| 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’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.
