"The ultimate in rural luxury: a stylish country estate with plush quarters on 4,200 acres, in the Great Smoky Mountain foothills outside Knoxville.
Rooms to Book: The Magnolia Room for its beautiful mountain view and four-poster bed.
Insider Tip: Pack a buttermilk fried chicken picnic lunch to enjoy at the Yallarhammer, a riverside pavilion, or at the boathouse on Walland Pond.
About 25 minutes from Knoxville, Blackberry is like a south of the Mason-Dixon Line edition of a Currier & Ives print: ribbons of white fences, a pond stocked with catfish, and houses constructed from Tennessee fieldstone. Set on 4,200 acres in the Great Smoky Mountains, Blackberry’s 51 rooms—spread throughout the main house, three guesthouses, and 20 cottages—are done in a plush Anglo-American idiom, complete with fringed swags and decorative pillows in fancy fabrics. Regulation rockers are soldiered onto the front lawn for the day’s Big Moment: sundown with tumblers of Hirsch 20-year-old bourbon."

"Modern cedar-shingled cottages in a secluded canyon overlooking the Mayacamas Mountains, with a nature-inspired design featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, outdoor fireplaces, and open-air showers.
Rooms to Book: The 14 Oak Creek Lodges are the most secluded and face out to the seasonal creek.
Insider Tip: Take a tour of the on-site vineyard and mountain wine cave.
Surrounded by Napa Valley vineyards and oaks, Calistoga Ranch, run by the company behind nearby Auberge du Soleil, is like a summer camp for pampered adults, with copper-trimmed cedar cabins serving as stylish bunkhouses. No cars are allowed on the 157-acre property, so guests—including robed couples en route to the Bathhouse spa— are escorted about in golf carts. Morning yoga takes place in the wine cave, and after a soak in a mineral pool, guests keep warm under handwoven chenille throws in front of outdoor fireplaces. Staff will pour you an in-room tubful of the restorative mud that has been drawing wellness seekers to the area for 150 years. If you are feeling squeamish, try the 90-minute Cabernet Classic, a grapeseed scrub and grapeseed-oil massage that makes creative use of the Valley’s most famous crop."
