The fact that we have a little slice of heaven in the great state of Georgia that can still be kept under the radar is why we love this state so much. If you want to check out someplace intriguing, but also fascinatingly beautiful at the same time, then Dunaway Gardens in Georgia is the place to go.

Located a mere 30 minutes outside of Atlanta, you'll find the enchantment that is Dunaway Gardens.

This majestic garden is actually one of the largest natural rock-and-floral gardens in the South.

The history behind this magical garden is even more fascinating than the beauty of the grounds. Photo Credit goes to Facebook Dunaway Gardens.

Back in the 1920s all the way through the 1940s, Dunaway Gardens was a place for Hollywood producers, directors, and performers to come and practice their craft.

The grounds were so alluring, that many creative minds found solace and sanctuary during the Golden Years.

Over the years, the entire garden was restored to its natural beauty, and people from all walks of life could enjoy the lush greenery in abundance.

One of the most intriguing spots in the garden is the giant reflection pool carved into a huge granite outcropping, perfect for sitting in silence and enjoying the afternoon.

No matter the time of year, there is still an allure to Dunaway Gardens that can't be beat.

It is like Georgia's very own secret garden.

The gardens have hosted a wide array of people over the years from ballet troupes to even Walt Disney and Minnie Pearl.

I can't think of a better place to get married—in the middle of #Georgia woods, surrounded by friends and loved ones.
