Where Vacation is For Everyone in the Family

It’s hard to go off on an adventure and leave a beloved family member behind. Barnsley Resort isn’t just a pet-friendly resort. With more than 3,000 acres of rolling North Georgia Hills, mystical forested trails, historic grounds and gardens and cozy fires, it’s made for enjoying and exploring with our furry best friends. Pets are not only welcome here, they’re well loved.

Where to Stay

Pet-friendly accommodations include select cottage suites and multi-room cottages in our charming cottage village. Pets are not allowed in the rooms and suites in the Inn at Barnsley Resort and some cottages. Bring up to two (2) pets to stay with you so you can all enjoy the magic you can only find here.

Where to Play

Hiking, rolling, snuggling and playing. There are more than 10 miles of hiking trails made for roaming, beautiful gardens to amble through, 3,000 glorious acres for endless walks and adventures and outdoor gathering spaces with fire pits and lawn games when it’s time to lie down. You can even bring your furry friend for outdoor dining on the front porch of Woodlands or at the Biergarten on weekends. It’s hard to say who will enjoy Barnsley Resort more, you or your pet. Be prepared for them to feel right at home.
