This property is amazing. Was there with 8 adults for a golf trip and we were more than comfortable. Walking distance to the downtown stores and restaurants, private gated entrance and just an all around amazing property. Only comment is the wifi can be a little spotty but for the most part it was better than advertised. Would absolutely stay again.

Thistle Due is probably the best place we have stayed in a long time. The house is historic with period furniture and paintings. The kitchen is well equipped, but when we looked for cookie sheets, there weren’t any. The manager ordered them right away, and they were delivered in an hour! So many bedrooms and baths- really was a nice place for us to gather for our loved one’s funeral. Exceptional and beautiful sheets, blankets and towels!!! Seriously, extraordinarily soft and pristine white. Thanks so much for renting to us.

As an avid golfer with a deep appreciation for the history of the sport, staying at the Historic ThistleDhu Mansion was an absolute dream realized. Being so close to Pinehurst resort to be able to walk to the village or take a golf cart ride was so convenient. This estate is not just a place to stay; it is a meticulously preserved piece of American golf heritage wrapped in uncompromising modern luxury. Knowing that this 1919 landmark is tied to the origins of miniature golf—and that the famous putting green at Pinehurst Country Club shares its name—added a layer of historical magic to the experience that no standard luxury rental could ever match. Every detail, from the high-end linens to the fully stocked, spa-like bathrooms, was thoughtfully curated to ensure a flawless stay. The hosts, Sierra and her team, were incredibly proactive and knowledgeable, ensuring every aspect of our stay was perfect. Whether you are a history buff, a golf purist, or simply someone who appreciate

Our group of 12 had an unbelievable time staying at this historic gem in Pinehurst. Walking distance to EVERYTHING, we couldn't have asked for more. Built in 1919 and home of the first miniature golf course in America, you can feel the history around you. It's quite literally 10,000 square feet and an incredible entertainment venue. The hosts were extremely proactive and experts of the area. Looking forward to our next trip back.
