About this property

Simply charming cottage

The Knoll Cottage is surrounded by acres of tranquil farmland, with woods and streams. East and west-facing porches overlook uninterrupted pastoral views=. Downstairs includes living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom with queen size bed. Upstairs there are two delightful bedrooms under the eaves. One room has twin beds, the other a double.

The cottage is situated on 170 acres of farmland which includes pastures, woodlands, and two ponds. With this additional land, we have added a glamping tent and a replica of a gypsy caravan. All three are secluded from each other.

Growing up, I was privileged to spend time at my families gypsy caravan back in the UK. It was situated in the countryside outside of London, where we lived. The experience of leaving the city to the freedom of the countryside and the enjoyment of nature inspired me to make our land a place of retreat.

We welcome guests and encourage them to explore and walk the trails. To sit at spots along the way and absorb the surroundings. There will be no sounds of traffic, just those of nature. (Water in the brooks, birdsongs, cattle, and sheep). Nighttime brings pitch-black darkness, no ambient light to distract from the wonder of stargazing.

Our wish is that people in need of a break discover our place (the Lee Farm). Many have found us and returned time after time. The cottage, glamping tent, gypsy caravan are listed individually. Booked together, they provide a desirable destination for family gatherings. This is an ideal situation where parents can relax and children are safe to explore.

Experience

A memorable stay made new friends. The cottage was like Home. I did not want leave everything. Everyone was most accommodating. The host went out of her way to help me in my quest looking for property. Beautiful garden, beautiful scenery. A high point of my stay was siding two bears. I will be back.

Comfortable cottage in tranquil countryside

Our stay in this cottage was perfect. The picturesque setting was amazing and we enjoyed interacting with our bird and cow neighbors. There are lots of trails that we enjoyed exploring on our host’s property. But most of all, we enjoyed the English hospitality of our host Teresa who prepared a flower arrangement and carrot bread for our arrival. We will return again soon. RuthGardner, Staunton , VA

It was fabulous. So nice and relaxing to have coffee on the porch and enjoy the cool mornings. To see the many deer walking around the property and coming up the road. Hearing the cows in the fields. The owner has a wonderful personality and is so talented, from cooking, to the fresh cut flowers in the home upon arrival. Seeing her garden and all the beautiful flowers she had planted. It was just a great weekend and we enjoyed it so much. We really wanted to stay. I’ll definitely be going back and spending more time.. the property alone is worth walking through. It’s definitely a paradise.

Great Farmhouse for Family Time

The farmhouse was exactly what we were looking for to enjoy some relaxing family time. No frills pushed the whole family outside. Theresa was a wonderful host and showed us around the property. My kids loved the freedom of running the property, playing with Theresa’s dogs, canoeing in the pond, and catching fireflies. If you are looking for time away, this is a great spot!

About the host

Hosted by Theresa Palmer

Host profile image
Owners Brian & Theresa Palmer designers from the UK. We moved to the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains 10 years ago. Knoll cottage is situated across the field from our home and studio. We enjoy walking the hundred acres of pasture and woodland, and our guests are welcome to do the same. We often bike the New River Trail and are happy to let the guests have the use of four bicycles as well as canoe and kayak. We are keen gardeners and raise our own organic vegetables. Weekends are spent mainly outside enjoying the peace and beauty of the surrounding area.

Why they chose this property

This charming peaceful cottage in the rolling hills of The Blue Ridge is perfect for groups large or small, as there are additional accommodations with a Glamping tent or staying in a Gypsy Caravan on the same property.
It is a unique opportunity for a memorable visit.

What makes this property unique

The feedback from our visitors since we started renting the cottage has been most rewarding. It is our pleasure to see guests relaxing and enjoying this peaceful part of the world.
