Mark Bowe, host of the hit TV show “Barnwood Builders®,” where he and his crew preserve and repurpose historic log homes in his home state of West Virgina, has a brand-new project: Barnwood Village guest cottages. The three cottages feature Bruce® Barnwood Living flooring, a collaboration with AHF for solid and engineered hardwood flooring.
Barnwood Village is in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Over the last year and a half, Bowe and his Barnwood Builders crew have been hard at work building three guest cabins: the Spa City Cottage, the Big Draft Timberframe, and the Dry Creek Cabin, which is now open for business.
“Barnwood Village comes from a place of great pride in our team for what we have accomplished in White Sulphur Springs. This project originated from a desire to offer guests an exceptional experience, not just a place to stay,” says Bowe. “We dedicated months to selecting furniture and finishes that would provide comfort and beauty to our guests.”
AHF Products says the cottages present the perfect combination of old materials and new conveniences, and also features Bowe’s namesake wood flooring collection from AHF Products, Barnwood Living by Bruce. According to AHF Products, this collection is a select group of hardwood floors inspired by the timeworn character of reclaimed barnwood and manufactured to meet the practical demands of today’s homes. The Bruce product development team worked closely with Bowe to curate a collection that is representative of the wood he uses to restore barns and cabins on his TV show.
Both the engineered and solid wood floors are manufactured in the U.S. The engineered Barnwood Living floors are made in Somerset, Kentucky, and the solid hardwood is made in Beverly, West Virginia. The collection is in concert with Bowe’s experience, who, in his 26-year career, has taken down well over 400 vintage buildings and seen intimately the architecture of the well-worn flooring. The cabins are all 400 square feet and include modern amenities, such as wireless internet, bathrobes, smart TV, comfy beds, and curated interior designs.
