This was one of the nicer houses we stayed in. Location was great. Trails around the development were fun. Saw lots of deer. House was nicely furnished and had everything we needed.

Everything was nicely appointed and was very family-friendly. The coffee selection was awesome.
We enjoyed the house. The space was great for 2 couples. The lay out is nice. With work areas and area to relax. The deer stopping by was a great plus.
Loved our stay. Beautiful woodland setting. Sit on the deck and watch the wildlife drift through the yard. Cabin was beautifully decorated and so clean ❤️Visited Ellijay for shopping and great restaurants. Will keep this as one of our favorites
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.
Absolutely loved this place it was beautifully decorated and had such a cozy feel .
Pictures don’t do it justice it’s so much prettier in person. The host was quick to respond to any questions everything was set up for our stay perfectly. I would absolutely recommend and hope to stay again in the future .
The property was perfect! It was just as advertised, had a wonderful cozy and comfortable feel, was well stocked and very relaxing. I have already suggested to other people that they consider booking it.
I would definitely rebook this property. My daughter and I loved it. Thank you for a great experience.

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!
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.
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.
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!
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin in Ellijay! It was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed — the kitchen was so well stocked. The views from the deck were gorgeous and peaceful, and we loved how close it was to downtown Ellijay for restaurants and shops. Perfect mix of comfort and convenience — we can’t wait to come back!
The cabin was clean and very comfortable. All the amenities we needed were there. Enjoyed the many hiking trails and deer in the neighbor. We had a wonderful time there.
