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.

Rustic Cottage Amongst Beautiful Pastoral Landscape
We enjoyed relaxing, exploring the property (with a stream, pond, pastures, and woods), listening to the nearby cows and sheep, and admiring the vegetable and flower gardens. The fenced in yard provided ample area for kids to play in the yard and enjoy meals outside while taking in the beautiful scenery. The cottage also has ample books (for adults and children) and games to play with the family in the evenings. A truly wonderful spot!!

Best place to disconnect
This property was absolutely phenomenal if you wish to have a place to be forced to put your cell phone down and just enjoy each other’s company. Cell service was very limited, so it forced enjoyed us to interact and explore nature and each other’s company. I highly recommend it for anybody looking to disconnect from the world. The property is beautiful and amazing. The beds were really comfortable and Teresa was incredible.

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.
