Revival Stay
A fellow preacher and I helped in a revival at a local church. This was a great place for us to rest and refresh between services. My family and his wife loved the stay. It was comfortable and clean and offered the quietness and peace that we needed.

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.

Wonderful
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!
