About this property

Log House in the Country

Nellie’s Homeplace is a historic cabin located on a 100-acre Century Farm at the base of Sauratown Mountain. The cabin holds many memories and historical significance from the last 100+ years on the farm. Nellie, the grandmother of one of the current owners, was born in the cabin and lived there for several years of her childhood. The cabin has been restored in recent years in hopes that others may too enjoy the peacefulness of the cabin nestled between the trees on the back side of the farm.

Second Time Around

This visit was our second one and it was even better than the first! We were able to stay for a bit longer this time and truly appreciate this quiet little place on the farm. It's perfect for rest, relaxation and getting away from it all.

This place is a gem! We stayed for two nights, but wish it could've been longer. It's a great place to get away to and unwind. Everything was as described and the host Vickie was very pleasant to communicate with. Certainly hope to make a return visit.

Peaceful Retreat

We stayed at the cabin for 7 weeks while we waited for our new home. I could not have chosen a better place to stay. It is very inviting and peaceful. I enjoyed watching the deer and other wildlife while sitting on the front porch. Vickie was the perfect host and very accommodating. The cabin is very comfortable. So glad we chose this as our home away from home. Thank you Vickie!

Peaceful and Quiet Cabin

The location, despite a few minutes from town, is beautiful. The cabin is located at the end of a drive through a farm that is very calming. The cabin's location is perfect...in the trees with a pond view. It has been updated to include all the necessities and is perfect for two people. It is close to lots of hiking at Pilot Mountain and Hanging Rock State Park plus lots of wineries. Vickie is wonderful to work with and is willing to provide whatever you need.

Peaceful Retreat

We had a wonderful time at Nellie’s. Me and my fiancé had a great time away for a little romantic getaway. We enjoyed fishing in the pond, they have some nice brim and bass too! I also enjoyed the outside setting, fire, beautiful lighting, and a nice relaxing swing on the hammock. Everything we needed was there. We cooked all of our meals, and stayed cuddled and cozy most the time. We had to make one run for some ketchup at the little store up the street. We definitely recommend. 10 out of 10!

Wonderful

My wife and I were attending a conference in Winston Salem, and wanted to stay away from city hubub. This cabin provided a escape from city. It was neat and clean, nicely arranged space. Very comfortable and quiet. It had basic pans, oven, microwave, plates and cups, not anything extra. Nice place overall, would recommend, there is another house a stones throw up the hill, but we were not bothered by anyones coming and going.
