I grew up in Elmira then, moved to Europe where I spent 33 years in Paris. After I had seen all I wanted and learned all I wondered, like a good horse, I had the sense to come back to my barn. I am glad to be home at The Knoll. It was my mother’s favorite home, amidst many many beauties, but this was her favorite and now, it is my favorite. Built in 1922, by one of the largest importers of wood from the Philippines, both the main house and guest house depend heavily on these woods for their charm and style. It is a privilege to live here.
During your stay
If there are any problems, I am across a courtyard. There is a pamphlet listing highlights in the area.
