What guests think
Across many reviews, guests describe The Thistle House off Chardon Square as a very clean, well supplied home run by a responsive host, offering an easy base for family visits and short getaways.
Guests frequently praise the comfortable beds, clear check-in, and a kitchen ready for cooking, with thoughtful extras like fresh eggs or homemade bread. The setting is close to Chardon Square's shops and restaurants, with multiple comments about a safe, quiet neighborhood and easy walks to town. A few note minor drawbacks such as warm temperatures upstairs, a hard-to-regulate thermostat at night, and narrow stairs to the upper level without a bathroom. Expect a relaxed, convenient home base near the square.

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 truly enjoyed our stay. On the last evening we walked to Element 41 and really enjoyed the downtown stroll, Chardon’s holiday lights, and a delicious meal. The antique electrical decorations in the home were very interesting.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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 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!

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 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!

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.

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!

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 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.

Yes, the only thing I would add to the kitchen would be some ziplock bags for leftovers.

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 truly enjoyed our stay. On the last evening we walked to Element 41 and really enjoyed the downtown stroll, Chardon’s holiday lights, and a delicious meal. The antique electrical decorations in the home were very interesting.

Our host Molly, was communicative and helpful. She made us feel welcome by leaving us some farm fresh eggs and a zucchini bread to get our next morning off to a good start.The home was very clean and lovingly restored.I gave our stay a 4 star instead of a 5 because of the mattresses and pillows. The mattresses were too soft and uncomfortble. We thought maybe it was our 60 plus bodies but my 30 something daughter felt the same way.
