It's hard to find a more prime location than this private downtown loft. It's rumored that Thomas Jefferson even stayed here. Loaded with the beautiful, historic charm of brick walls, high ceilings, and hardwood floors, this space has all the new modern amenities you desire. Located on the corner of 12th and Main Street across from the community market, it is in the center of everything downtown with river views and steps away from dining, shopping and walking trails

The space
This historic loft used to be home to “Cross Keys Tavern." The building was originally constructed in 1804, with additions made in 1890, as a restaurant with lodging. It had been set to be torn down in the 1960's, but was saved as it is one of the oldest and most historic buildings in Downtown Lynchburg. The building was again slated for demolition in the early 1990s when current owners bought and historically renovated it.

This open concept, second floor historic space includes a comfortable living area with a sleeper sofa, recliner and accent chair, large screen TV w/ Roku, and lots of natural light.

Guests can park in our designated parking space #11( check the pictures) and then explore downtown and walk to restaurants.

Tucked away in a closet just off the kitchen is the laundry room. Detergent is provided for guests who would like to do laundry during their stay.

Sitting in front of beautiful historic brick on the back wall of the loft is the luxurious queen bed with layers and layers of bedding you can get lost in. Next to the bed is a sound machine for our light sleepers.

Neighborhood highlights

Cross Keys Loft is located in the heart of our charming, historic, small-city downtown. It sits atop some small businesses like a spa and a great coffee shop called the White Hart. Being across the street from the community market and other restaurants and shopping makes it a prime location, and walkable to just about anywhere downtown. Catch a show or concert and walk "home," enjoy a walk or bike ride on the Black Water Creek paved trail system, shop, and explore downtown, or just enjoy the loft as a home base while you're visiting in the area.
