About this property

Fire pit! Hot tub! Game room! Kayaks!

Talihaven – With three living rooms, six bedrooms, and three bathrooms, you can bring the whole family together comfortably. Two gorgeous stone fireplaces and a cathedral ceiling bring the wow and a fabulous game room delivers the fun. The extensive coffee bar makes liking people possible.

Start your day with a delicious cup of coffee from the extensively appointed coffee bar. Step out onto the deck and let the serene and peaceful visuals of the lake do their magic; feel the tensions you arrived with slip away. If you’re lucky, a bald eagle may perch on one of our lakeshore trees right before your very eyes.

Your group will love this property; kayaking, boating, fishing and other water activities right from the house. Nearby you'll find biking, skiing, snow tubing, archery, hiking, and golfing.

The game room boasts a 12' McClure shuffleboard table, skeeball, a ping pong table, an oversize Connect 4, and ring toss, and we have corn hole for playing outside on the lawn. Plus Legos, playing cards, puzzles, and board games are available, too.

The lower level has a large 65" Roku TV.

Winter Getaway
No one could have planned the -30 temperatures when we went, so that meant we were literally holed up inside the house all weekend. But what a perfect house to be stuck in!! The kids played nonstop upstairs in the loft area-running around and playing tag. We all played shuffleboard, skee ball and ping pong. We played tons of family games and just overall had a great weekend of family bonding! Cheryl was so quick to answer and questions we had. I’d definitely recommend this place, and we already talked about heading back again possibly for a warm weather getaway in the future! Great space for big gatherings!

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Hewitt

Host profile image
I've grew up in a resort town on a chain of lakes. Having water all around makes me feel restored and balanced.

Why they chose this property

My family and extended circle needed a lot of space to accommodate all of us and when I saw the property, I fell in love with it. It needed a lot of work, because the family that built it lived out of state and hadn't kept things up. It's lovely now, but we have more plans to keep improving it.

What makes this property unique

I really love that the rooms in this house aren't overly huge. The house is 4, 044 sq. ft. but it's not cavernous. It has three living rooms on three different levels with tons of seating options. The upper lounge area has two new leather recliners, a 55" Roku TV, a gigantic LoveSac beanbag, three swings, glider rockers, and an old fashioned rocking chair. The lower level has a Pottery Barn couch that is really long and deep and two huge old leather chairs that just swallow you up and it's all in front of a beautiful stone fireplace. The main level has another fireplace that is the centerpiece of the space. It soars 25' to the roof. I love the gas fireplaces, because they're so simple to use. But what really makes this place fun is the game room. You're going to love it!
