GOOP PRAISES BLACKBERRY MOUNTAIN, SPILLS JOANNA CZECH'S BEST SKIN CARE TIPS + SHARES A FIELD GUIDE FOR MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR MOUNTAIN GETAWAY

According to Goop Beauty Editor Brianna Peters, "There are many reasons to rest and reset at the luxurious Blackberry Mountain and Blackberry Farm resorts in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee: rustic cottages with wood fireplaces and soaking tubs, farm-to-table menus, lush hiking trails, amazing classes, and breathtaking sunsets. And the spas are already a huge draw, but what’s new is the sought-after facialists now in residence there. At Blackberry Mountain, the Nest spa recently became the first-ever Joanna Czech–certified spa in the US, with Czech performing facials herself as well as training staff in her techniques."

The article goes on to share Joanna Czech's "at-home rules for amazing skin", and also features a field guide for making the most of your Blackberry Mountain Getaway.

The Goop Editor's Guide to Blackberry Mountain:

- Book yourself one of the new, enchanting Treehouse cabins that jut out right into the forest. They have comfortable cloud beds, cozy fireplaces (order the s’mores kit to your room), and large marble soaking tubs.

- The Firetower—a restaurant at the very top of the mountain—offers panoramic views of the Smokies and watercolor-esque sunsets. Get the quinoa-fried quail with chili honey and watch the sun go down with a crisp glass of white wine.

- All the hikes are incredible, but especially the guided hike to Cat’s Paw Ridge.

- The Woodlands Yoga, on a remote platform in the middle of the woods, was one of the most relaxing classes I’ve ever taken.

- The Stretch and Release self-myofascial release class really helped me work out a frustrating knot in my shoulder.

- The soothing sound bath meditation completely transported me to another planet.

- At the other restaurant, Three Sisters, get the grilled sourdough with marigold and creamy onion-cashew dip, the seasonal chestnut and caramelized-onion ravioli, the guinea hen, and the refreshing bourbon-and-blackberry-syrup Blackberry Blackberry. -Brianna Peters
