This was the perfect place to stay for our family reunion. The house is charming and cozy and very clean. We loved the pops of color in all the rooms and how well stocked each room was. We really did not need to bring anything extra other than personal items. The kitchen had everything you need to cook a meal, bake a cake, etc. The neighborhood is beautifully landscaped and very close to the square. We would stay here again for sure!

As advertised!

An adorable, charming and well-loved cottage! It is very clean! Perfect for 6 adults. Cute town square where we went to the farmer's market and to dinner at local Bass Lodge. You won't be disappointed in The Thistle House!

Perfect stay in Chardon

We were up for a family reunion and The Thistle House was perfect. Just a block or so from Chardon square, our kids could ride their bikes freely on the sidewalks. We walked up to the square multiple times and it was just a mile from bike trail! The house had everything we needed and we really appreciated the extra touches like farm fresh eggs. Molly was very responsive with answering any questions we had. Highly recommend and we will keep The Thistle House in mind when we come back home to see family again!

We loved our stay at the Thistle House! The neighborhood was beautiful and felt very safe. The house was so charming, clean and comfortable. The owner was very accommodating as we requested an early check in and she was able to work with us. She even left some fresh eggs and zucchini bread!

Cutest Little House!

We rented the Thistle House off Chardon Square to celebrate my friend's 60th birthday. A girls weekend. The house is adorable and was perfect for the 4 of us. Molly thought of everything and was great to communicate with. There were lots of extras from toothbrushes to the homemade quick bread she left for us. The weather was cold and rainy but if it wasn't, it would have been a quick walk to Chardon Square where we went to the spa and had coffee and then dinner later.
