PB hotel design editorial

Few American hotels have argued as persuasively as Blackberry Farm that luxury and agrarian life are not opposites. Spread across 4,200 acres in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains near Walland, Tennessee, the property was assembled by Sandy and Kreis Beall over several decades beginning in the 1970s, transforming a working farm into one of the most distinctive retreats in the country. The red gambrel-roofed barn visible from the white-fenced pastures is not decorative — it anchors the property's identity as a functioning agricultural estate, housing the restaurant that made Blackberry Farm's farm-to-table reputation long before that phrase became a marketing category. The interiors work in two registers. Guest rooms in the main farmhouse carry the atmosphere of a well-inherited English country house: four-poster beds dressed in ticking-stripe canopies, floral chintz drapes in deep burgundy and tobacco, tufted wool armchairs, and antique French armoires that have the weight of pieces genuinely collected rather than specified. Cottage accommodations elsewhere on the property take a warmer, more Mediterranean direction — lime-washed plaster walls in terracotta tones, exposed hand-hewn ceiling beams, steel-framed windows, and leather-headed beds beneath botanical leaf prints. The Barn restaurant preserves its original post-and-beam timber frame, the structural drama of the agricultural building turned to candlelit dining. Outside, morning mist lifts off the heated pool as the Blue Ridge ridgeline emerges behind it — a view the property has never needed to improve upon.

"Blackberry Farm absolutely exceeded expectations! I had noticed a few reviews that make me a little nervous about going, but I need not have worried. Every element of our stay was perfection. The staff goes above and beyond - from the people at the front desk to housekeeping to everyone in the dining outlets. The food also exceeded expectations, especially Dogwood for dinner. The Barn for dinner was always wonderful and the space is stunning. Spa services were great, and the spa was very serene. A special things to Brie at Dogwood for her amazing service and also to Becky at the Spa for going above and beyond."

"The most unique experience in a spectacularly beautiful part of the country. This is a highly personalized experience where every detail has been thoughtfully considered. The food is truly five-star. If you're not someone who really appreciates exceptional food, I'm not sure you'll fully appreciate the value of what you're paying for. My only suggestion would be to include a house wine with lunch and dinner as part of the stay. It would feel like a natural addition at this level of hospitality. Having a golf cart at our disposal was essential. It was hot, and being able to explore so much of the property was the primary reason to visit. The grounds are a slice of heaven, with beautiful little spots to sit, relax, or discover around every corner. We saw so many animals including a bear, a great blue heron, a hawk, sheep, puppies, countless small woodland creatures. They had two of the sweetest little gift shops to walk into with the most gorgeous, high end knick-knacks, serving pieces, and jarred delicacies you could imagine. The service and amenities were exceptional. This was hospitality at its finest—attentive and expert without ever feeling fawning or intrusive. We also loved being able to enjoy the spa without having to book a treatment. The space is stunning, and soaking in the hot tub with drinks during a brief rainstorm was one of the highlights of our stay. The activities were the highlight of our trip. We went horseback riding, joined a foraging hike, and took a guided tour of the property. Each was a private tour, thoughtfully designed and offered a truly one-of-a-kind experience."

"My wife and I went for our 10th anniversary - couldn't have asked for a better experience. We had heard lots of good things going in but the food and relaxing atmosphere exceeded our expectations. The service all around was excellent. The farm is really fun and is just beautiful in general. Highly recommend a farmstead tour, flyfishing, and biking experience. Best massage I've ever had - and the wine service is incredible. Next time we want to try the mountain as well!"

"Kids absolutely loved it. Great food and plenty of outdoor activities….we even had a day of snow! After the “service charges” the final bill was actually offensive. We travel first class all over the world and this was the most outrageously priced location that we have ever experienced. Could have paid one of the kids tuition for a year with the bill. Won’t return"
