The 18 Best Family Resorts in the U.S.
"Set in the Great Smoky Mountains foothills and long celebrated for its food-and-farm program, this Relais & Châteaux estate offers a variety of accommodations—from Main and Guest House rooms to private cottages and houses—and a working farmstead with gardens, pastures, a dairy barn, and resident animals for tours. Families can search Hess Creek for salamanders and crawdads, enroll kids (ages 4 and up) in Camp Blackberry for culinary arts, crafts, and wellness programming, and parents can enjoy wine and spirits tastings and a spa. Note that children under 4 incur no extra nightly charge, but ages 4 and up are assessed a $250 per child, per night fee; rates start at about $1,145 with a three‑night minimum." - Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning is the special projects and surveys editor at Travel + Leisure, where she has been on staff since 2018.
