Built in 1890 by St. Johns Lutheran Church (the middle of Mahone Bay’s famous three churches), Three Thistles was home to pastors and their families for more than one hundred years. Don and Isabelle purchased the home in 2000, renovating it to keep the Victorian character they treasure and adding the contemporary luxuries their guests appreciate. 

This historic home features many original details and is comfortably furnished with antiques, handmade quilts and local artwork. The cozy charm of the house and gardens gently echoes the past and creates a relaxing setting to enjoy the music, books and conversation that enliven the day at Three Thistles.
 

Don and Isabelle

Don and Isabelle’s love affair with Nova Scotia and old houses began more than a decade ago, luring them away from an urban lifestyle and work in the theatre, teaching and communications. Phyllis Wiseman, winter innkeeper, is a native of Nova Scotia. Your hosts share their enthusiasm for this enchanting province and are happy to make suggestions for dining, sight-seeing and antiquing.
