Superb mountain rental.

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.

Great Place for Fall Vacation

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.

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!

Summer getaway

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.

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.

We enjoyed our Christmas at Nellie’s place

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. The town was close by for an afternoon lunch and shopping. We loved our hike at Amicalola Falls. Our host was excellent at getting back to us quickly and check in / out was a breeze.

Glitch with the Lock -- Otherwise Perfect!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Brandon Liesenfelt

Host profile image
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.
