Valentine’s Day has past, but love lingers in the air.

Whether you’re looking for a slightly belated romantic weekend or some much needed self-care, Barkwells welcomes and honors love in all forms… especially this month. 



This Valentine’s Day do something special for the ones you love and the ones who love you unconditionally.

Just a few cabins are left for this most romantic time of the year, now just two weeks away. Take advantage of  what Barkwells does best, which is special attention to the most important details: health and well-being for all.



Raise your paw if last year had you howling for a much-needed getaway. And to think, 2020 has actually been a full 7 years for your dog!

Ring in the new year with a change of scenery and attitude at Barkwells. Your winter stay includes everything either of you could possibly need, from high speed internet right down to the dog towels and wine stopper (and the wine to go with it)!



Our four legged family is never with us long enough. Of the more than 10,000 dogs that have stayed with us at Barkwells in our 17 years, so many have moved on. Their loved ones keep their spirits close and want to remember them always. To honor and memorialize these beloved ones, Barkwells has created its Memorial Garden, where stones can be placed during your stay.

Some guests ask if they can spread their dogs’ ashes at Barkwells, as it truly was their “happy place”. Cremated remains are naturally salty and alkaline, so they are toxic to plants, therefore, not a good solution for the health of our small property.

We are fortunate to have NC’s only conservation burial park right next door. Carolina Memorial Sanctuary is a beautiful and welcome resource for information and alternatives. We asked about ashes and they provided the following information.
