  We rented this cottage as a place for all of our New York family and friends to get together and relax. It was perfect. We boated over from the harbor and noticed right away it has one of the very nicest beaches on the entire shore. The house was so gorgeous, antiques and special touches. Another important thing we noticed is that the sun hits this beach during the perfect time- we wouldn't have know to look for that. We have a new baby and found everything to be secluded and quiet enough for long sleeps and we kept our windows open and listened to the lake at night. Days were spent innertubing behind the boat, swimming off the dock and wine tasting, evenings with a campfire on the beach..this was a fantastic location for all of that. We loved the feel of the home- very New York lakeside..and the owners were great. We highly recommend this lovely set of cottages to anyone looking to relax...the lake water was crystal clear and perfect.

  We had a wonderful time at Twix Pines the weekend after Labor Day 2011!! The weather wasn't perfect (rain one day) but the beach just fabulous! The beach and ease in getting to the lake for our older family members was a major draw, along with space for over 10 people between the two cottages. The cottages are very homey and we spent much time eating and playing games on the sun porch of the larger cottage. There was plenty of room for our 20 foot boat on the dock and the truck and trailer in the parking area across the street.

  I invited my extended family to join us for a long Labor Day weekend at Twix Pines for my 40th birthday. We all had a wonderful time! The property is lovely, and very well cared for. You can see the details built into these two cottages over the years. The fully operational antique windows in particular really caught my eye! We had a plenty of room for one pair of grandparents, three adult children and their spouses, 5 kids aged 7 - 12, and one big dog. Plenty of privacy, yet also plenty of places to be together. We could all sit down for meals on the porch at once.Grills worked well. The beach and landscaping is really lovely and private. We felt like we were alone the entire weekend until we took a boat ride and saw how many people there really are on this lake! Campfires every night, too! Definitely bring water shoes -- it's a pebbly beach (no sand), so you need them on the beach and as you walk into the water. There's also a little bit of seaweed off the beach, but you can swim right over it. I would definitely come back!!!

  I celebrated 'a big birthday' at this property and rented both cottages because we expected people to drift in as they may. Everyone immediately fell in love with the place. The lakefront was much better than I expected and is a huge bonus - better than any other property in the area. We had several small children and the ability to wade in or launch yourself off the dock was a real treat. The cottages were equipped for a large group; plenty of silverware, plates, pots/pans etc., that went straight into the dishwasher. The charm of the cabins made everyone feel at home and relaxed right away, setting the tone that this was going to be a low-key, low-stress week. I don't understand the complete LACK of mosquitos, but it was astonishing. I don't think anyone wore repellent, even at dusk! Miraculous. The weather was spectacular (end of July) and the lake temperature was perfect. You could stay in for hours. The cottages did get a little warm when the breeze died at dusk, but there are fans to keep it moving, and the porches had tons of windows and screens that worked! We didn't need them, but there were lots of games and lots of space to play them. Cell phone reception was good, the (open) wireless internet service was excellent for the little that we needed it, and we never used the TV. I didn't think of it at the time, but the availability of parking at this property greatly exceeded the other properties in the area. One afternoon we had 6 cars (I think) with no problem. There are a few steps from the cottages to the lake, so it's not the best for really mobility-impaired people, but my elderly mother made it down to beach. The small cottage has a nice floorplan all on one level, with just a few steps to get from the parking to the cottage. It also has a great view of the beach and dock. The cottages were clean, everything worked, the owners were completely open and responsive during the rental arrangements - I've never met them but want to invite them to my next birthday party - they were that nice. My whole party gave the place two enthusiastic thumbs UP!
