We all know the feeling of the Atlanta "connector" at rush hour. But just 80 miles south, the landscape shifts from concrete and skyscrapers to rolling hills and towering pines. Callaway Resort & Gardens offers the perfect Atlanta escape plan, providing a world-class staycation that feels like it is worlds away from the city noise.
Planning your visit to Pine Mountain is the simplest way to trade your notification pings for the sounds of nature. Whether you are seeking a romantic weekend or a family-friendly adventure, the journey to serenity is shorter than you think.
Even when the weather is unpredictable, the gardens provide a constant sanctuary for those looking to recharge.
The Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center is one of North America’s largest tropical conservatories. Stepping inside feels like an instant vacation to the tropics. With over 1,000 butterflies in flight and a lush, climate-controlled environment, it is the perfect place to find your focus and enjoy a moment of quiet wonder.
Your staycation should be as restorative as it is exciting. The Spa at Callaway Resort & Gardens is a destination for wellness, offering treatments that utilize natural ingredients to soothe and revitalize. It is an essential stop for anyone looking to leave the stress of the city behind and embrace a slower pace of life.
What makes Callaway Resort & Gardens truly unique is our history. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation, every visit supports our mission of environmental conservation and wildlife rehabilitation.
Reconnect with your family on two wheels. The 10-mile Discovery Bike Trail winds through the heart of our 2,500-acre oasis, offering views of the lakes and woodlands that you simply cannot find in the city. It is a place where "traffic" means waiting for a family of deer to cross the path.
Visit the Virginia Hand Callaway Discovery Center to meet our resident birds of prey. These majestic animal ambassadors are part of our vital conservation efforts. Witnessing a hawk or eagle in flight is a powerful reminder of the natural beauty we work so hard to protect and share with our guests.
Choosing your home base is part of the fun. From the refined luxury of The Lodge and Spa to the cozy, wooded privacy of our Cottages and Villas, there is an accommodation style for every type of traveler.
