"I have been going to Callaway Gardens since I was a very young child. It is an award-winning, 2,500-acre gardens and resort nestled in the southernmost foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Pine Mountain, Georgia. Callaway is only about 30 minutes North of Columbus. You can easily spend an entire day here with Robin Lake, the Day Butterfly Center, the chapel in the woods, and so much more. This is a must do while you're in the area. "
