I grew up in a resort town on a chain of lakes in northern Wisconsin. I've always wanted my family to have memories of summers at the lake. I was able to make that dream come true and I'd like to make it possible for you and your family, too. Come to Talihaven and build memories. My pronouns are she/her.
