Blackberry Mountain

Blackberry Mountain sits on 5,200 acres of preserved mountain landscape near Walland, Tennessee, with 2,800 acres dedicated to conservation. The property rises above Miller's Cove and offers sweeping views across the Great Smoky Mountains region. It's a working example of large-scale land stewardship—more than half the original property was placed into conservation in 2009.

Named one of The South's Best Resorts in Travel + Leisure's 2024 World's Best Awards

Blackberry Mountain opened in 2019, continuing a family hospitality tradition that started in 1976 when Sandy and Kreis Beall founded Blackberry Farm as a six-room country inn. Their son Sam transformed Blackberry Farm into a world-renowned destination before his passing in 2016. His wife, Mary Celeste Beall, became proprietor and led the creation of Blackberry Mountain alongside her father-in-law Sandy Beall.

The Beall family's hospitality properties have won three James Beard Awards (Best Chef: Southeast, Outstanding Wine Program, Outstanding Service), Bon Appétit's No. 1 Hotel for Food Lovers, ELLE Décor's Travel A-List for Best New Hotel, and Hideaway Report's Hideaway of the Year.
