Thistledown

ThistleDOWN… thumbs UP! Had a great stay here over a wedding weekend. The rooms had all been renovated and equipped with the latest in amenities (Wi-​Fi, DirecTV, air conditioning, etc.) The proprietors were super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.
If you’re staying overnight in Ligonier, just stop looking… book Thistledown.

Oh my goodness, could this place be any cuter?
First time staying at a B&B and I gotta say… they have set the bar sky high. The rooms are so clean and pretty, and the beds are divine — my husband has never slept in until this morning! Bathrooms are totally updated and spotless and the rooms themselves have thick walls so you don’t hear whoever is staying in the room next to yours. And the cherry on top? Dog friendly!
The owner is fabulous. So gracious and attentive to her guests — running her yarn store from the first floor, as well as overseeing breakfast in the morning.
The only two reasons I did not give this place 5 stars is because when I first arrived to the property, no one checked me in. I wandered through the first floor before grabbing my own key and hauling my things myself. Not the best way of being welcomed. The last reason is due to the noise last night. The location is great but we’re surrounded by bars — LOUD bars. We wanted to sleep with the windows down but the bands playing down the street didn’t let that happen.
Overall a great experience! Would recommend that you stay here if you’re in the area.

This is a gorgeous mansion in the heart of Ligonier. Warm and inviting, this is the quintessential B&B. Main Street USA is right outside the front door of this place. Awesome.
I had never really noticed the house in my many visits to Ligonier. But this time, my friend’s house was overflowing so he booked me a room in this gorgeous bed and breakfast.
We checked in kind of late on Thanksgiving day, so I felt like a schmuck knowing I had interrupted post-​feast football. I had to call the owner/​manager at home. But he came to give me the room in about 5 minutes. He had the keys ready and showed me to my room. I kept apologizing but he had no problem with my showing up so late — the phone number was posted on the window for late check ins.
The rooms are quiet and well equipped. The private bathroom is large, clean and comfortable. The bed was a little bit of heaven. Breakfast was in the main room downstairs that has multiple small tables, couches and chairs. Your choice of anything on the menu is included with the room. I had oatmeal because I had eaten myself into a coma the day before. The oatmeal was rather good.
There is a large parking lot around the back of the building, keeping the front lawn open to the small town American Main Street of old Ligonier. It is a perfect slice of history… the snow is falling outside and as much as I dislike cold, I’d love to spend a month here.
