CITY of BANEBERRY

Nestled in the scenic foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in beautiful East Tennessee is our quiet and friendly resort-style community—Baneberry.

Residents and visitors here enjoy an easy drive to the nearby cities of Knoxville, Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Dandridge, and Morristown. If you’re willing to drive a little further, Asheville, North Carolina, Kentucky Bourbon Trail, and a plethora of historical landmarks welcome you.

Touted as the safest city in Jefferson County, our residents relax in a rural setting but benefit from metropolitan-style shopping, service amenities, educational institutions, and recreational areas.

Whether employed or retired, Baneberry is a great place to visit—and we believe the very best place to live. Join us!

“Friendly, relaxing, fun, and safe.”

In September Companion Animal Rescue and Education responded to the scene of the Animal Control and Criminal Investigation Division seizure of 63 dogs in our county. Just a few weeks later, Hurricane Helene and the massive flooding event of our local rivers would increase the number of sheltered animals at C.A.R.E. again.

When a city resident calls Animal Control, C.A.R.E. finds a fur-ever home for the animal. Bring your donations to the Craft Fair and help the city support C.A.R.E. For a list of donation needs CLICK HERE>>>
