We LOVED staying at Thistle Hill. I can't say enough nice things about our host, Leslie- she is exceptional! She is just a lovely person and so thoughtful, not to mention- she is also a gourmet cook! She really made our stay at Thistle Hill very memorable. The location is ideal: peaceful, quiet, with a view of the TX Hill Country. We heard songbirds during the day and screech owls at night. The studio was clean, spacious, homey and was basically a little slice of heaven!
