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.

Great place to stay and host. Made it easy to get in and out of and the property is great. Couldn't beat the view of the bluff and the fishing was wonderful.
beautiful cottage with lots of light and great lake view of the bluff-well-stocked kitchen-several comfortable adirondack chairs on the porch, beach and dock-easy unload/load access and just a few porch steps to level beach-very convenient location-responsive owner who provides good info on cottage and area
This was our fourth vacation at Flora. It is perfectly situated near excellent wineries and Hammondsport and set on a picture perfect part of Keuka lake. It was wonderful and we hope to come back again! Thank you!
We had a great stay - the house is in the fantastic location of Crystal Beach, very centrally located to both Hammondsport and Penn Yan. Lots of wineries nearby and a distillery. Cant wait to return.
Phenomenonal house! Very clean, great layout. Party of three, including my 16 year old son enjoyed the lake views, kayaking, and firepit. Bathrooms are fully stocked with soap, shampoo, razors, toothbrushes, and conditioner...great touch. Love a fully stocked kitchen. Open floor plan with reading loft that included gas fireplace was an indoor getaway. Would definitely go back.
My family enjoyed a perfect week at Flora's. The house is beautiful and provides every comfort of home. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything imaginable for meal prep, the bathrooms are stunning and stocked with plenty of towels and toiletries.The 2 waterfront porches were our favorite spots to gather, and the kayaks & canoe were big hits with our grandkids, as well as the walk-in level beachfront. Easily a favorite vacation choice!
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.
Beautiful home, fully stocked kitchen perfect for cooking meals, a lot of indoor and outdoor spaces to relax, nice sized dock for swimming, fishing, and docking a boat. We enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit, and puzzles. Great location for lake, bluff, and sunset views. Short ride by boat, car, or foot to wineries and restaurants.
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!
This was our second stay at Flora. Everything is as advertised. We love staying at Flora and have already booked for next year. It is clean and comfortable. Everything you need is there including the beautiful sunsets!
The house has everything you need for a relaxing stay! Right on the lake. Parking is easy with no steps to the home. Wake up to a fantastic view of the lake from 2 of the bedrooms. This was our 3rd stay here and have already booked for next year!
Everything was as advertised! We absolutely loved our week at Flora! The location is perfect. The house is very clean. Parking is easy, no stairs to the house or lake from the road! We loved our stay and have already booked for next year!
The Flora home was all the host said it would be and more. We loved the location, the layout of the home, the outdoor setup and all the other nice things included!
We are already looking to book next summer.
Thank you!
We could not have enjoyed our time at this house more. It was well stocked with everything we needed. It was very clean and the outdoor area was perfectly well kept. The dock was really great for our boat and to sit and watch the sunset. We definitely hope to be back!
This house has everything you need for a comfortable stay at the lake. There are very few stairs compared to other Keuka lake properties which really helped my mother with mobility issues enjoy time with her grandkids. The outdoor space is beautiful and functional with a good amount of shade. There is ample parking. We really enjoyed our time at Flora's place.
My family and I have stayed at this lovely home two summers in a row. There are multiple areas for sitting both inside and out. The Lake view is wonderful and we swam and kayaked most days. Bring extra towels but otherwise all is supplied by our host.
This property had everything. Ample parking. A great layout with tons of space and a large updated kitchen. The bathrooms with walk in showers were a nice surprise.
The back porch, fire pit, and newer dock were everything we needed and more. We really appreciated the various row boats and kayaks left for us.
Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Flora was perfect for two couples. The property is immaculate and very well supplied. It is exactly as described in the listing. The Crystal Beach location is convenient to both Hammondsport and Penn Yan. There is plenty of space for relaxing, both outdoors and indoors, and the chairs on the pier are excellent for watching Keuka sunsets. This is our second time there, and we hope to be back in the future.
This is a rare find on the lake. Equidistance from Penn Yan and Hammondsport, at the widest part of the lake, and in a cove. The house is new, modern and bright. There is enough parking for 3 cars and the dock is new too. The hosts are quick to respond.
Had a great time. Lake house very nice. Just wish we had some fans in the bedrooms. They got quite warm at night.

Sorry about the bedrooms getting warm. we'll have the AC folks come in and rebalance the system.
also we have found that using the ceiling fans in the great room goes a long way to balancing the temps throughout the house (for some reason many renters seem to turn them off and forget about them)
Great cottage. Good use of space and upper master bedroom is quiet and set off from the rest of the house. Kitchen is completely kitted out. The only think I couldn’t find was a power strip for electronics. Highly recommended!

About the host
Hosted by mark salisbury
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.
