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.

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!

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!
