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.

Thistle House was the perfect house to spend Thanksgiving with family. Thistle House host Molly was easy to communicate with. Check in was easy and the house fit our needs. Thank you Molly for coming by to shovel the driveway. That was a nice gesture! We will definitely recommend Thistle House for any friends or family traveling to Geauga County!
