For this birthday weekend, we decided to treat ourselves to 2 nights at the Blackberry Farm, a luxury hotel in Walland, TN.
Accommodation
Blackberry Farm - Located in a tiny town in the rolling hills of Tennessee, this hotel is absolutely beautiful. We had our own cabin for the two nights. The hotel has several fabulous restaurants, a spa and plenty of activities. We highly recommend it as a place to go to celebrate a special occasion.

We walked around the grounds of the hotel and went for a 8 mile hike that borders the perimeter of the grounds and Smoky Mountain National Park. We also went on a 4-hour guided kayaking trip on one of the lakes nearby the hotel. It was quite peaceful. Of course, we had to try out the spa where we got massages and relaxed, taking advantage of the amenities of the hotel.

We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Main House and one dinner (tasting menu) at the Barn. The food was amazing and fresh as they used many of their own locally grown produce and livestock. The atmosphere at the Barn was awesome -- very nice and rustic with candles lit throughout.
