Diva Cabin: Ultimate Dog-Centric Mountain Retreat w/ Hot Tub & Fenced Yard!

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.
