Nugget's Lodge - Ultimate Dog-Centric WNC Mtn Escape, Hot Tub & Panoramic Views

The Barkwells Experience: Elevated
Welcome to Barkwells, the region's premier dog-centric vacation destination! Celebrating over 20 years of "Come. Sit. Stay.®", Barkwells is known for creating magical environments where dogs can truly be dogs, and humans can relax in luxury.

Nugget's Lodge is part of our exclusive Mountain Lodges collection. Nestled high upon the serene slopes of Cold Mountain just outside the vibrant heart of Asheville, this breathtaking cabin is perched at 4,000 feet in elevation. It offers an unparalleled mountain escape with panoramic views that stretch to infinity, where the horizon is painted with hues of morning mist and golden sunsets. (Please note: Because the view is absolutely worth the drive, the road is steep! 4WD or AWD vehicles are required to access Nugget's Lodge).

About Nugget's Lodge: Welcome to Nugget's Lodge! This incredible 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom mountain home comfortably sleeps up to six guests and seamlessly blends the call of the wild with the luxury of modern comforts.

Just out the front door, the mountains beckon with trails that weave through dense forests, leading to hidden vistas and untouched wilderness. Inside, the cabin features a magnificent open floor plan centered around a stunning wood-burning fireplace and a gourmet chef's kitchen. Upstairs, a dedicated Home Theater/Entertainment Loft ensures your evenings are just as spectacular as your days spent exploring the Appalachian range.
