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.

Charming house in charming town

We absolutely loved this house!! Incredibly comfy beds, kitchen stocked with everything you could need, great sheets and towels, and plenty of bath products. It was a short walk into town with a delicious coffee shop right on the square.

Such a charming stay!

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!

Wonderful stay

We had a nice stay at the Thistle House. It was a cute little house that has been updated nicely. The location was perfect for walking into town. The fresh loaf of bread was delicious and the kitchen was well stocked. The automatic thermostat was a bit annoying when trying to keep a consistent temperature. It was hard to regulate the temperature at night-went from cool to hot. I stayed with my parents, toddler, infant and husband. Overall we had a lovely stay.

Great stay for a laid back girls weekend!

A group of 6 stayed over for a night and we had a great time! The house was clean and well-cared for, Molly was so easy to work with in planning, and we loved the cute yard and neighborhood! Definitely would stay here again for a weekend getaway, especially in the fall with the changing leaves :)
