Baby Goats and Donkeys! Cozy Timberlake Cottage 3 Miles 'To LU

Last time we visited our son in college we stayed at a hotel and my kids were bored. This was just what we wanted! Super close to Liberty and everything we needed, but had amazing atmosphere! The house was SUPER clean! We were greeted by goats (and little babies too)! My kids visited the goats several times a day and had a blast! Hosts were super sweet. They were nearby but we never felt like they were bothering us at all! We had complete privacy and enjoyed our stay very much! Will definitely stay here every time we visit!

Our family has been renting vacation homes for over a decade. This was the best experience we have ever had. Tim is great! He welcomed us with snacks and bottled water in the kitchen when we arrived. The puppies and goats are so fun! We also saw beautiful robins, deer, rabbits, and groundhogs! The beautiful cottage is clean and comfortable. It is located just a few minutes from Liberty University, restaurants, shopping, and downtown. We highly recommend trying LaCarretta Mexican restaurant. It's authentic and delicious. Kroger is just a couple minutes down the road. We look forward to many more stays at Timberlake as our son will be attending Liberty next year!

I absolutely loved this stay. The house was charming, not too big, not too small, super clean and organized, just what one would need. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and he was extremely kind and welcoming. The animals were in every way the highlight of my trip. The goats and dogs made me so very happy! The beds were super comfortable and roomy. The bathroom was sparkling clean and well decorated. Grocery, gas and restaurants very nearby. I would recommend this house to anyone!! I very much so intend to return as soon as we are able to.

The only things I would “warn” about .... the house is not in the country as perhaps one would assume. It is directly on a busy 4 lane divided highway. The only disadvantage of this is the noise and getting in and out. The owners have placed fans in each room that not only keep it cool and breezy, but also help to drown out the noise. It is what it is... Lynchburg grew around the house. Just don’t think you will be seeing stars at night and hearing crickets. The other is that the stairway is steep. The 2 beds are upstairs and only bath is downstairs. This would not be a negative for most, and it wasn’t for me. But it should be pointed out for those with mobility issues ... or small kids.

Overall I give this home a blazing 10 stars. The issues I mention are only meant to make future seekers aware of my experience and not at all meant to be a complaint! My stay was cut short due to a family emergency at home. I was almost as sad to leave as I was that the emergency happened. Thank you Tim!!! We hope you will welcome us back.

We really enjoyed Tim’s house and the goats and dogs were super fun! We would stay there again for sure!

We had a great time at the Timberlake Cottage! I was traveling to Lynchburg for a sporting event with my family. This cottage was easy to find, close to restaurants and Kroger, convenient to the sports facility, and a welcome change from a weekend in a hotel room. The kitchen was well-equipped, and made preparing our own healthy meals (instead of eating out) a pleasure. The overall decor and the furnishings were very nice-adding to the cozy feel. The beds and linens were top notch and comfortable.

It is located on a very busy road, which was a little surprising, but the backyard and surrounding property had a private feel. There are nice fans for white noise in each of the bedrooms, so traffic sounds were not an issue.

The owner was very easy to work with, responsive, and flexible with our unusual weekend schedule.

The goats and puppies were such a treat to visit with!

I would stay in this property again in a heartbeat, and have already recommended it to others.
