If you love the character of an old home with modern and luxe amenities and a place that is just far enough off the beaten path that you get total privacy and tranquility but are only 8 miles from the action, then the FLX Farmhouse is for you! Set on 25 private & idyllic acres with rustic nature trails to explore, we are also a maple farm, Grouse Hill Maple Farm, where we make maple syrup from the land. Come here to hibernate, relax, roam, explore and have fun! Dog-friendly too!
While we do not live on or near the property, we will be available via phone and text during your stay. We also have a property manager that lives locally who can assist at any time.
❤️ Why we love it here? The FLX Farmhouse give you ultimate privacy with no neighbors in site and 25 acres of private nature trails right out your back door. Even though it's in the countryside, it's still convenient to all the action in a short 10-minute drive.
Best of all, upon booking, we will provide you with an interactive (great for accessing via your cell phone) guidebook that lists out everything you need to know about the home and the region as well as our TOP 10 places to eat, drink, play and explore! We lived here and vacation here too! We give you all of the local tips and our past guests have loved it!

-Traveling with your dog? No problem! We welcome you and your furry companion to the Finger Lakes!

We do not have any breed restrictions or a weight limit; we are big dog lovers ourselves, but we do have a 2-dog maximum and only allow dogs. With every pup stay, we donate 10% of your pet fee to our local humane society. In the home, we are happy to provide: 2 Dog Bowls (one for water, one for food), Doggie Treats, Disposable Poop Bags, Pooper Scooper (outside), wipes for muddy paws, a pup lint roller and a Doggie Blanket.
