Outstanding experience. Owner communication was exceptional. The property is historic yet equipped with everything modern needed for an awesome weekend. Amazing experience for a Pinehurst golf weekend. Will definitely stay there again!
Absolutely incredible stay in Pinehurst. The mansion was beautifully maintained, spacious, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Every detail felt thoughtfully done from the comfortable rooms to the amazing gathering spaces inside and out. The location was ideal and made the entire trip even better. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again!
If you are looking for THE house, this is it. I can't even describe it other than it's one of a kind. Perfect for large family's, golf outings or work retreats. Downstairs has a pool table, card table, theater room and a really cool speakeasy hidden behind a wall. Located in the Village, plenty of parking, we will be back soon!
I rented the Thistle Dhu Mansion for 3 nights for 10 adults and 6 kids. From the first day I located the rental on Vrbo and secured my stay, Mike, the host, emailed me immediately. He kept reaching out with helpful hints on the property and things to do in the area all the way up to check-in. Several days before check-in the communication cadence pick-up which was super comforting to me that I didn't need to track him down. And during the entire stay, Mike reached out to me daily. The property was top notch and my family enjoyed the entire experience. I would highly recommend it and I probably will rent it again myself in the future.
