In My Hometown - My Family Travels

Only in Pine Mountain can you swing through the trees, visit a wild life animal reserve, and still be grounded by the historical significance of our natural lands. We may be “small town USA” but do not underestimate us! We have many cultures found around Pine Mountain. You have Jose, who is the best Mexican cook in Georgia. We also have Eddie Mae who can cook up the best breakfast in the South! Then we have Callaway Gardens, which kind of ties the whole place together.

From “down home cooking” to Mexican cuisine, you can find it in Pine Mountain. Bon-Vivant is a local restaurant that serves up the largest and best cinnamon rolls around. They also serve specialties like quiches, sandwiches, and other delectable dinner menu items. Are you looking for specialty baked goods, then look no further than the bakery at the Rose Cottage.  If you are looking for barbeque, then we have two awesome establishments. Three Little Pigs and Whistling Pig are our local restaurants that will settle any craving for barbeque.  Callaway Gardens also has five delicious restaurants with many different menus.

Callaway Gardens would have to be the biggest attraction that draws attention to our small town. Founded in 1952, it started as a movement to protect native azalea species. Now, it has expanded to bigger and better things! The Callaways decided to expand the awareness of natural significance. Now the gardens include Tree Top adventure, which is my personal favorite, Fantasy in Lights, which is a light show, held in the winter with over eight billion lights, and Robin Lake in which people can soak up the sun during the summer. Callaway Gardens also features a Hot Air Balloon Festival on Labor Day Weekend, Steeplechase in November. Do you like golf or riding bikes? Yes, all these activities are available at Callaway Gardens. There is something to do or see every month at Callaway Gardens.  Needless to say, Pine Mountain is always ready to greet new happy faces. Aside from the wonderful things happening at Callaway Gardens, we also have Roosevelt State Park. In our town, we take great pride in the fact that one of America’s greatest presidents loved our area. FDR, as you may know, saved our country by rescuing our financial difficulties after the stock market crash. When, he was diagnosed with polio, he felt that the warm water springs in the area helped him overcome his illness. He established a home in the area entitled “The Little White House”. This is the house in which our great president died.

 As you travel a little to the north, we have Butts Mill Farm. Butts Mill Farm has putt-putt golf, petting zoo, and can be booked as a venue for your next party or family retreat or reunion. As you can see, Pine Mountain is proud of the land we live on. Whether it’s the natural elements at Callaway Gardens, or a good home cooked meal, or maybe even taking the same steps that Roosevelt once took, we take great strides in protecting the wildlife and we appreciate the land in which we are given. If you love to collect antiques, then downtown Pine Mountain is the place for you.  We have several antique and specialty stores to shop for that unique gift to take home to remember your visit. Here, we are family and will welcome any guests that happen to travel through here! Living here has a lot of advantages! We are able to escape reality and get back to nature as we all should do every now and then.

    It sounds like a statement that emphasizes the importance of adults having access to things that are valuable. It could be interpreted as a reminder that adults should not be denied the opportunity to enjoy things that are considered precious or valuable. It’s a good reminder that everyone deserves to have access to things that bring them joy and happiness, regardless of their age.

    Planning a winter getaway is an adventure in itself. The snowy landscapes add a magical touch to the family bonding experience. You nailed it. meticulous planning is key, and being ready for unexpected twists, like a surprise blizzard, keeps the excitement alive. Any memorable winter destinations you’d recommend?

    Great place for kids. My 2 and 4 year old tried every water slide, pool, and toy. They loved the beach as well with the calm, warm waters. It was far from a relaxing trip but this one was all about the kids.

  • wu7917

    I live in Jacksonville and there is no longer a ‘lively waterfront’. The shops and restaurants were demolished after a mass shooting at one of the establishments. Head to the beach not downtown!! There is a lovely historic district called Avondale/Riverside area. It is absolutely beautiful with shops and restaurants and a beautiful park with a kick a** playground! The neighborhoods sit on the St John’s River. The old homes are big and beautiful. I walk that area regularly and have lived there. Stunning!!!

  • Evden Eve

    Howdy! I simply wish to offer you a huge thumbs up for the great information you have got right here on this post.
    I am returning to your site for more soon.

    I agree with every word in this blog, I tried to travel to Saudi Arabia with this topic in mind. I thought a lot about choosing a sustainable activity. So I texted Ootlah website to ask them about sustainable activities and they recommended enjoying the desert in Jeddah, which causes almost no harm to the environment. I booked and tried it and it was significant.

  • Mr and Mrs Chris & Sharon Peck

    Thank you. We might get there, and we might not. Hope so.
