"A mountaintop resort that devotes nearly 2,800 of its 5,200 acres to land conservation and emphasizes a sense of place; its Three Sisters dining venue landed on The New York Times' 50 Most Exciting Restaurants list. Breakfast is included in the room rate for guests staying at the mountaintop sister property of Blackberry Farm, and chef Bonnie Moore channels the Great Smoky Mountains into dishes like an omelet filled with melted Comté cheese, housemade sausage, and braised fennel, as well as Brebis Toast topped with foraged mushrooms and shaved vegetables atop fresh sheep's milk cheese." - Kristy Alpert
