Blackberry Farm LLC is a celebrated intimate luxury hotel located in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains in eastern Tennessee.

The property spans 4,200 acres and offers guests breathtaking scenery, gourmet cuisine, and pleasurable pastimes amidst a tranquil retreat for over 70 years. In 1976, the Beall family, captivated by the farm’s charm, transformed it into a luxurious resort known for its Southern hospitality. Originally a six-room country inn opened by Kreis Beall in honor of her vision, it has since expanded to welcome guests with personalized attention indicative of genuine Southern warmth and excellence. Under the leadership of Proprietor Mary Celeste Beall and continued by their family, Blackberry Farm holds prestigious accolades such as Travel + Leisure's Number 1 hotel in North America and Bon Appetit’s #1 Hotel for Food Lovers. The estate is renowned not only for its service and hospitality but also for its commitment to quality dining, having received three James Beard Awards. The farm produces award-winning food, offers an exceptional wine program, and features a variety of high-standard experiences that include wellness facilities like the Farmstead and Wellhouse. Blackberry Farm's commitment to excellence makes it part of numerous top small luxury hotel lists globally, with frequent recognition by publications such as Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure. The resort continues to uphold its rich tradition under the guidance of family members who integrate their lives with the farm’s operations, ensuring that a sense of belonging and dedication remains at the core of their service ethos. Located strategically within three hours' drive from several southern U.S. cities and 25 minutes from Knoxville airport—with direct flights from over 19 different cities—Blackberry Farm stands as an iconic retreat.
