Blackberry Farm, Tennessee

A luxury farmstead bordering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blackberry Farm encourages its visitors to indulge “a Blackberry state of mind.” And how could it not? With its romantic foothills nestled on a pastoral 4200-acre estate, the property is a delight in spring. Be sure to take a farmstead tour and learn about the art of saving seeds. Plus, Blackberry Farm is one of the best foodie destinations in the country.

This retreat uses heirloom ingredients that embrace a combination of sophisticated and rustic. Consider trying their wildflower honey, Appalachian maple syrup or their “Singing Brook Cheese,” an aged sheep’s milk cheese with a hard rind. Hungry yet? Meals are served in a picturesque eighteenth-century Amish barn. Meanwhile, accommodations are luxurious to say the least and charmingly historic. Rates vary according to season and accommodation.

Len Foote Hike Inn, Georgia

This next spring break destination in the U.S. might be hard to reach but well worth the effort! The Len Foote Hike Inn is located near the north Georgia mountains, and it takes about a 5-mile walk to reach from the Appalachian Trail. Depending on your skill level, this walk could take as long as four hours. But the walk itself is part of the experience of this Inn. You will see all the nature that Georgia has to offer. And in spring, this trek full of ancient hickory must be gorgeous!

The Inn itself offers comfortable rooms free from the intrusion of the outside world, giving visitors quiet time with family and the chance to commune with nature. Warm beds, family-style meals and the rustic setting combine to create a great relaxing spring break indeed. Rates start at $132 on weekdays and include dinner and breakfast.

Pursell Farms, Alabama

Pursell Farms is Southern hospitality at its finest. This family-run farm turned resort urges guests to “unwind on the farm.” And with its location being so close yet delightfully removed from major cities (a half hour from Birmingham and two hours from Atlanta), you’ll be able to unwind and unplug country style. The farm’s restaurant boasts gulf shrimp and grits, collard greens and all the Southern foods galore. Stay in one of the farm’s cottages and check out the views of rolling hills and pastoral scenes. Why not take a swing on the award-winning golf course? For more adventurous guests, the farm offers the Orvis Shooting Grounds, where you can participate in guided hunts or try out wingshooting.

Would you rather head to spring break destinations out West? Sage Hill Inn plays host to scenes of rural serenity and romantic getaways. Only thirty miles from Austin, this hidden spring break retreat is the sort of spot that won’t be crammed full of tourists. But with gorgeous scenes overlooking the Colorado River, one can’t help but wonder why! Apart from the romantic, picture-perfect scenes, the Inn offers an assortment of activities, from hiking and mountain biking to time spent lounging around the pool or at the spa. Sit a spell by the fire pit or take a walk around the Colorado River. There’s even an authentic Texas barbeque joint, the Salt Lick BBQ, not far from the Inn.

The Willow’s Inn, Washington

The next stop on our list of hidden spring break destinations is located on Lummi Island. This beautiful destination is found among the San Juan Islands and the Gulf Islands in the Salish Sea, just off the Pacific Northwest and Southwest Canada. The Willow’s Inn boasts several unique features. But perhaps the most interesting might be its access to a culinary score that is the island itself.

There, the Inn’s chefs gather seaweed along the shore and fish for local salmon. And much of the distinctive foods—care for an edible flower, anyone—are made available through the nearby farm, Loganita Farm. Besides edible flowers, the farm produces a multitude of veggies and herbs; plus, visitors can take any of the walking tours the farm provides. Or try the Inn’s sea kayaking tour or wild foraging tour. Either way, remember to spot the region’s native fauna, too, like the local orca. Accommodations at the Inn give off a beach cottage vibe. Rooms from $230.
