Southern Tree Plantation, located in the heart of the North Georgia Mountains in Blairsville - the next town up from Blue Ridge, is an active plantation growing thousands of pumpkins and Christmas trees. Every year we look forward to taking part in all the fun things to do at Southern Tree Plantation, where you could easily spend half a day there.  Family-run and operated, the plantation is loaded with fun activities and things to do for the entire family during their Fall and Christmas seasons. Every year that we go, the kids look forward to the miniature train ride around the plantation, and the hayride is one of the best around. The rolling hills, mountain scenery, Christmas tree farm, and pumpkin patches are exquisitely beautiful as you view them from the hayride. They have a petting farm, and pony rides which are fun for small kids.  We always end up spending a long time in the park where a large inflatable slide beckons the kids to play. Take a picnic lunch and watch the kids have fun, because you'll be there for a while!  There is a wooden maze that is a lot of fun for everyone, and at the end of the day, you can take home some pumpkins for the season. There are a lot of fun things to do in Blue Ridge this time of year while staying in a luxury Georgia Rental, and visiting Southern Tree Plantation tops our list every year!
