The Barkwells Resort Experience
Welcome to Barkwells, Asheville's premier dog-centric vacation destination! Celebrating over 20 years of "Come. Sit. Stay.®", Barkwells is an exclusive, low-density gated community designed specifically for dog lovers. Located just minutes from shopping, dining, and the Sierra Nevada Brewery in Mills River, this unique resort offers a safe, magical environment where dogs can truly be dogs.
Step outside your door to discover acres of fully fenced, lush mountain meadows and a large pond perfect for your four-legged friends to run off-leash, swim, and socialize. Barkwells provides the perfect balance: a lively, open-air playground for your pups and a peaceful, luxurious mountain getaway for you.
About Bo's Hideaway: Welcome to Bo's Hideaway! Do you remember trips to Grandma's house—that warm, welcoming home where you felt so sheltered and cared for? That is exactly the vibe you will find in this fully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin that comfortably sleeps four guests.
Boasting rich pine paneling, gleaming oak floors, vintage furniture, and a roomy eat-in kitchen, Bo's Hideaway wraps you in cozy nostalgia the moment you walk through the door. Outside, you'll love the views from the large covered deck. Whether you are watching the sunrise or the moonrise over the expansive fenced yard and distant mountains, it is the perfect spot to unwind. Plus, your huge, completely fenced backyard features a convenient gate leading straight into the rest of the Barkwells meadows, so you and your pups are never far from socializing and swimming in the pond!
