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.

Once again our stay was GREAT! It is so peaceful we all slept late which is very rare. We all loved fishing in the ponds and the kids really enjoy playing with the dogs and the duck. We met one of your friends who is planning a sailing trip and we all enjoyed meeting and talking with her....what a lovely lady The only real bad part of our weekend was we had to pack up and come home - one of our kids cried So we need to come back again soon! We hope we see you in the fall. Thanks for having us! Matt and family

Brought my dog to this really cute and quaint cottage! We had an issue figuring out where to park but that was totally my bad, I missed instructions. The cottage had everything we needed and was so peaceful and quiet. We felt very comfortable and loved it. Our host was more than amazing and super sweet! We would stay again

Theresa, the owner of the property, was so hospitable and easy to work with. She warmly greeted us, gave us the lay of the land, tended to our needs, and welcomed us to explore her beautiful property. We wish we had more time to explore but it was a busy few days with our son’s graduation so we will definitely come back again!

I don’t even have words to explain how beautiful this place is.. it’s honestly like time just stopped.. when I first booked this house I was worried about not having wifi but honestly it is just what we needed..the pictures don’t even do this place justice. When we walked in we had cake and fresh flowers on the table it was such a lovely touch. Everything was clean and well stocked… The owner of the property came and introduced herself and was very nice and helpful. We loved playing with the dogs, watching the cows, and driving around the property…the stars are beautiful there at night that was my favorite part…I can’t wait to book our next stay there again.

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.
