You Won't Want to Leave!

From the moment you enter the grounds you will feel like you have been transported to an English country estate as the long drive meanders around the large pond and rolling lawns. Come and take in a peaceful retreat with abundant grounds for family gatherings, weddings and reunions or just to play a game of ball. This 5200 sq. foot, 6 bedroom home sits on 12.5 acres and features a large covered porch and patio area that overlooks the grounds and pond.

The entire house is setup for Alexa. Lots of the lights are controlled by your voice simply by saying Alexa turn on the living room lights for example. Most of the room also contain Alexa Echo's which you can have play music, tell you the weather or whatever you would like to ask her. They are setup for Amazon music so you can request Alexa to play whatever you would like and have it play in all the rooms or just the on you are in.

The home's has a main family room area with huge fireplace, large smart TV which opens into the well-equipped over-sized kitchen. A spacious dining room for the whole family and a library room with a small DVD collection, hide-a-bed with half bath.

Second floor has an additional library area with large collections of books, VHS video tapes and an air hockey table. A game room (18 x 40 feet) with bar provides for a great gathering place as well as a billiard table and foosball table. You will also find an old school VHS player along with another large smart TV in the gameroom.

The master bedroom features a theater/movie theme with raised king bed, another large smart TV and large bathroom with glass shower and separate deep soaking tub.
The bunk room is perfect for the kids with a nice wooden bunk bed and also has a smart TV. The country bedroom which is just off the gameroom has a large smart TV and a comfortable queen bed. A full bath with tub/shower combo is shared by the bunk room and country bedroom.

The lower level features a unique brick floored bedroom with queen bed, and a lodge theme which has a large smart TV and opens up to the outdoors and large deck with a hot tub and grill which overlooks a small stream and pond.

The Retro bedroom includes a double bed and queen sleeper sofa and highlights a retro theme which also opens up to the outdoors and accesses the same large deck as the lodge room.

A full bath with shower, a small kitchen and laundry room adjoins the lodge and retro rooms.

The pond has a dock with rowboat and paddle boat and allows for great fishing on a catch and release basis. You will also find lots of outdoor games and bikes in the shed so you can enjoy the outdoors a little more. Seasonally enjoy a walk around the pond and pick some blueberries. The interior of the house is 100% non-smoking. If you smoke inside the home you will be charged additional clean up fees.

Wonderful house and property for a family to stay and enjoy all the amenities. George oversees everything and he was amazing with communication, information, making us feel so welcome. Also to note, the coffee bar is an excellent addition.

Perfect Fall Getaway
Couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful spot for our weekend trip. With the fireplace, fire pit, ample supply of wood, the delightful coffee bar, and hot tub we barely wanted to leave, but walking around the property and checking out nearby parks made this a weekend worth repeating.

Big place, fun!
S'mores, fishing with the kids, lots of playing pool. Great reconnection with family. Rickets State Park had beautiful waterfalls. A bear walked right up the driveway. Some rooms were a little dated, but everything was clean.

Beautiful wedding getaway
As advertised this place is huge and is very well stocked. Has a nice layout and is sits in a quiet setting. We had a small wedding ceremony there and except for the weather it was absolutely beautiful! We got to enjoy to all that it had to offer. We got to fish, play pool and enjoy all the wildlife. As advertised we got to see deer and a black bear. The only thing I wish was that we had a few more days to enjoy here! George was very helpful, accommodating and easy to communicate with.

Family trip
Thorne Haven is a lovely home on beautiful and private grounds. It’s equipped with everything you need and more. If you’re looking for a place for a large group of people that offers space for hanging out and playing together or curling up with a good book, this is it.

We stayed here during a wedding in Eagles Mere. The property is quiet and cozy, nestled in a serene wooded area. We enjoyed our stay.
