It's Fall in the Mountains
While most people come for the spectacular color and cool fall air in the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains, there is more going on here than you can throw your dog’s stick at! From art to apples and beer to Barnaroo, there are festivals for every occasion.
Announcing Barkwells' Brand New Website!
Welcome to Barkwells new look! We are so excited to partner with Cube Creative Design of Asheville to update our website with a more dynamic and functional look!
While the new site looks similar, we are sure you will find it even easier to navigate and all your need-to-know info is right at your fingertips. Most importantly, our reservation process is the same, so it is easy to reserve your stay.
What's with the Bamboo?
Many guests are inquiring about the changes going on “next door” as they see the bamboo being removed on the other side of our perimeter fence. In 2016, Unity of The Blue Ridge Church, which owned 21 acres adjacent to Barkwells on the east and south, sold the south 11 acres across the creek from Barkwells. That property has become Carolina Memorial Sanctuary (CMS), the first conservation burial park in North Carolina.
