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.

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.

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!

Thanksgiving getaway

We had a really great stay in Walnut Mountain over Thanksgiving week! The property was beautiful and very comfortable. We loved hanging out by the fireplace each night. The house is located in a gated community up a steep mountain. Easy access to Ellijay and Blue Mountain, and only about 45 minutes to Dahlonega. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our Christmas at Nellie’s place

We had an enjoyable mountain stay away from the FL heat. The house was nicely decorated for Christmas. We loved the large dining room table and Mountain View’s. The town was close by for an afternoon lunch and shopping. We loved our hike at Amicalola Falls. Our host was excellent at getting back to us quickly and check in / out was a breeze. Thank you so much!

Immaculate retreat on Walnut Mountain top

Brandon was a fantastic host, his preparation and attention to detail took all the guesswork out of planning, driving and moving into our new home for the long weekend. This was our first trip with our 14month old and Brandon even set up a crib and nursery to ensure everyone enjoyed their stay. Mom loved the oversized master bathtub and we all gathered around the easy to use gas fireplace each evening. I would easily book again!

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.

Mountain Family Paradise!!!

Nellie's Place was perfect for our family of five! The thoughtful attention to detail of this home made it such a special place to stay. Walnut Mountain had amazing short trails, small water fall, fishing lakes and streams to play in during the day. The kids enjoyed the massive pool and tennis courts in the evenings. The home is located close to downtown Ellijay, Cartecay river tubing/fishing, apple barns, State parks; Amicalola falls & Fort Mountain so there is an abundance of things to do. We will be back at Nellie's Place in the future to make more memories!!!

PEACEFUL GETAWAY

This rental home is lovely. Very well equipped, with supplies (toilet paper, soap, laundry supplies, dishwashing soaps, Kleenex, etc) that aren’t often included. We especially enjoyed the beautiful fireplace since we had unusually cold weather most of our stay. The upstairs children’s room is incredibly sweet. If you are traveling with children, they will love that space. Peaceful and quiet, just the getaway we desired. We hope to return.
