"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
"I wouldn't call this roughing it: Blackberry Mountain, the much-anticipated follow-up to Blackberry Farm that opened in early 2019, is a nature-centric luxury lodge with 36 freestanding accommodations (including Treehouses, Stone Cottages, and multi-bedroom homes) and Smokies views. The property feels like summer camp for grown-ups, with a spa called Nest focused on holistic treatments, plush amenities like Egyptian cotton bedding, Bose smart speakers, and soaking tubs, included breakfast and dinner at in-house restaurants, and extras such as soundbath sessions in the yoga loft." - Caitlin Morton
