Barnsley Resort in Adairsville, Georgia

Barnsley Resort

Tucked away in the foothills of Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains lies Barnsley Resort. The storybook site was built by Godfrey Barnsley for his wife and the love of his life, Julia, and there is love in every brick. Today, the 3,000-acre resort is the ultimate retreat to unplug, find balance, and reconnect with loved ones and Mother Nature. Couples also have their pick of outdoor activities, from horseback riding to clay shooting, and can reignite the fire (literally!) by cozying up around the pits with drinks in hand. For those hoping for some real R&R, couples can visit the Barnsley Resort Spa and have their pick of couples treatments.
