"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
"An all-inclusive, conservation-minded retreat on thousands of private acres with 23 large cottages, 14 tree houses, six traditional cabins and multi-bedroom homes—each named after local vegetation—and a fleet of golf carts for exploring the property’s 36 miles of private hiking trails. The culinary program focuses on seasonal, Appalachia-inspired cuisine across three on-site restaurants (including one built around a 1950s lookout tower), and the estate emphasizes wellness and outdoor immersion while stewarding large tracts of conserved land; a sister working farm property nearby offers additional culinary and rural experiences." - Alexandra Cheney
