DON’T JUST READ YOUR PLANS. WALK THEM.

At Nell Homes, we’re changing the way you experience your custom home—before construction ever begins.

Introducing Walk Your Plans 👣

Your actual home plans are projected FULL-SCALE, 1:1 onto the floor, allowing you to physically walk through your future home in real time.

🚪 Walk through your doorways
🍳 Stand inside your future kitchen
🛋️ See how your furniture will actually fit
🛏️ Experience bedroom sizes
🚿 Check bathroom layouts
📐 Feel hallways, openings & room proportions

Because something that looks perfect on paper can feel completely different when you’re standing inside it.

This unique experience gives our clients the opportunity to catch awkward layouts, rethink room sizes, adjust door locations, improve traffic flow and make changes before construction begins—when changes are easier and far less expensive.

Building a custom home shouldn’t require you to imagine what a two-dimensional drawing will feel like.

With Nell Homes, you can walk it before we build it.™

Another way we’re bringing a better custom home-building experience to Medina County & Northeast Ohio.

What happens when a home builder and a deck builder decide to build something completely different? 👀

Welcome to Hope Hollow.

Tucked into the hills of Southeast Ohio, we’re building a one-of-a-kind luxury retreat surrounded by rock formations, woods, waterfalls and some seriously challenging terrain.

I’m Charley Nell — and this project brings together everything we’ve learned building custom homes with and creating outdoor spaces with .

Three brands. One builder. And a whole lot being built. 🔨

🏡 MEET THE NELL HOMES TEAM — DAY #2: CHARLEY NELL

Second-generation builder. Local roots. A new generation of Nell Homes.

Nell Homes was established in 1985 by John Nell, building a reputation for quality craftsmanship and custom homes throughout Northeast Ohio.

Today, Charley Nell carries that legacy forward.

After growing up around construction and spending his career in the building industry, Charley took the reins of Nell Homes with a clear mission:

👉 Become Medina County’s premier custom home builder.

But that doesn’t mean becoming the biggest. It means being the builder people recommend because of the quality, communication, attention to detail, and experience they received from start to finish.

Nearly four decades after Nell Homes began, we’re combining old-school craftsmanship with modern design, premium materials, and a personalized approach to building homes that are truly one of a kind.

Around here, building isn’t just a business.

It’s the family name. And that means something.

There were plenty of people who said this project was too ambitious, too difficult, too expensive, couldn’t be engineered, “I thought you just built decks” or just simply couldn’t be done. But every challenge became another reason to keep pushing forward.

Hope Hollow is more than just an Airbnb. It’s a place built from determination, vision, and the belief that extraordinary places are worth fighting for. Watching our crew transform this rugged hillside into something truly special reminds us that the biggest dreams always require the hardest work.

If you’ve got a dream, don’t let anyone else decide what’s possible. Keep building. Keep believing. Keep going.

🏡 Follow along as Hope Hollow comes to life. We are one step closer to becoming one of Ohio’s most unforgettable luxury home escapes.

👀 Be on the lookout for our social media pages & booking site. Bookings will start towards the end of this year! 🤞

While the crews are building your dream home, she’s making sure the experience is just as exceptional.

If you’ve ever called, emailed, picked out finishes, or wondered how we keep everything running so smoothly… chances are you’ve been working with Rose. She’s the calm in the chaos, the voice of reassurance, and the reason so many of our clients become lifelong friends.

I love the movie Groundhog Day…and this one felt a little too real.

Ever feel like you’re living the same day twice? Déjà vu hit hard on this project.

We had to install this driveway…twice.

The location and uniqueness of this build pushed me to hire a local, new excavating company. Most of my trusted subtrades are making the trip, but mobilizing heavy equipment just didn’t seem cost-effective at the time (or so I thought 🤦‍♂️).

Unfortunately, the first contractor didn’t have the experience to get it done right, or maybe it’s just how they do it “‘round here.” Improper base prep, poor compaction & no geofabric was very apparent from the start. And the truth is, when the foundation isn’t right, nothing on top of it will last…even a driveway. That’s not a risk I’m willing to take on any of my builds.

So I made the call to stop everything. No framing. No materials. Travel cancellations. Non-refundable lodging for my crews. Missed time with my kids and their sports. But moving forward without fixing it the right way just isn’t in my DNA.

We brought in a true professional, tore it out, and started from scratch. Proper grading, correct base, solid compaction…done the way it should’ve been the first time.

It cost time. It cost money. But cutting corners costs more.
