The Nellie House. An historic cottage in the Heart of Elkin
You can't ask for a better location to experience all that Elkin, NC has to offer than The Nellie House. Located on historic Gwyn Avenue, this home is mere steps from downtown Elkin, voted one of the best small towns in North Carolina time and time again. Experience downtown with all of the restaurants, pubs, a wine bar, and much more! Or enjoy a hike on the Mountain to Sea trail or perhaps a kayak trip on the mighty Yadkin river which is less than a mile away. There's never a shortage of things to do! The Nellie House is also located only a few doors up the street from the Elkin Vine Line. This business will transport you and your crew to all of the local wineries for tasting and tours! The Nellie Home herself was constructed in 1910 and maintains many of the historical character of a house that is over 110 years old. Hardwood flooring throughout. Super high 14 foot ceilings. Beautifully decorated and ready to accommodate a family or friends weekend out. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs with closets and television in one of the bedrooms. Darkening shades are installed on the windows. There is a 3rd area downstairs that could be used as a quiet space. It is not temp controlled but for the most part doesn't need to be. Many potential uses for this room. It remains cool in the summer and warm in winter and is equipped with a twin size day bed. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless appliances. There is a large deck on the rear of the home with a gas grill for your enjoyment and a natural area outside with a fire pit. Wi-Fi and streaming TV is included. Pets that go outside to potty are accepted with a $125 non-refundable per visit fee
We were in the area for a wedding and this property provided a relaxing stay. The owners thought of all the little details a visitor would need.

Winery visit
The property was clean and nicely decorated. The little niceites in the bathroom. Were a special touch. The back deck was quiet and comfortable. The only issue was the basement had a very strong mildew smell.

Great neighborhood in a great area to explore
The Nellie House is a good base for exploring Elkin and its eateries and walking paths and the surrounding area, including Winston-Salem. We visited when the fall foliage was stunning and enjoyed our time there. The house has plenty of space and a good kitchen. I didn't like that the dining table was in a nook off the living room, far from the kitchen, but that wouldn't bother everyone. Neither of us could stand the smell that hit us when we entered the house. Eventually we found the electronic scent dispensers and removed them for the duration of the stay (and replaced them before leaving). When we tried to air out the house, Jason texted that his wife had driven by and saw that we'd propped open the door. It made me uncomfortable to be spied upon by a host. In the many years of renting, that has never happened to us in quite that way. In conclusion, the house has good qualities, but we were not completely comfortable there.

Awesome location!
We love the Nellie House, it was our second time staying there. They honestly have thought of every accommodation, and anything you may have forgotten. Love the location and walking distance to downtown.

Nice historic house within walking distance of downtown
Cool house with beautiful light, a nice layout and interesting historical features. The walk downtown is about half a mile down the hill (up on the way back) - just watch your step on the broken sidewalk. The hosts were very nice and generously helped us with something we forgot. At the time we stayed, the ice maker wasn’t working, so if ice matters to you, you might want to check with the hosts on this. We just grabbed a bag of ice and we’re good for the weekend. Other pros:
- Great bathroom light for seeing in the mirror
- Nice hardwood floors in most of the house
- Ceiling fans
- Water tasted fine from the tap
My main criticism is the same one I have in many short-term rentals: Tough for anyone sensitive to scents in plugin air fresheners, scented candles and perfumed laundry detergent. I get a headache from these products, so that wasn’t ideal for me. I realize that many people react differently to chemical scents and some people even enjoy them, so I just mention it for the people who have chemical sensitivities.

Cute house within walking distance of downtown
Long weekend with friends visiting some of NC wineries. The house was in a central location and the owner provided a new bottle opener and a box of new wine glasses. It was much appreciated. The house was nicely stocked and I loved the little touches of having water and a sweet snacks. Will most definitely stay here again.

You can see the mountains from here and looking out sitting room window. Lots of perks also. Snacks and water available.

Awesome location!
The Nellie House was perfectly located in downtown Elkin. Easy walk to Railyard, Angry Troll and all restaurants downtown. Beautiful home, get amenities with lots of extra thought put into it. Snacks, water, extra toiletries, in case you forgot anything. Will definitely be back to stay. Owners did a great job and very responsive when we had a question.
