“Elevated 5 star dining experience in rural Tennessee? The answer is a resounding yes! Next level culinary delights, a wine list that is second to none and a bourbon list that has anything you can dream of. You want a Pappy 23 year? They have it, along with countless other offerings from all the major and craft distilleries. Take the culinary experience and drop it into an old renovated barn and you have The Barn at Blackberry. If you ever have the opportunity for the experience, don't pass it up!”

“We are locals and have driven by a million times but never stopped. I’m glad we did. The food is absolutely amazing! My husband ordered the Ruben, my daughter had the smash burger, my little one had a hot dog and Mac and cheese. I ordered the pesto chicken Philly and it was amazing. My little one refused to eat her favorite hot dog and took my sandwich. I’m so glad to have found a new place to eat. The service was so friendly and welcoming the food was delicious. We were happy with everything. We will definitely be going back.”

“Kari was our server and she was Great.”

“We came to celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday, and every single moment of our stay was exemplary. As someone who has worked in the service industry for over 15 years and has had the privilege of visiting top hotels and resorts around the world, I can confidently say this experience left me completely in awe. From the moment we arrived, the service and hospitality were absolutely top-tier. Sophie and Holly greeted us with warmth and professionalism and continued to be incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Their attention to detail and genuine kindness made all the difference. Our driver, Noah, was a standout as well. We were so impressed by how much he knew about the area, especially considering he’s relatively new—his passion and knowledge added such a thoughtful layer to our experience. Kathleen, who led our horseback riding excursion, deserves a special shoutout—12/10! Not only was she hilarious and personable, but her stories and historical knowledge of the farm and the Beall family were fascinating. It’s clear she deeply cares about the animals and the entire riding program, and the way she spoke about the family made it clear the staff are genuinely valued. The spa was a dream. When our riding ran a bit long, the staff kindly adjusted my appointment times so I didn’t feel rushed. The massage and facial were just what I needed, and the spa design—natural woods, calming blues—was straight out of a design magazine. Pure tranquility. Bridget at the pool was so helpful in making sure we didn’t miss out on any must-do activities, which made planning so much easier. And Liam went above and beyond—effortlessly adjusting our plans last minute, organizing a perfect box lunch, and even slipping in a few of the famous lemon cookies (which were a hit!). Lastly, Winston and Cole guided us on a fly fishing adventure we’ll never forget. With a perfect mix of instruction and humor, they had us casting like pros in no time—and catching fish with huge smiles on our faces. Every person we encountered made our stay feel personalized and special. We left relaxed, full of stories, and already dreaming of our return. BlackBerry Mountain, thank you for the endless memories- we cannot wait to come back.”
