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 deserves all the credit and ratings it gets. My friend and I enjoyed every moment of our 5 night stay over Thanksgiving. The staff is well trained, courteous and professional. They want to work there and are happy!!!The food is exquisite. Each of the activities we participated in was well orchestrated and unique. The Concierge Team is unparalleled in its planning and follow up every step of the way prior to and upon arrival!! Thank you to Brian and team. I have already booked my next visit over Christmas 2026!"

"A beautiful resort on a stunning piece of property tucked away in Walland Tennessee. The farm-to-table resort is an experience of daytime activity such as horseback riding, fishing, gun sports, biking, kayaking, archery and a bounty of spa treatments. The dining is superb, with both the Dogwood restaurant and the barn serving deliciously crafted meals. Rooms are extraordinary and comfortable with rustic views. Get around the property on your own electric cart. Visit the kennels where they raise Lagotto romagnolo dogs, or the farm to see sheep, turkeys, chickens and donkeys enjoying a pastoral life."

"Imagine having your own beautiful, estate gentlemen's farm in the Eastern Tennessee mountains. A farm complete with serene, bucolic sheep grazing in manicured pastures, miles of incredible walking and hiking trails, a beautiful garden and an amazing staff of people who are some of friendliest, nicest, people you have ever met in the hospitality business. People who end almost every conversation with "enjoy the rest of your day". A master gardener who not only welcomes you to his wonderful garden but when asked if we could wander around replied "I'd be disappointed if you didn't"! People who really care about you having an amazing stay. If you can imagine this, then you can imagine a bit of the feel of Blackberry Farm. In addition to luxurious, private cabins with fireplaces and breathtaking vistas the hotel's fine restaurant, The Barn is a world class epicurean delight. It houses one of Americas largest wine collections. The restaurant's farm to table philosophy is evident not only in their delightful menu offerings but in seeing their people out in the garden gathering produce that evenings meal. The property is quite large so each cottage has its own golf cart for getting around and exploring. Miles of cart paths lead to bubbling streams, fishing ponds, multiple pools, and small little serene enclaves perfect to sit and relax and take in the experience. The world class meals are included in the rate making this a unique "all inclusive" at a whole different level. The no tipping, cashless policy is great. BlackBerry Farm is not inexpensive but the amazing experience is worth every penny. This has been one of the nicest travel experiences I have ever had and we will definitely be back."

"My husband and I finally treated ourselves to a long weekend at Blackberry Farm, and we are glad that we did. The property is gorgeous; the accommodations, beautiful and comfortable (so much so that I bought one of their bed pillows at their gift shop); the food and wine, spectacular (the Barn is a multiple James Beard award winner); and the service level was top-notch. All we could've asked for in addition was better weather, hoping to return in Spring, Summer, or Fall."

"This is a truly spectacular resort. The people are off the charts … great team, excellent service. The food is excellent and interesting without being too “precious”. Very comfortable room (ours was in the Main House). There’s a wonderful spacious feel…even at meals it doesn’t seem crowded. Lots of activities if you wish. Great massages."
