About this property

The Thistle House off Chardon Square

Welcome to The Thistle House named in honor of Chardon, the French word for thistle. We invite you to enjoy a spacious, 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home in the heart of Geauga County. The large serene backyard has outdoor seating, outdoor eating space and a fire pit. The second story balcony is a cozy spot off the upstairs master for a cup of coffee or glass of wine.

Nearby restaurants, shops, parks, walking trails, golfing, festivals, and more will make you want to stay longer. We look forward to hosting you and suggesting anything from a great restaurant to a fun part of Northeastern Ohio to explore. Come and visit our nearby Newbury farm to see the chickens, ducks, horses, donkey, pigs and more!

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 March 2026
Thank you for your stay, Jill! It’s so hard to have mattresses that match every guest’s preferences. We will check them out and make sure they are comfortable. We like to provide all different types of mattresses and pillows in the house so that everyone will be satisfied. We hope to host you again.

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.
