to the constant road and traffic noise all night. If you are a sound sleeper, no problem.

Charm in the heart of Lynchburg
Absolutely great property that I would highly recommend. The house has a ton of charm, style and decor that makes you feel like a home away from home. The house has plenty of space to spread out, enjoy relaxing, dining, and hanging together. The house is the most stocked house I've ever stayed in for a kitchen and appliances, with a great selection and supply of linens, towels, and bathroom supplies. Highly recommend the place, they've done an excellent job with the house.

Summer in Virginia
My husband, daughter and I had a lovely weeklong stay as we explored west central Virginia. The house had everything we needed (plus a wonderful donut shop across the street). We walked to downtown Lynchburg several times, and enjoyed daytrips to Roanoke, Smith Mountain Lake, Lexington and Staunton.

Pool Tournament in Lynchburg
We stayed at “The Dream” for four nights and it was stunning. Beautifully appointed, clean, decorated and inspiring. The focus around Dr. King and his beautiful words of hope and love that surrounded our stay were remarkable. The historic home was gorgeous and fascinating to see! I would highly recommend this property to those looking for inspiration and beauty. The only recommendation I would have is to bring ear plugs as it is located on a busy intersection and it was difficult to sleep. The location is good it was just a little loud for those of us used to a more rural/suburban setting. Thank you to the hosts and company! Gorgeous home!

"Dream" Home Away From Home
Our stay at the "Dream" house in downtown Lynchburg was a true home away from home. The amount of thought and detail that was put into the decor, and the upscale selection of bed, bath, and kitchen essentials made our stay even more comfortable. My one year old son loved walking the spacious downstairs going in and out of each of the rooms. We loved how much care was put into preserving the history of the structure while also providing updated and tasteful finishes. We will most definitely stay here again!

Beautiful House, Great Location
This is an absolutely beautiful house, the way it was renovated kept so much of the character of the home, while also making you feel like you are staying in a fancy hotel. The location is perfect, we walked to all of the restaurants and downtown shops because they are only blocks away. Easy parking. And the host was always very quick in communication with any questions we had. We plan to stay here again the next time we visit Lynchburg.

Excellent Home!
The home is beautiful, one of the best I've ever stayed in! It had everything we needed to feel right at home. The beds were quality and comfortable, the bathrooms were clean and supplied with plenty of clean, quality towels. All over the home and it's decor was beautiful (LOVED the dining room table). And the location was excellent. Highly recommend this home! We will definitely book it again.
