Barkwells Asheville Libby Cabin: Dog-Centric Resort, Hot Tub, Pond, 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.

About the Libby Cabin: Welcome to the Libby Cabin! Whether you are looking for a spacious getaway for two or a family retreat, this elegant log cabin easily becomes your “home away from home.” Featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, 2 main-floor bedrooms, an upstairs loft bedroom, and 2.5 bathrooms, Libby comfortably sleeps up to six guests.

Step out onto the roomy covered porch to rock in the chairs or gently sway on the porch swing while gazing out over the tranquil pond and expansive meadow. A convenient ramp from the parking area right to your door makes loading and unloading a breeze, while steps lead directly down into your private, fenced yard.
