Your home away from home. Live in the city and tired of the traffic and busy life? Get away from it all and come on over to Nell's House. Are you working in the Shelby area? Give up that cramped motel room and come on over to Nell's House.
So close, yet so far away.
Here is a place to sit back and relax and watching the horses graze in surrounding meadows. The nights are peaceful with only the sound of nature and the light of the stars. The days are opportunities for hiking, exploring, fishing, or just relaxing. Nells House is intimate and informal.
GUEST INFORMATION: Is it time to get back in touch with your what life was like in a gentler and quieter time.
Nell's House is your place to be when visiting Shelby, North Carolina, for business, pleasure, American Legion World Series Baseball, Cleveland County Fair or when passing through Cleveland County.
Hafta Mosey Farm, on which Nell's House is sitting, is your place to be when visiting Shelby, North Carolina, for business, pleasure, or when passing through Cleveland County.
Nestled on a farm, Nell's House lets you escape the day-to-day rat race and provides you with a memorable country experience. You can relax on the porch, nap the afternoon away, or sit and watch the cows, horses and if you are lucky, you may even see deer, all from your chair on the back deck.
While suitable for any traveler, the home is perfect for families who need affordable, flexible and friendly lodging. The home consists of two nice-size bedrooms with 1 king bed and 1 double bed and a third bedroom with bunk beds for the children. There is a television with basic cable in the cozy den. The eat-in-kitchen contains all cookware, utensils and kitchenware, and all linens and towels are supplied. There is a large, centrally located bath with double vanity and tub with shower.
However, the greatest amenities are outside the home as it is situated on a dirt road just a short turn off the main road in a quiet community with a deck off the kitchen, presenting pictorial views of woods and pastures where horses quietly graze.
Pets are not allowed in the home, but please inquire about suitable arrangements on site.
If you are traveling with horses, email us about stabling located right across the road. Coggins and health certificate required.

I just had an excellent stay at Nell's Farm House. The house is very comfortable and quiet. I cooked several meals while there and was able to find everything I needed in the kitchen. It is well-stocked, clean, and fully operational. I am originally from Shelby, and being at Nell's was like being back home for me. Look forward to going again when I make a trip down to work on the family tree! Thank you Debi for your kind hospitality!Recommended for: Age 55+, pet owners, girls getaway, families with young children.

We had a great time visiting family in NC. We looked around for Hotels close by and none of them had good reviews AND would take pets. The ones that took pets looked kind of icky :( So i decided to check out VRBO. Low and behold....there was 1 place in Shelby. Nell's! It was great! Debi was very nice and genuinely excited we were coming. She welcomed us with kindness and enthusiasm.....but she was very good about giving us our space after a 9 hour car ride :) The beds were REALLY comfortable and the house was SO quite. It was REALLY nice after spending a day with a 4 year old. Debi moved her horses to the back pen, so every morning we would wake up, look out the back door, and see the horses. That was awesome! I would HIGHLY recommend this place! Thanks again Debi!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, pet owners, families with young children.

We had a BLAST staying at Nell's. The area is beautiful, and house is close to Gardner-Webb where our son goes to school. Both Debi and Harold are friendly and very accommodating. We enjoyed being able to fix our son home-cooked meals (what he misses most from home). Able to step out the door to walk in the countryside, or hop in the car to see trees changing color across the state. Will definitely be staying here whenever we visit in the future.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

very nice to have a place to stay for 11 days while working the cleveland county fair. everything was just as the post said. nice to have a fully furnished kitchen for some home cooked meals. harold and debi were great hosts, as well as the family dog maddox (who we looked forward to seeing every day!) far enough out in the country to be nice & quiet yet close enough to town to not have a long drive for errands. if you get a chance while there try out "smoke on the square" restaurant in downtown! the shrimp and grits are to die for!Did you find this review helpful?

We chose this property because of it's proximity to Gardner-Webb University in nearby Boiling Springs. Both Debi and Harold were very informative and willing to answer all our questions about the surrounding area. We ran into a last minute problem that we feared would be an issue, but instead they were very understanding. Upon arrival the house was clean and exactly as described in the ad. Over the course of several days Debi gave recommendations on places to eat, and places to go. Our stay was pleasant and relaxing, especially sitting out on the elevated deck. We recommend it to anyone needing to stay in the area as opposed to staying in an area hotel.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, pet owners, families with young children.

just wanted to let lookers know how accommodating debi has been to us! we had a very unique situation and it did take several phone calls and emails but we have settled on something there. we are going to be staying there for several days (12) and looking forward to a "home" setting instead of motel room while in town. can't wait to write another review after our stay to let people know how nice it is! :)Did you find this review helpful?

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1975
About the owner: Nell's house, located on Hafta' Mosey farm, is hosted by Harold and Debi Metcalfe, founders of Stolen Horse International, Idaho, pictured here with Debi, was stolen from us in 1997. She was recovered 51 weeks later. Her theft is the foundation for the nonprofit organization that assists thousands each year.
Why the Owner Chose Shelby:
This home has been part of our family since it was built in 1975. Nell, lived in the house alone most of that time until she suffered a stroke in 2004. She was diagonised with Alzheimer;s Disease and and passed away in 2011. Nell's Farm House relfects her wonderful life with from the vintage dishes to the pictures. We kept as much of Nell in the house as we could but also mixed in our love of horses into the house. It is an interesting mix vistors enjoy.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Peace. Quiet. Crickets singing. No smog. No traffic. Dirt roads to walk on without cars whizzing by. Trees. Green fields.
