Nellie’s Place is a 10 all the way. Our host Brandon was always in touch with the needed information and even checked to make sure we got in the property ok. The house is beautiful and very clean. It was a perfect spot to rest and recharge!
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 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!

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cabin, the nearby trails, and the local wildlife. We’d love to host you again for another peaceful getaway!
Absolutely beautiful property. House was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Owner responded quickly when we had an issue with the gate. Our son enjoyed the games upstairs and the kids room. I do wish the secondary bedroom upstairs had a TV, but we ended up just going and buying one. We will definitely return.

About the host
Hosted by Brandon Liesenfelt
My parents purchased this property for the quiet and peaceful location in the mountains. My wife and I manage the property along with Linda's Place next door. We love this location for great family getaways and think you will too!
Why they chose this property
We love the private community, the serene location, and that it is in the mountains but only a short drive to great places like Ellijay and Blue Ridge! The location offers peace and quiet but also amenities like Smart TVs and Wifi. Walnut Mountain allows their guests to use their 4 private lakes to fish without a license, play tennis, basketball, or swim in their community pool during the summer all complimentary.
What makes this property unique
The whole family can safely enjoy this property nestled in the woods. It is nice to have the tennis courts, basketball court, and kids play area only a short drive from our location. We also love the communal olympic swimming pool in the summer. The lakes are great for fishing and there are plenty of hiking trails to explore and see the wildlife.
