Holiday Inn Club Vacations Apple Mountain Resort

If you’re looking for a mountain resort with fresh air, gorgeous scenery and fun activities for all ages, head over to Clarkesville, Georgia. Yes, that’s right … Georgia! Located near the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains (and just 90 minutes from downtown Atlanta), Apple Mountain Resort is the best spot for outdoor family fun with year-round hiking trails, nature tours, state parks, scenic views and much more.

This laid-back mountain resort sits on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest and features activities for the whole family. Enjoy a round of golf on the 18-hole course, horseback riding through the foothills or a game of basketball, volleyball or tennis. And with mini golf, an arcade, movie theater and activity center all onsite, you’re bound to find fun at every turn.

Plus, there’s never a shortage of things to do nearby. During fall months, see the changing foliage and venture out to the Bavarian-style town of Helen, Georgia, for Oktoberfest. In the summertime, take the kids on a horseback adventure to nearby Tallulah Falls. And explore even more things to do in Clarkesville, Georgia, like the vineyards, rivers, trails, and one of its top attractions: an alpaca farm.

Back at the resort, enjoy your spacious two-bedroom villa and full-sized kitchen, in addition to a washer and dryer included in select villas and free laundry facilities available onsite. Wi-fi, parking and a beach shuttle are all free for guests, too.
