General Information

Nestled in the quaint and quiet little town of Granite Falls, NC, Thistle House B&B is a picturesque home on a 3 1/2 acre landscaped hillside with a goldfish pond, and a wedding pergola. In the spring when the azaleas and mountain laurel are in bloom or in the autumn when the leaves are in full color, it is a relaxing place to stay over on the way to your destination, or to get away for a few days of quiet time to regroup and relax.
Built in 1920 with brick arts and crafts styling, Thistle House is furnished with antiques and reproductions taking the visitor back to a by-gone era.
Decorated with the lover of "all things Scottish" in mind, the visitor will find a little bit of Scotland right here at home, "in our home."
