Great Place for Fall Vacation

We spent 2 weeks (Oct-Nov) at Nellie’s Place relaxing and enjoying the changing fall colors and views. Our favorite pastimes were looking out through the treetops taking in the abundant signs and sounds of nature…deer, squirrels, chipmunks, falling leaves and acorns. We spoke with the property manage on several occasions as questions arose and found him to be extremely responsive and helpful. The location was an easy drive to Ellijay, Blue Ridge and numerous orchards and wineries. We will definitely keep Nellie’s Place in mind for a future visit to the N Ga Mtns.

Superb mountain rental.

The house is perfect for a small or large group. The property had all the amenities you would need and was a well sourced kitchen. We had a great time and saw lots of deer around the property. Highly recommend this property as a vacation rental in the mountains. Very convenient to Ellijay as well do you wanna as a number of local Apple orchards.

Glitch with the Lock -- Otherwise Perfect!

We booked this as a last-minute get-away. When we arrived the cyperlock did not let us in. Contacted Brandon and 10 minutes later the problem was solved and we were in. Looks like it was a problem with VRBO's keyless access system. I have an unusual phone number and the last 4 digits was just not acceptable. Brandon re-programed the lock and there was no further problem. The house is in perfect condition and very clean. The check-out process was the best ever. We just collected up the trash, loaded the dishwasher, got our stuff, locked up and left. The location is in a quiet, scenic location and quite nice. Highly recommended!

Summer getaway

It was a beautiful home in a really nice location. They had board games at the house and a foosball table, which was great for those rainy days. There was a lot to do just in the resort area itself. They had kid friendly hiking trails, nature trails, tennis courts, basketball court with adjustable height for kids. The pool was fantastic! Definitely bring your own tennis racket and balls, basketball and floats for the pool. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the grocery store and several great little towns, hiking trails, orchards, and other family friendly activities.

This was the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. Great Five Star! The only issue we had is there was a basket on the kitchen counter that said complimentary snacks. There weren't any snacks which was OK because we brought our own. Great quit place!

Peace in the Woods

Nellie’s Place contributed to our amazing vacation . The home cools down nicely during the day and the cabin has a very cozy feel to it … we enjoyed having our morning coffee in the closed on porch and watching deer and many birds. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of supplies in the kitchen to cook a wonderful family meal. The soaps and detergent from amway were delicious as well. The only down side was the smell of dog urine in the front porch and dog dander in the main living room . Both can be lessened with the fans on . The owner, Brandon was quick to respond to all of our questions and was very polite. We will definitely stay here again .

We absolutely loved our stay at Nellie’s Place!! This was our first trip to Ellijay, and we really enjoyed the town, apple festival and BJ Reece Orchards. The house was our favorite part though! My 3 boys (5, toddler and baby)were so content and cozy. This home is gorgeous with a peaceful setting, and it’s such a great setup for families. The attention to detail, notes for visitors and all the extra supplies were appreciated. We enjoyed the foosball table and fireplace most of all. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
