Blackberry Mountain

A Luxury Mountain Retreat: Our Stay at Blackberry Mountain

Nestled in the heart of Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains, Blackberry Mountain offers an exquisite blend of adventure, relaxation, and world-class hospitality. As the contemporary, activity-focused sister property to the iconic Blackberry Farm, this Relais & Châteaux retreat seamlessly integrates nature with luxury, creating an unparalleled experience for active travelers, food enthusiasts, couples, and families with older teens.

Our Stay in the Watchman Cabin

We stayed in a Watchman Cabin, a private sanctuary tucked away in the woods. The cabin exudes warmth and coziness, with a beautifully designed sitting area in front of a wood-burning stove. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite the beauty of nature inside, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee while immersed in a good book.

Seamless Communication

Blackberry Mountain provides a room phone and a radio for communication, as cell service can be spotty, especially while exploring the extensive trail network. These options ensure you stay connected with the resort team, whether you need assistance in your cabin or while out on a hike.

Can’t-Miss Experiences

A guided hike on one of the many trails within the resort is a must. The immersive journey through the mountain’s pristine landscapes offers breathtaking views and insights into the history and ecology of the area, fostering a deeper connection to the land.

Ideal Length of Stay

With a required three-night minimum stay, Blackberry Mountain provides the perfect length for a rejuvenating getaway. This allows ample time to explore the property, indulge in the culinary experiences, and enjoy the many wellness and adventure activities available.

Best Time to Visit

Blackberry Mountain is truly a year-round destination, offering different charms in every season:

  • Summer: Cool off at the swimming pool or the on-property lake.
  • Fall: Enjoy vibrant foliage and crisp mountain air.
  • Winter: Cozy up by wood-burning fires and take advantage of indoor activities like pottery and yoga.
  • Spring: Witness the mountain come alive with blooming wildflowers and ideal hiking conditions.

For those who love hiking, winter is an especially great time to visit, as cooler temperatures make for a more comfortable trek.

Hidden Gems of the Property

One of the most surprising aspects of Blackberry Mountain is its sheer scale, spanning over 2,500 acres from the valley floor to the mountaintop. Each accommodation comes with a complimentary golf cart, an essential mode of transport across the expansive grounds.

Additionally, black bear sightings are common on the property, adding to the untamed beauty of the land. The resort’s design is intentional, blending seamlessly into the mountain’s natural landscape, preserving its breathtaking views and pristine environment.

What Sets Blackberry Mountain Apart?

While Blackberry Farm is renowned for its countryside charm and indulgent relaxation, Blackberry Mountain offers a more adventurous and youthful approach to luxury. Guests can expect the same elevated Southern hospitality and exceptional cuisine but with an emphasis on outdoor activities, wellness, and adventure.

For those seeking a perfect balance of nature, luxury, and activity, Blackberry Mountain is an unforgettable escape. Whether you’re looking to unwind in a tranquil setting or fill your days with invigorating experiences, this retreat offers something truly special.
