 The Orvis Shooting Grounds at Barnsley Gardens
Straight from the pages of a classic novel comes the Orvis Shooting Grounds at Barnsley Gardens Resort. This luxurious resort nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains has a history filled with love, loss, and myths. With stunning 19th - century ruins that beg to be explored and 160-year-old formal gardens filled with a variety of flowers and, according to local lore, at least one ghost, Barnsley Gardens Resort offers guests a beautiful and unique setting.
This romantic getaway, only an hour drive from Atlanta, has an 18-hole championship golf course, a spa and fitness center, clay tennis courts, a Grecian-style swimming pool, fishing, horseback riding, sporting clays, quail and turkey hunting, mountain biking, and walking trails. It is one of the most captivating resorts in the South, recently voted one of the “Top Places to Stay in the World” by Condé Nast Traveler. Following the design principles of the renowned 19 th - century landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing, the Inn at Barnsley Gardens is modeled on a 19th - century pedestrian village, with 33 English-style guest cottages housing 87 individually decorated suites located on the resort’s 1,300 acres.
