Apple Mountain sits about 36 miles north of Gainesville, GA, roughly 40 minutes via US-441 and GA-365 to I-985. Both floor plans at Apple Mountain, the Lodge and the Presidential, are available furnished or unfurnished. Let the leasing team know which you want when you apply, and ask for the exact furnished inventory list in writing before you sign, since "furnished" means something different from one property to the next.
Every unit includes a full kitchen with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher, plus a TV, regardless of furnished status. Electricity, internet, water, sewer, and trash are already set up and billed as one monthly line item alongside rent.
