In the dining room you will find a round table for 6 surrounded by windows. There is even a baby highchair provided. The living room seats 6 and has a 50 inch Smart TV and gas fireplace. The sunroom allows guests to enjoy the beautiful scenery without having to even go outside. There is also an outdoor deck that provides two shade umbrellas, a picnic table, and seating area to relax and enjoy the fresh air. Use the gas grill to make a delicious meal!

The master bedroom on the main floor has a comfy queen bed and private bathroom featuring two sinks, jetted garden tub, and separate shower. Also included in the master bedroom is a 55 inch TV, sitting area, and a private covered balcony to enjoy the mountain views. The main floor also offers a half bath with laundry room attached.

The secluded location offers peace and quiet with plenty of wildlife, especially deer, birds, squirrels, and chipmunks. You'll be just a few minutes drive from complimentary tennis courts, a basketball court, a playground, and a seasonal pool (open Saturday of Memorial Day weekend in May til Labor Day in September). There are also several lakes on the Walnut Mountain property where you can fish without a license. There is a trout fishing stream at the entrance to Walnut Mountain near the picnic area. (Georgia fishing license with trout stamp required). You will also find several hiking trails on the property and even a small waterfall.

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 .

Our stay at Nellie's Place was lovely. Brandon was very easy to communicate with, and the home was furnished comfortably; We felt at home. The location is very convenient, close to restaurants and hiking, etc. Plus, the community offered a playground for our kids. We would happily stay there again.

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.

Everything was fantastic in this cabin. Such an easy getaway from Atlanta and we look forward to coming back! We have a 1 and a 5 year old, and having the crib and high chair was extremely convenient. The host has an eye for details and makes sure the guests have everything they need during the stay. There were labels everywhere, which we appreciated! The cabin is beautiful and very comfortable. The Fall foliage was beautiful during our stay. We loved lighting up the fireplace every evening after a day of activities. Thank you for being such amazing hosts!

Perfect home!
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!

My sister and I planned a surprise Mother’s Day weekend get away for our Mom. The house was perfect and we enjoyed our stay so much we never left the house until we were ready to come home. My only suggestion as we have a VRBO we rent out. I wish there has been a lamp in the kids room where I stayed. Thank you for a wonderful place where great memories were made. Angie Gregory

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.

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.

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!

Fall Break getaway
Property was gorgeous. Very clean, very cozy, and contained all the extras you could ever imagine. When we couldn’t turn on the fire place, I reached out to Brandon, who happened to be on the way up to work on a different property. He stopped in and re-lit the pilot light. Very personable young man. The deer strolling through the property were always a welcomed sight. We attempted to fish, but didn’t get a bite. Overall, we had a great stay!!!
