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.
