    The Resort

    History, Romance & Connection

Our storybook setting is no coincidence. In the 1840s, Godfrey Barnsley built Woodlands, a grand estate and gardens, for his beloved wife, Julia.

Nearly 200 years later, this once-in-a-lifetime gift to a beloved spouse has flourished into an incomparable resort set among 3,000 awe-inspiring acres in the foothills of North Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Here, every acre, amenity, adventure and experience is designed to delight and nurture wholehearted connection.
