Wonderful property

Amazing place, clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed and it was a great place to visit with family. We loved that we could explore outside with the geese and horses. The kids won’t stop talking about it. The owners were wonderful and quick to respond to any questions or needs. They even had great recommendations for the area.

Loved it

This is the type of property I could live there and be very happy. Our little dachshund had a ball rounding up the horses until she found out she was doing it by herself and made a dead run for the house. If you love the country this is the place for you.

Perfect retreat from the city

I requested the house both for the calm, country location but also because there was a lot of room in the living area. We were having a weekend of playing board games and wanted space to play them all. We had a wonderful stay and everything was very nice. The house was very clean and beautifully furnished. The owners were very responsive to all text for requests, such as setting up the fire pit. It was very fun to drive up and immediately have a horse come up to the fence to greet us. All the appliances worked well and the grill was great for making burgers. We definitely would come back and enjoyed our time very much.

Wonderful ranch home

We absolutely loved our stay at the Thistle House! The home was exactly like the pictures show but the views were even better. As we drove up the driveway we could see horses, a donkey, who we later learned was Daisy, geese, ducks and cows in the distance. They visit daily close by so make sure to say hi! The home was clean, inviting, spacious and met our needs well. Glen and Jennifer were very quick to respond and act on any issues or concerns. Being dog friendly was very important to us as our 2 dogs loved the open fields and the fenced in yard. Enjoyed a fire and lots of star gazing! We will definitely be back!

Location was nice. House was lacking.

Horses got through fence twice and rubbed on cars damaging one mirror and got into ice chest. WD had to run they out of yard and tie fencing backup. Outside trash can was full upon arrival. Fire ants are bad in yard. Lawn in back yard needed mowed badly and was full of dog poop. Let my dog out it stepped in the poop then I got charged for damaged wash cloth that had dog poop on it which I had to use to clean my dog’s foot off. Also got charged for another wash cloth that had makeup on it (they said it was an $8 towel) also charged for two blanket that had a small amount of dirt on them. Easily would have washed out in laundry. Property owner was just looking for an easy damage insurance claim for extra money in my opinion. So if you stay here be sure you take out the extra insurance damage as I did. Beds were comfortable oth

Sorry to hear all the problems you had. You never said anything to us. Your dogs left messes inside and out. We have never had a guest leave such a mess before. We have also never had to make a claim before. We welcome dogs...just not so many! We apologize for anything that didn't meet your standards. As you can see from every other review, we have never had anything like this come up before.

Lovely farm getaway

We needed to head up north for a few days and were lucky enough to be able to stay here. It's beautiful place to stay with a well furnished home on a secluded property. Our pups enjoyed the vast open spaces, with a fenced in back yard for when we'd prefer they didn't roam too far. Cows and horses complete the serene and rural setting. It was a little cold when we visited in December so weren't able to enjoy the pond with outside firepit, but we hope we'll be able to visit again during warmer months. Highly recommended getaway from the hustle and bustle!

Groom family getaway

From the friendly horses grazing and the ducks and geese swimming in the pond, to the oh so comfortable beds and more than ample family gathering space, Thistle Hill Guest House was a welcome breath, a respite, a benediction for us before our son’s wedding-“as you go” … “love God and love each other.” Thank you. We plan on annual escapes here!

Country living at its best

What a great find this property was! It was a last minute trip for our family. My husband and I our daughter, son and their +ones came along for the trip and truly enjoyed it. We loved being greeted by the horses Friday morning along with the donkey. Wish we could’ve stayed longer so the boys could’ve fished but we have already decided we will be back. If you’re looking for a last minute trip up to WinStar to do some gambling or just a peaceful quiet place stay at the property here in Whitesboro. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great property! This is a lovely house on a beautiful property. Watch the ducks in the pond and horses roam the property. It was very clean with comfortable beds.

About the host

Hosted by Glen and Jennifer Horowitz

Host profile image
Glen, Jennifer and their two sons live onsite and manage Thornbridge Hill Estate where they raise Charolais cattle and Quarter Horses as well as run an event venue. Instagram Blogger @ Thornbridge Hill Estate (Jennifer) welcomes you to come stay at the estate. If you follow Jennifer on Instagram, then you know how passionate she is about interior designing. Since recently completing and moving into the new farmhouse, we have decided to open up the guest home, Thistle House, to visitors.

Why they chose this property

Not far from the hustle of Dallas, Texas. However, far enough where the city lights are non-existent at night. This makes for a very bright starry sky. Wildlife of all kinds can be seen and heard. Owls hooting at night. Coyotes howling in the distance. Birds chirping during the day. We invite you to discover what farm life is like. Just don't get insulted if we ask you to pitch in on a round up... Plus, we can help set up a winery excursion! Visit the three main wineries in St. Jo. You won't believe your are still in Texas! So much to do while visiting Thistle House.

What makes this property unique

Views out every window make this charming home fun to stay in. Enjoy some wine on the back patio as the sun sets over the pond and fountain. Need groceries delivered? Tom Thumb Grocery Store will deliver through the Insta-Cart app! Grill up your dinner on the charcoal or gas grill and enjoy eating outside under the bright stars. Light a fire at the pond and kick back, relax and enjoy life. Grab a basket and pick Pecans in the grove. Follow the creek and hunt for arrowheads. Don't worry if the horses or cattle come for a visit. They just want to welcome you to Thornbridge Hill Ranch. Maximum of 2, well behaved dogs, are welcome.
