Some places help you unplug Pine Lake helps you reconnect.

Tucked away along the shoreline at Pine Lake, Both Redwood Cabins offer the kind of quiet that’s hard to find these days. Wake up to lake views, spend your evenings by the fire, and fall asleep surrounded by the sounds of nature. With cozy knotty pine interiors, a screened-in porch overlooking the water, and all the essentials for a peaceful getaway, it’s the perfect place to slow down and breathe a little deeper.

Whether you’re looking for a weekend retreat, a creative escape, or simply a break from the noise, your spot by the lake is waiting.

Come experience Pine Lake Hartwick College for yourself.

Take a moment to pause and listen to the birds 🐦🌲

In just 8 seconds, you can hear 5 different bird species singing and calling to each other around Pine Lake!

The birds featured in this clip are the Red-winged Blackbird, Pine Warbler, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Yellow Warbler,and American Robin.

Fun fact: Birds often sing to claim territory, attract mates, and communicate with other birds, so this short clip is basically a tiny forest conversation. 🌿🎶

Mindful Monday 🌿 Take a moment today to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the peaceful views around Pine Lake.

Libby’s Message:

“Nick and I moved out to pinelake our sophomore year out of smith to what was probably our best decision ever. Im from the middle of nowhere woods, lake, and nature so it helped with being me being homesick. We made many friends living out there from canoeing, late night fires and spending Thanksgiving together. We picked to take our senior photos here because of the impact it had on us pinelake felt like home, we eneded up living there a total of 3 semesters.”

🚌 The Original Pine Lake Shuttle

Before it was a nature retreat, Pine Lake was a booming resort called Sherman Lake.
This 1910s "White Truck" was the local version of a party bus, shuttling visitors from Oneonta to the lake for Roller skating, dancing, and vaudeville Shows

Fun Fact: This "bus" had no windshield and ran on solid rubber tires making for a very breezy (and bumpy) ride through Davenport! 🌲✨
