This distinguished country house hotel of 68 rooms, set on a 4,200-acre estate bordering Great Smoky Mountains National Park, has been owned by the Beall family since 1976. Estate Rooms are decorated in a distinctive English style. Cottages, suites and multibedroom homes are enhanced by fireplaces, whirlpool tubs and porches. Main House public areas have exhilarating views of the Smokies. Award-winning The Barn serves exceptional “foothills cuisine” that borrows from both classic haute cuisine and foods indigenous to the region. Note that the barn does not permit children under the age of 10 and men are required to wear jackets. The wine cellar offers more than 170 half bottles, which allow diners to experiment. Aside from a lavish spa, amenities include two outdoor pools, tennis, cooking classes, Orvis-endorsed fly-fishing (expert instruction is available) and riding stables.
Sitting on the terrace at the Dogwood restaurant, eating delectable food and gazing at the Smoky Mountains; the fine equestrian center.
The Holly Glade Cottage Suites are rather dark, and their woodland setting can be secluded or claustrophobic according to your point of view.
At the spa, the “Lavender and Vanilla Bourbon Body Drench” isn’t nearly as alarming and alcoholic as it sounds.
