Apple Mountain Resort, Clarkesville, Georgia

Home of Blue Ridge Mountain Outings

Thinking about taking the family to the mountains for the first time? If the Rockies are out of reach, have you considered Georgia? Yes, Georgia! Just 90 minutes from downtown Atlanta, Northern Georgia’s gentle Blue Ridge Mountains are the perfect place to ease into outdoor family fun with year-round hiking trails, eco tours, lakes, state parks and beautiful views.

Set up camp at our laid-back and cozy Apple Mountain Resort, situated on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest. During fall months, it’s the perfect place to see foliage or visit the Bavarian-style town of Helen, GA, for Oktoberfest. In the springtime, be sure to check out the beauty of nearby Tallulah Falls. And once you take the kids on a summertime horseback ride, you’ll be glad you chose the trail less traveled.
