Rejuvenate at Scenic Pine Mountain If you’d rather kick back with some frills, Callaway Resort & Gardens offers all kinds of relaxing fun, like spa treatments, private flower gardens, and rambling trails. The resort is as expansive as it is accommodating, too, sprawled across the Appalachian foothills in Pine Mountain . In spring, the air is perfumed with thousands of azaleas – pink, red, lavender, and white – spilling across the Callaway Brothers Azalea Bowl in full color. Stroll wide and welcoming paths surrounded by blooms, or quietly reflect on a bench amid the subtle fragrance of the Thornhill Hydrangea Garden . Then, step inside the glass-enclosed warmth of the Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center to appreciate lush greenery, the faint burble of a waterfall, and fluttering butterflies. Choose to bike or hike past rushing streams and reflective ponds, over bridges, and through shady stands of pine along the Discovery Bike Trail , keeping your eyes peeled for turtles and herons along the 10 tranquil miles. Tip: you can rent wheels from the Virginia Hand Callaway Discovery Center or bring your own. Between nature excursions, book pampering body and skin treatments at The Spa at Callaway Gardens . Bask in the warmth of the Himalayan Salt Room , try a tension-melting Swedish massage, or feel your skin moisturized and rejuvenated with an organic facial. No matter which you pick, you’ll feel relaxed and ready for more. Nestled in the woods, Callaway’s cozy cottages and spacious villas are more than just a place to rest your head; they’re a place to recharge and spend time with loved ones. Embrace the no-agenda getaway with low-key hangouts in your home away from home – like snuggling up on plush couches for movie night or reminiscing over hot cocoa and wine in your private patio space. 108 #EXPLOREGEORGIA CALLAWAY RESORT & GARDENS, PINE MOUNTAIN | EXPLORE GEORGIA
