Modern and welcoming on the best spot on the lake
Located on Keuka’s only natural beach just below the bluff, this brand-new cottage was built to replace the 104-year-old predecessor that was in our family since its initial construction.

Located in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine country, and centered on the east side of Keuka, our cottage is perfectly positioned for exploring the wineries, distilleries, and craft breweries of both Keuka and Seneca Lakes.

We are within comfortable walking distance to 4 wineries, including Ravines, which is consistently one of the highest rated wineries in the region and has featured frequently in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 List.

You will also find great hiking trails for an afternoon wander and plenty of options for bicycling, kayaking, and other watersports nearby. Other attractions within a short drive include the Curtiss Air Museum, the Bath Fish Hatchery (feed the baby trout and a hit with kids!), and the Corning Glass museum.

The cottage faces west on the gently sloping Crystal Beach, making it a perfect spot for swimming or sitting on the end of the large dock (or one of the two decks!) enjoying the spectacular scenery and sunsets.

On to the details
Fully furnished, air-conditioned and heated, and with high-speed WiFi, the cottage has a chef-ready kitchen with dishwasher, induction stove, large refrigerator, custom maple cabinetry, and granite countertops. The open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and stunning woodwork make for an inviting experience that also caters well to both large and small groups. The two story lake side deck provides ample outdoor space for lounging and enjoying the views rain or shine.

The cottage has two lake-facing master bedrooms with deck access, one on each floor, with unobstructed views of the lake. The top floor master has a spa-like ensuite bathroom for privacy.

At the top of the stairs there is an open loft area with comfortable seating and a fireplace - perfect for hanging out and accessing the top floor deck.

The living area has a flatscreen HD TV with plenty of seating, an extensive DVD movie selection, and patio access leading down to the beach and dock. Feel free to use the rowboat and canoe! Lifejackets and paddles are provided.

Besides the decks on the lake side, there is a back deck with a large gas grille overlooking the yard and parking area, where you can fit up to 3 cars and a boat trailer.

The cottage is secured via an electronic lock with a unique renter-selected code so you never have to worry about losing or returning keys! The code is activated on check-in and expires on check-out.

Cooking utensils, dishware, tableware, and linens for 8 are provided. The washer/dryer can be found in the ground floor utility room, along with any cleaning supplies you may need.

Relaxing, comfortable home
We had a wonderful time at Flora’s for our small family reunion. Beautiful, clean, well laid out house in a quiet neighborhood. Many comfortable sitting areas inside and out. New paver stones and trex decking on the dock made for smooth house and dock access. Well outfitted kitchen. Lots of other supplies like puzzles, toys, boating equipment, toiletries. Location was great for neighborhood walks and looking westward to the fall colors on the other side of the lake. We’d like to come back and try out the boats and swimming since it was too cool during our visit. Owner replied promptly to our inquiries before our trip. An enjoyable and comfortable rental home experience! We got to see the Milky Way while sitting out on the dock. Not something we can see at home. Thanks for opening your home for us!

Great stay at Flora
We chose Flora because it was the right size and location for our girlfriends’ weekend. We could not have been happier with our choice and hope to be back again in a year or two. Unfortunately we weren’t able to take advantage of the decks, watercraft or beautiful dock due to the weather but we did enjoy sitting around the huge table laughing and reminiscing. The host was quick to answer any questions we had.

Perfect weekend getaway!
The property is fabulous and has everything you need provided. We enjoyed fishing from the dock, the kayaks, bonfire and s’mores at night, and several local spots within walking distance. I highly recommend and would stay again.

Favorite Place/Location on Keuka!
My friends and I stayed during our trip to run the Wine Glass Half Marathon and this was by far our favorite house and favorite location on the lake. We can't wait to book again next year! Thank you for having us!

About the host

Hosted by mark salisbury

Host profile image
My family has owned this property since 1910, Two years ago our family set out on a journey to replace the original cottage with a new, modern year round cottage that respected the attributes of the old cottage we loved so much.

Why they chose this property

This lake, this location is just about as perfect a place as you will ever find. My Great Great Grandfather knew what he was doing when he bought this land, and my Grandmother, Flora, who the new cottage is named after was wise enough to make sure it stayed in the family when her brothers wanted to sell.
