Ted and Molly Poister, your convivial hosts, welcome you to the Captain Kinne House Bed and Breakfast!
Molly grew up in the Finger Lakes, in nearby Interlaken, where her father was the last of the country doctors who made house-calls all around this area.
Ted grew up in Syracuse and met Molly in the Chapel Choir at Syracuse University, which was directed by his father.
They were married nearly 50 years ago and spent their first two years together as Peace Corps volunteers in Valdivia, Chile.
Since then they have lived in Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, and they now divide their time between Atlanta, Georgia, and the Kinne House.

Wake to the smell of freshly brewed coffee as early as 8am, but by all means, begin your day when you want.
A delicious three course breakfast will be carefully and expertly prepared by Molly and served in the dining room at 9 a.m.
Molly has years of experience in hospitality and is an exceptional chef.
Breakfast menus change daily, as she likes to take advantage of fresh, in season fruits and berries, like blackberries that grow profusely down behind the big barn, as well as other fresh fruits like raspberries, strawberries, peaches, and blueberries which are so abundant in the Finger Lakes.
