Rockcliffe
Farm Retreat & Lodge
is located in historic Appomattox County, Virginia
- "Where Our Nation Reunited", and is a good
base from which to explore the many attractions of
Central Virginia. On your way here, you may want to
follow the signs for "Lee's Retreat". During
your stay, you can visit the National Historic Park,
the scene of the signing of the terms of General Robert
E. Lee's surrender to General Ulysses S. Grant, as
well as the old train station in downtown Appomattox,
where Lee's supplies were captured by Grant. The restored
Cloverhill Village is nearby.
Downtown Appomattox
offers an historic courthouse and a number of delightful
shops, including
a bookstore (with music in the evenings), and The
Appomattox Gallery, complete with antique dealers,
furniture, and our own used bookstore and wood & machine
shop. Our "booth" features furniture and
wood products made from Rockcliffe Farm trees, sawed
on our own sawmill.
Thomas Jefferson's summer home, Poplar Forest, is
only a 30-minute drive away from Rockcliffe Farm
Retreat, and Monticello, his home in Charlottesville,
Virginia is only a 90-minute drive. The Retreat is
also near Wintergreen Ski Resort, Holliday Lake,
and Smith Mountain Lake. |
