Overview

On a 4,200-acre estate in the foothills of Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains, Blackberry Farm is one of the South’s most celebrated country inns. Those in the know commend its exquisite location, first-rate service and delicious food — the inn produces its own cheese, eggs, honey, vegetables and fruit for its guests. The property’s two ponds and stream beckon anglers who travel here solely for the Orvis-endorsed fly fishing; other diversions include horseback riding, swimming, hiking and tennis. Epicureans savor the regionally inspired haute cuisine. Housed in a charming 1870s farmhouse, the Aveda Concept Spa offers signature treatments using local blackberries to soothe and rejuvenate the body.

Where is Blackberry Farm located?

Tennessee's secluded Blackberry Farm is located on a 4,200-acre pastoral estate in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. The Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star hotel, at 1471 W. Millers Cove Road in Walland, is about 45 minutes away from Knoxville proper. However, the hotel is only a 25-minute drive from Knoxville’s McGhee Tyson Airport, so you won't have to wait long after landing to relax and settle into your vacation at this lovely rural resort.

Blackberry Farm began as a couple’s dream home in the 1930s — it got its name when one of the owners snagged her stocking on a blackberry bush — and was converted to an inn in 1976. Aside from its idyllic countryside setting, the hotel is also known for its excellent Four-Star restaurant, The Barn at Blackberry Farm.
