Blackberry Farm

Additional Leisure

Fitness Center

Complement your outdoor adventure or indoor pampering with a traditional workout. Located on the lower level of Chestnut Cottage, the Fitness Center is always open and features stationary bikes, stair-climbing machines, treadmills and free weights.


Golf

Swing the day away on the nearby greens. Three 18-hole courses are located within 30 minutes of Blackberry Farm, and reservations are made in advance for tee times. Our staff will arrange transportation and other amenities to suit your individual or group preferences.


Swimming

Our outdoor pool is surrounded by spectacular views of the Great Smoky Mountains and the lawns and meadows of the estate. After an invigorating swim, you can relax in a comfortable chaise lounge or enjoy a snack at a table with a sun umbrella.


Bird-Watching

From the porch of your cottage suite, a rocking chair on the Main House veranda or a vantage point on one of our many paths, bird-watching with binoculars is a favorite pastime for our guests. The serene environment of the woodlands and rolling fields provides a natural setting for a wide variety of birds.


Touring

Rent a Harley-Davidson and enjoy the scenic back roads of East Tennessee and onto the Dragon's Tail in North Carolina. With the power of the Harley-Davidson motorcycles you can travel to some of the most scenic and legendary biking routes in the world. The renowned Dragon's Tail has over 300 hairpin curves winding through the mountains.

Tennis

Tucked in the hillside just below the Main House and Guesthouse are four hard courts. You’ll always find fresh towels and mountain spring water at courtside, and equipment is available with an advance request. A tennis instructor or hitting partner can be reserved as well.

Stargazing

As evening falls on Blackberry Farm, far from streetlights and city haze, the twinkling stars become the main show.  A nightly bonfire gathering at West Millers Cove is the perfect spot for viewing the constellations, winding down the day and socializing with other guests.  For a more intense stargazing experience, reserve a private session with our telescope and a qualified astronomer. 
$165 Per Hour by request only


Guest Carts

A leisurely pace is fitting for the tranquil grounds of Blackberry Farm.  Guests can rent electric carts by the hour or day for touring our many paved paths.
