Saratoga, also known as the General Daniel Morgan House, is a home near Boyce, Virginia. It is a gray limestone Georgian style house built by Brig. Gen. Daniel Morgan, best known for his victory over the British at the Battle of Cowpens in 1781. He named it after the American victory at Battle of Saratoga.[3][4] The house was also occupied at times by John Esten Cooke and his brother Philip Pendleton Cooke, both noted writers.[5]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973.[2]

It is located about .5 miles south of Boyce on the west side of County Route 723.
