95
I stayed in a renovated cottage, cross-court dinked on the new pickleball courts, found my groove with axe throwing, toured the additions to the Beretta Shooting Grounds and enjoyed lunch at the now-enclosed Biergarten. I relaxed at The Spa with a hot stone massage and toured the beautifully lit Manor House ruins at night.
With its charming cottages, romantic ruins, fabulous food, bucolic setting and array of activities, Barnsley Resort in North Georgia is one of my favorite places.
Opened in 1999, Barnsley renovated and upgraded several areas and I went to check out the changes in the 3,000-acre resort.
Please see our full story, including the pickleball courts.
