New Resort Amenities

The 2024 remodel of our 39 free-standing cottages, encompassing 85 guest rooms and suites, by Charlotte-based firm Charlotte Lucas Design brings bold color and whimsical detail to each thoughtfully reimagined space. From intimate one-bedroom Suites and Arbor Cottages to spacious four-bedroom retreats, every private cottage invites relaxation and connection, complete with wood-burning fireplaces and porches with swings or rockers. Ideal for larger family gatherings and groups, our Estate Cottages accommodate six to 14 guests and are designed for comfort, enjoyment, and effortless time together.

The new Lazy River Pool is certain to be a popular place to splash and play. Designed with a zero-entry layout, it’s perfect for guests of all ages to enjoy. Features include a winding lazy river with an activity island and corkscrew water slide, creating an ideal setting for summertime enjoyment. Seven cabanas provide a haven for families to rest and recharge before heading back for more fun.

The addition of the resort family pool is a complement to the renovations of the resort’s existing pool that debuted in May 2025. An expanded pool deck and the eight new cabanas with televisions, lounge seating, refrigerators and custom chaise lounge covers by Atlanta-based Weezie towels create a welcoming pool experience for resort guests and members.

The sport taking the world by storm is now available at Barnsley Resort. Our six new, lighted pickleball courts are surrounded by the lush North Georgia foothills, for a rousing and inspiring match. The perfect vacation activity for guests of all ages.

Court reservations are required. Visit the Outpost or call 770.773.2457.

In summer 2025, a Himalayas-style putting course, designed by Bergin Golf Design from Atlanta, debuted adjacent to the Fazio golf course. The Merger, a combined 18-hole experience, is an “always included” amenity for resort guests and members, with evening and team-building programs available for corporate and social groups.

Now open, Jules is the newest culinary experience at Barnsley Resort, presented by celebrated Chef Shaun Doty and the resort’s acclaimed culinary team. Set in a lovingly restored 19th-century farmhouse (formerly the Rice House) with interiors reimagined by renowned Charleston architecture and design firm David Thompson Studio (perhaps best known for Charleston's FIG and The Ordinary, Kiawah Island Club's oceanfront B-Liner and Indaco at Ponce City Market in Atlanta), Jules invites guests to gather, linger and savor a seasonal journey inspired by travel, rustic Southern ingredients and the bold simplicity of wood-fired cooking.

More than a restaurant, Jules is a warm and welcoming place where time slows, conversation flows and every detail is designed to delight, particularly in the newly expanded bar and cocktail lounge. Jules is open for dinner, Wednesday through Saturday. For dining reservations, please call 770.773.7480 ext. 1.
