We loved the property itself (beauty, privacy, lawn in the front, which was great for our dogs, and more natural in the back yard with a lot of trees). The home is new with many upgrades (cabinets, flooring, bathrooms, appliances, mattresses, bedding, etc.) and it was beautifully decorated. The owner supplied it with everything you could think of including everything you could need in the kitchen plus people and doggie treats. It far exceeded our expectations. The owner also was outstanding in answering all our questions thoroughly, promptly, and in a very friendly manner. Our four night stay at The Thistle House was the highlight of our trip. Our 2 little dogs loved it too!
