The Federal Crest Inn, built in 1909, is an elegant Georgian Revival home providing bed and breakfast lodging in Lynchburg in Central Virginia.

As one strolls through the home, you will see examples of the structure's original charms in its magnificent woodwork and classical columns that lead to the grand central staircase. Unique mantels grace all seven fireplaces found in the parlour, library, dining room, and bedrooms. A delightful departure from the eighteenth-century, the "50's Cafe" off the dining room delights guests as well as gives the opportunity to tour the third floor, where the original owner constructed a stage for his children to give plays.

During your stay, innkeepers Ann and Phil will treat you like royalty. Refreshments upon arrival, night beverages, bedroom snack baskets, and many more amenities will make your stay at the Federal Crest as pleasant as possible. Choose one of the inn's beautiful bedrooms and snuggle up in the cozy down comforter or sit and read by your own private, romantic fireplace. All accommodations on the second floor include queen-size beds and private baths. Other country inn amenities include central air, bedroom gas log fireplaces, telephones, cable television, free wireless Internet connection, clock radios, reading materials and good lamps, comfortable chairs, luxury linens and robes, complimentary toiletries, and a Jacuzzi.

In the morning, you may enjoy early morning coffee and juices and dine on a hot, satisfying Federal Crest breakfast. Enjoy soft candlelight and music with fine crystal, silver, and china, as your morning meal is considered special at this inn. After breakfast, choose a remembrance from the Cafe Gift Shop, play the jukebox at the Fifties Cafe, or visit the third-floor Eagles Nest Theater to watch a special event on the large 60-inch television.

Enjoy the history and serenity of Central Virginia at the Federal Crest Inn Bed and Breakfast, one of Lynchburg's finest.

The green, rolling land around the town makes it obvious why this is Virginia's "Hill City," as the town has been dubbed. Visit any of the area's plentiful historic Civil War sties, including the town of Appomattox, where the war ended. There are also numerous museums and cemeteries. Jefferson's Poplar Forest is nearby, as well as many Virginia wineries and opportunities for antiquing and playing golf.

Take in a Lynchburg Hillcats baseball game or explore one of the city's many annual festivals. The Blue Ridge Mountains run through this area, with the breathtaking Blue Ridge Parkway. And an hour to the west is Roanoke, with its City Market, Center in the Square, "Miniature Graceland," and Mill Mountain, with its city zoo and 100-foot-tall star that lights up the night.
