About this house rental
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 of reviewsGuests loved the cozy warmth upon arrival, the lovely farm setting with horses and dogs, and the well-equipped kitchen. The hosts, Debbie and Harold, were welcoming and shared the rich history of the farm.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2021
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.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2020
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.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2018
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.

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!)
