This property is well maintained and provided us with the perfect place for our annual trip to the Finger Lakes. We loved the proximity to sites like the Falls and Ithaca. The cottage has great views in every room! There is plenty of room for a family of 4 or 6 to spread out and relax! The lake are was private and had ample space. We would stay here again in the future!

The cottage is full of personality and charm with lovely views of the lake. The location was perfect for our touring around the Finger Lakes and for quiet mornings and relaxing evenings. You need a vehicle that can navigate a rocky driveway and legs that can handle lots of steps.

We've spent a week at Twin Pines cottage, a family of 4. We really enjoyed it. Communication with the owners is easy, they respond very quickly and provide detailed info. The cottage sits on a beautiful spot. We dont do wineries but regardless, we've had other fun activities everyday of the week- horseback riding, fishing charter, sunset sailing tour, pontoon boat and tube rental, a visit to local Alpaca farm, Ithaca Farmer's market, Discover Cayuga eco lake tour and so on. We enjoyed our barbeque on the beach and explored nearby forest a bit. What a great time! Thank you very much, Dennis and Ed for allowing us to stay here.

Visited with a friend- both of us needed a “reboot” to de-stress and re-energize. What a great retreat! The cottage was wonderful and filled with character (unique, comfortable, clean, well furnished). The area was beautiful and definition of serene. The hosts were friendly, helpful with referrals for the area, and accessible if needed. They are obviously committed to being good hosts and commited to being great spokes persons for the Finger Lakes and Ithaca area. Time at Twin Pines was 10+ !!
