Blackberry Farm, Walland, Tenn.

This five-star resort and farm nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains covers more than 4,000 acres and is home to a flock of sheep, heritage breed chickens, donkeys and dogs. Extensive farm operations include an heirloom vegetable garden, an orchard, beehives for honey and a dairy that produces sheep’s milk cheese. The farm’s bounty supplies the resort’s award-winning dining venues—the more formal of which is housed in a bright red barn. Guests can get involved with farm activities, like spending a day with the cheesemaker, or opt for pampering in the Aveda spa. The 63 guest accommodations include rooms in the main estate, private cottage suites with fireplaces and several houses, all offering luxurious featherbeds and antiques.
