3 Bedroom House in Shelby

Your home away from home. Live in the city and tired of the traffic and busy life? Are you working in the Shelby area, visiting a student at Gardner Webb University, attending a wedding, or a family function? Give up that cramped motel room and come on down to Nell's Farm House.
One of the best locations in Shelby! Located on a quiet, tree-lined street just outside of town, this super-comfortable, spotlessly clean, quiet, country cottage is in a historic community on a farm that has been in the family for over 100 years. The house is furnished in a vintage style to reflect the history of Nell and her family, emphasizing comfort. Nell's Farm House is intimate and informal.
Note: While we don't have many reviews on this platform, it's because we prefer booking directly through our own website or using similar platforms. We truly value personal connections with our clients!
Nell's Farm House lets you escape the day-to-day rat race and provides you with a memorable country experience. You can relax on the deck and nap the afternoon away. Here is a place to sit back and relax while watching the horses graze in the surrounding meadows. The nights are peaceful, with only the sound of nature and the light of the stars. The days are opportunities for hiking, exploring, fishing, or just relaxing.
GUEST INFORMATION: Is it time to reconnect with what life was like in a gentler and quieter time?
Nell's Farm House is your place to be when visiting Shelby, North Carolina, for business, pleasure, American Legion World Series Baseball, Gardner Webb University, Tryon International Equestrian Center, Cleveland County Fair, or when passing through Cleveland County for one of our many events.
While suitable for any traveler, the home is perfect for families who need affordable, flexible, and friendly lodging. The house has three nice-sized bedrooms: one king bed, one double bed, and a third bedroom with bunk beds for the children. The cozy den has a television with basic cable. The eat-in kitchen contains all cookware, utensils, and kitchenware, and all linens and towels are supplied. There is a large, centrally located bath with a double vanity and tub with shower.
However, one of the most outstanding amenities is outside the home, situated on a quiet road in a peaceful community. The deck off the kitchen presents pictorial views of the woods and surrounding pastures.
Perhaps one of the best features is the private deck overlooking the pasture, which provides an outdoor living and dining area to take advantage of Shelby's wonderful climate. Whether for breakfast in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, you will also enjoy the gas grill in the evening as you watch horses and deer and listen to the Katydid singing in the woods.
With a burglar alarm and code set just for you, you will feel safe and secure.
Most of our guests are repeat clients who book in advance through private referrals. We also book some through social media platforms. You will not see reviews of the guests who book through our referrals. We think we've thought of everything you will need for your visit, but if not, we can help with anything you might need while you are here. With enough notice, we will gladly stock the house with your choice of food, beverages, etc. We have lived here all our lives, so we are happy to provide any help during your stay, including restaurant suggestions, events, etc. Just ask! You will love living like a local.
We look forward to hosting you at our house.

Summary: The owners are delightful, the house was very clean, well stocked & as portrayed on the VRBO site. However, the air conditioning system is very poor. The night we arrived the AC wasn't on and after being turned on it never worked. The temperature inside the house went from 81 to 90 degrees. The owners sent over a bag of ice and a fan and finally had someone work on the outside unit around 10 pm. By 3 or so the next morning the house was cooled to 72. However each of the following days the house would start at 72 and warm up to 78-80 by the afternoon and not cool down again until 3 am. We were at an outdoor event every day and really needed to have a cool house to come back to. That made our stay very unpleasant.

Summary: Just like visiting grandmas house. The hosts were very welcoming and we loved the snacks they left us upon arrival. It took a little to get used to used to the well water (I’m used to the city). Overall it was a nice trip and had plenty of space for my family of 6.

