This was our family's third stay at this amazing house. Local stores and restaurants are not far from the house. We will stay here again.

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!

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!

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!

We were looking for a house with two bedrooms and two baths for a girlfriends getaway weekend to visit the Geauga County Maple Festival. Thistle was located easily within walking distance of the square as well as all local county attractions were easily accessible. I live in Atlanta now but grew up in Chardon.The house had character and comfort. While it was too cool to take advantage of the ample outside area, outdoor seating for warmer weather abounds. We did enjoy the front porch.We used the two downstairs bedrooms and did not move into the upstairs at all. Lots of room up there, but no bath and rather narrow stairs.The beds and bedding were good as was the towel supply and overall bathroom experiences. Great water pressure for showers and lots of hot water.The kitchen was well-supplied to allow for most cooking needs and included a small eat-in area.I liked the decor and felt this house provided us with fun memories of our Chardon weekend and I would stay there again if visiting Chardon with friends. Molly was extremely easy to work with and the house was everything we wanted and more. Very quiet too.

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.

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.

Very charming old home in a quiet community. After a week of hotels with 3 kids this was a very welcome place to stay. I tripped a few times walking from the kitchen to the living room because of a large awkward transition, but i lived! But the home was fun to stay in, old and historic, but clean and welcoming.

Cozy Chardon Cottage

Cozy Chardon Cottage

We had a lovely stay at Thistle House. House was very clean and decorated with a pleasing mix of modern and antique features. Host made very good use of small spaces. House was well-appointed to meet guests needs with soaps, lotions, shampoos. Kitchen was filled with cooking oils and staples. Host provided fresh eggs and a delicious pumpkin bread upon arrival. This is a cozy antique home with smaller spaces, and uneven flooring which may be difficult for certain folks to navigate. Heating, a/c, TV, stove, kitchen appliances all worked great. Did not use the washer/dryer located in basement. Backyard has outdoor seating, firepit (we did not use) and very spacious for outdoor activities. Quiet residential neighborhood, just a short walk into Chardon Square with coffee shop and restaurants.

Cute Place Within Walking Distance to Chardon Square

Cute Place Within Walking Distance to Chardon Square

This property is located not far from Holden Arboretum and local wineries. We stayed here for a friends’ weekend getaway and there were three separate bedrooms so we could each have our own space. It was really cute and had a lot of character. The host left out homemade banana bread for us to enjoy! We only noticed two very minor issues and I’ll include them here only for practical planning purposes. First, this is a very old house, so the floors are uneven and there are significant thresholds between every room. This may be a challenge for people with mobility issues. Second, the upstairs bedroom didn’t have many electrical outlets and was quite stuffy (but there is an air conditioning unit you can have hooked up if you ask). We just opened the windows and that was fine for mid-May. So, the age of the home is what makes it unique and charming in mostly good ways. But be aware that it has not been completely gutted and redone. However, it’s a great place if you are ready to embrace the quirks that come with a really old home.
