Great Stay-Awesome views and plenty of space. The house was exceptionally clean. The host was very responsive to my many questions and accommodating. I would stay again no doubt.
Wonderful stay! Well maintained old home with great character. Loved the views in every direction with coffee in the morning. The hosts communicated everything you need to know and are very responsive to any need you have. Highly recommend!
This was one of the loveliest stays we've ever had. Clean, beautiful and comfortable. Every detail thought of. Fixtures were high end. Grounds were incredibly beautiful. And hosts were super repsonive and helpful! I can't say enough about our stay! 10/10!!
We had an amazing time staying at Nellies! The house takes you back in time. The views are spectacular! The house is clean, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen had plenty of amenities. Will most likely stay here again!
Scenery was beautiful and relaxing. The house itself is beautifully furnished and had everything you could ask for. Our only request would be to have the porch screens in.
Beautiful craftsman home with completely updated appliances and everything we needed for a family getaway- we had 5 adults and two kids. Kelly was gracious and flexible with check in/out times and super responsive. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay near the Potomac Eagle railroad
We really enjoyed the atmosphere of this cozy place. Well furnished, comfy beds, well-stocked kitchen and cozy fireplace to offset the cold weather outside.
My husband and I had a lovely time staying here. The hosts have paid superb attention to detail both in the renovation of the home as well as the setup to make it a VRBO. The views of the snowy mountains and valley were incredible, and we had a delightful time watching the deer and the birds at the birdfeeder.
This property is very nice. The home has been remodeled and the renovation was very well done. The original charm has been retained while many modern conveniences have been added. The house has all new appliances, the cookware, glasses and utensils are all of good quality. The location was perfect for our group. Quiet, comfortable, and well appointed.I added a photo to illustrate a view out of one window from inside the home. We will definitely return for another stay.
Wow what a gorgeous home. The hosts have thought of everything and clearly have impeccable taste. Nellie’s feels cozy and luxe at the same time. The views are phenomenal and the hot tub was soooo relaxing. Gorgeous bathroom and comfortable beds. Everything we could have asked for a more.
My family (husband, son, daughter, daughter in law, son in law, and two grandchildren came for a holiday trip to ride the train to the North Pole. We loved the house, original charm with all the modern upgrades. The hosts thought of everything we might need. We’d love to visit again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this immaculate and beautifully decorated home. The owners have done a wonderful job of keeping the home’s historic charm while at the same time offering all the modern conveniences. We enjoyed movies, puzzles, and games, but the most special memory was soaking in the hot tub while taking in the spectacular farm and mountain views at sunset! It was just what we needed to get away and relax with family! Kelly was accommodating and quickly answered any questions. I highly recommend this property if you are looking to stay in the area!