Summary: We arrived late, long after bed time. Immediately we noticed how cozy warm the home was when we walked in tired, cold and ready to crawl into bed. It was such a welcoming warmth. The house has a comfortable familiarity to it, like going to visit family. In the morning we sat on the deck and watched the horses graze in the pasture and the dogs play in the yard while we had our coffee. The photos on the site do not do justice to the pristine condition of the kitchen appliances. Anyone who considers themselves culinary savy would have a grand time using the mid century modern equipment. Ya know, they just don't make them like they used to. The owners, Debbie and Harold, could not have been more pleasant to talk to about the rich history of the farm and the Metcalfe community.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at Debi and Harold's farm house. They were both very friendly and made us feel like family. The home was very comfortable. I loved sitting on the back porch and looking at the horses and enjoying nature. Thank you for opening up Nell's Farm House.

Summary: We were in Shelby for our daughters wedding at Slightly Differnt Nursery and the Nell's house was real close to the venue and a great place for family members to stay. We did not spend a lot of time there other than to sleep because of wedding responsibilities but it was extremely comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated and a welcome relief after wedding activities. Norman was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed.

Summary: We needed to spend a few days in the area to get our GWU student settled for the summer. The few nearby hotels didn't have room for us. (Family of 6, children ages 18-4.) I decided to check VRBO and found Nell's. No more expensive than a hotel for us, but a thousand times better. Spacious and clean. Nice sized rooms, well-equipped kitchen, large bathroom with two sinks. Best of all, room for the kids to run, throw a frisbee, chase bubbles. Quiet, a million stars at night, and there are so many lightning bugs that they look like Christmas lights in the trees. Our family will definitely stay again. We had a great time! Debi and Harold's hospitality is special.

Summary: My husband and I stayed at Nell's Farm House for four days. When we pulled into the carport Deb and Norman were right there to greet us. They took the time to show us around and to give us a brief history of the house. We had all the amenities needed for our stay, and a great deal of room. Each room was nicely decorated for comfort and well being. The beds were extremely comfortable as was all of the lovely, vintage furniture in Nell's home. I loved the large kitchen and sitting area that led to an open deck to the back yard and pasture. Deb and Norman have a great love of horses. There were several horses grazing in the pasture during the day, and again, at night. It was nice to come home at night and sit on the deck to watch the horses, as well as the hundreds of fireflies that lit the night skies. It was so calming after a hectic day of visiting relatives and sightseeing. The house is centrally located to Historic Downtown Shelby. There were a number of very nice restaurants and shops in town. A wonderful little town full of history and charm. I am a lover of history and antiques. Nell's home, as well as downtown Shelby, was the perfect place for me to be. I so enjoyed my stay in that lovely house. We intend to visit the area next Spring and have every intention of staying at Nell's House... Our home away from home. Thank you Deb & Norman for your gracious hospitality. Your kindness meant a great deal to Phil and I. I'll be in touch!

Summary: What a fantastic place with fantastic owners! We spent our Christmas Holiday at Nell's Farm House as we have family nearby. The Metcalfe's(Debi &Harold) were fantastic hosts as they had a Christmas Tree decorated and awaiting us. Wassail on the stove and a fresh evergreen wreath on the front door. This house is exactly as the pictures show. The house and surrounding farm so closely resembled the house I grew up in and spent 45 Christmas Seasons that my family decided to gather in Nell's living room for our gift giving. What a outstanding stay! It was like being back at my grandparents house again, with lots of memories. Oh and if you like special sunrises, make the coffee, open the curtain on the sliding glass door and have a seat at the kitchen table. Peer out the door and wait, it'll be there.(You can imagine it now, can't you?) Beautiful, I saw it. This is the best. House, hosts, location, surroundings, serenity, you name it. (BTW: The Metcalfe's must be fantastic people. They, like me love those tiny layer chocolate cakes!)

Summary: How we enjoyed Debi's true Southern hospitality at Nell's Farmhouse this past spring! The home is so spotless and well maintained, and the area so quiet, we're counting the days til we can return and watch the horses from the kitchen!!!

Summary: The house is in excellent shape and was perfect for our use. It is very private and quiet so sleeping at night was not a problem. Overall I would recommend this property.
