Southern charm and hospitality are infused into every experience at Blackberry Farm in a meaningful but authentic way.

The experience is punctuated by charming, rustic details, without being kitsch.

Everything is decidedly casual here, especially during the daytime.

Dinner does call for country-club attire, but without the stuffiness.

Whats the history?

What should you try?

Blackberry Farms spa is aptly named The Wellhouse.

Afterward, I took the best nap of my life.

Facials are done with holistic and natural brands like Tammy Fender and Naturopathica.

Other spa-adjacent activities include equine therapy and yoga, or our choice: a foraging hike.

Cherie took us on a five-mile hike through the mountains that was just challenging enough to feel productive.

What else do you better know?

The resort is all-inclusive, and the menus change daily (alcohol is available at an extra cost).

If youre looking for a slower-paced, more pastoral experience, Blackberry Farm is the choice for you.

Who can go here?

Only hotel guests can visit the spa at Blackberry Farm.
