Pine Knot, Presidential retreat building in Albemarle County, Virginia, United States.

Pine Knot consists of a two-story wooden frame structure with a deep front porch, surrounded by oak, cedar, dogwood, maple, and cherry trees.

Theodore and Edith Roosevelt purchased this 15-acre property with an unfinished cabin for $280 in 1905 during his presidency until 1908.

The residence maintains its original 1905 configuration without modern amenities, representing early 20th-century presidential recreational preferences for natural settings.

The Edith and Theodore Roosevelt Pine Knot Foundation manages the property, which opens to visitors through scheduled appointments and guided tours.

The property contains six nature trails across 90 acres where President Roosevelt conducted bird observations and wildlife studies during his stays.
