beautiful campfires and ambience
We just came back from a great place- comfortable, great for the children and 1 grandchild. Every night we had the most beautiful campfire; a man from the village delivers your wood and you can pay him directly.Everyday we spent time at the beach. We loved the use of the sailboat, which was free with our cottage. I strongly recommend Twin Pines. These people know how to treat their guests! Only negative- my sister had a microwave in her cottage-I did not.

I’ll try to keep this short and relatively concise:
1. The Room: While it was hardly roomy, we did manage to fit a family of four, including a play pen. It wasn’t the space that bothered us, however, it was the cleanliness: there were discarded potato chips right outside our door, the room had a musty smell, there were no fitted sheets on the bed, and my wife’s pillow smelled as if it had never been washed. To compensate, I put one of my old t-shirts over it so that she could rest her head. Kind of makes you long for your own bed, huh? At least from the outside, the other buildings didn’t seem to be in any better shape, except for the building that housed the front office, which was decent. Too bad they don’t rent that out to paying customers.
2. The Recreation Room: The “Wreck” room would be a better name for this building, with its broken window panes, dried bird feces in the corners, and splintered ping-pong tables that lacked ping pong balls. It housed an eight tra...Read more

wonderful hosts
Twin Pines was a terrific experience for us. The owners are warm and welcoming and the waterfront is beautiful. The cottage we were in was clean, neat, and comfortable. They have a number of new cottages, but we stayed in one of the older ones. It was really great. Our friends stayed in a new apartment, which was truly beautiful-right on the beach. But, we will return with our baby next year and stay in the same older one-it has a charm that we won't forget for a long time

Great place-great people
I don't usually respond to reviews of places we've visited. However, there seems to be a need for comment here, since two people obviously in the same group are so vicious in their review, and so opposite to everyone else. We just had a weekend at Twin Pines in one of their older cottages. the newer ones were just opening for the season. It was older, immaculately clean, comfortable and pleasant. we loved our brief respite and have made reservations for July for a week. The owners are nice people-very open and welcoming. I can't wait to bring our friends in July. Hooray for a great Adiriondack place!
