Welcome to The Thistle - Easley Base Camp for Greenville Adventures & Game Day Escapes

Planning Clemson game weekend, Greenville getaway, or a cozy escape w/ family? The Thistle puts you just 18 minutes from Clemson 13 minutes from downtown Greenville's vibrant dining/ nightlife, yet nestled in charming Easley w/ tree-lined streets and a genuine sense of community. This isn't just a rental—it's your private townhome designed for guests who want modern comfort without sacrificing local charm.

THE SPACE

Welcome to a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhome spread across three thoughtfully designed floors. You'll have full access to the entire home from the moment you arrive via our smart lock system. Every inch has been curated for both relaxation and functionality—think hardwood floors, custom wood accents, and natural light pouring through six large windows.

The real showstopper? Step onto your private 3rd-floor balcony with seating for two, the perfect perch for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while you watch the sunset. The home features a private entrance, secure garage with free parking included, and dedicated workspace if you need to squeeze in a work call during your stay.

We've included the details that make a stay feel like home: board games and books scattered throughout, room-darkening shades for restful sleep, premium linens on every bed, extra pillows and blankets in the closets, and a starter set of toiletries (Dove soaps, shampoos, and body wash). Laundry facilities are conveniently located nearby, and we've included safety essentials—smoke alarm, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit.
