About Us
Innkeepers Joe & Lyndee Radigan welcome you to
Knollwood House, ". . . the Pinehurst area's most elegant
bed-and-breakfast . . ." as designated by Golf Odyssey
Magazine.
Knollwood House traces it's roots back to 1927 when a wealthy
family from Philadelphia built a vacation getaway on what was then
the newest Donald Ross designed golf course in the Sandhills. The
house later became the home of the Commandant of Fort Bragg.
Knollwood House has always been a notable location for celebration
and social gatherings, attracting guests like Glenn Miller, who
played on the lawn after returning from a USO Concert on post; Herb
Pennell, who took polo to new heights on the fields surrounding
Pinehurst; and Walter Hagen and Ben Hogan who found golf heaven in
the Sandhills.
 In
1992, Knollwood House was converted from a private residence to a
Bed and Breakfast Inn. Innkeepers Joe and Lyndee Radigan acquired
Knollwood House in 2007. The Radigans plan on maintaining the fine
traditions that have been established over the years and have
already added some new and exciting amenities to Knollwood House.
For instance, guests can now stay connected with free high-speed
wireless internet access and they can enjoy the convenience of
making reservations on-line through the Knollwood House web site.
Joe and Lyndee have become Innkeepers after successful careers
in the corporate world. Joe has been a senior executive in the
health care and insurance industries, and Lyndee spent her time in
the executive ranks in Human Resources. It is their desire to
incorporate their talents with people and their passion for cooking
with their excitement for the area of Southern Pines and the
Sandhills.
After several visits to the area, the Radigans determined that
the Sandhills was the perfect location to satisfy their dual
passions for golf and equestrian activities. Joe grew up being
actively involved in junior and high school golf in Connecticut and
spent each summer as a caddie at the local country club. Lyndee has
been the driving force behind their Equestrian Center in South
Florida, Jumpin' 'Round Farms. Joe and Lyndee have two wonderful
daughters, one who is an equestrian and the other who is an avid
golfer and a member of her high school's varsity golf team.
Joe and Lyndee hope you will join them for a wonderfully
relaxing and interesting stay at Knollwood House. |
