Amayas Way Apartments for Rent

The Amayas Way community is located just off of Bon Ton Road and Boonsboro Road in Lynchburg, Virginia, a few miles outside of Roanoke. Pet lovers in the neighborhood will love taking their furry family members to Fur Kidz, a pet boutique that specializes in unique and upscale pet items. Owned and operated by a local mother and daughter with five canine companions of their own, the store opened in 2008 with the goal of helping residents and guests find unique gifts for their pets without breaking the bank. The store carries a range of items from one-of-a-kind dog outfits to crystal collars to pet furniture, and can fit any budget.

For those that enjoy history, the city’s oldest continually operating cemetery is located just four miles away. Established 1806, and listed as a Historic Virginia Landmark on the National Register of Historic Places, The Old City Cemetery offers visitors an opportunity to tour significant events in the history of Lynchburg. Guided tours are available, where guests can learn more about the city’s founding mothers and fathers, the contributions and impact of African Americans, how grieving and mourning was done during the Victorian Era and the impact the Civil War had on modern medicine and medical care. For those with a fondness for flowers, there are also horticultural tours available, where visitors can study and view antique roses, learn about the native and imported trees common in 19th-century cemeteries or visit a working composting garden.

Adventurous outdoor enthusiasts or those wanting to try their hand at something new might like to take a guided tour along the James River on a boat trip led by the James River Float Company. The family-owned business offers trips for boaters of all ages and skill levels, and pets are welcome to come along.
