Nestled in between a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Piton Mountains, you return home to your butler serviced boutique luxury resort.

Canada is officially OPEN to American travelers with a passport, vaccine card and proof of a negative Covid test. Canada is one of my favorite places to go - Vancouver, Banff, Montreal - just to name a few. Follow the fall foliage at Butchart Gardens, skiing in Whistler, seeing the cherry blossoms in the spring, or biking and hiking in the summer. And the FOOD - I still dream of the sashimi in Vancouver. Definitely should be on your list of family vacations. If you’ve never been, now is the time, eh?

Need a quick getaway? I’ve got my sites on Blackberry Farm or Blackberry Mountain - both a quick drive from Knoxville, TN. These two Relais & Chateaux luxury retreats are known for their holistic wellness, spa, culinary, and abundant outdoor activities. While you can sit back and just relax as you are nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains, I wouldn’t want to miss the amazing hikes and biking, fitness and wellness classes, cooking and painting classes, and so much more. James Beard award winning dining comes with the package - you will be spoiled. Come as a family (there are houses to rent), come for a romantic weekend, or call your closest girlfriends and tell them to “Meet me at Blackberry! “ See you there! Tag who you would want to go with! - I think this is a destination for the Matchmakers!
