01
Spring & fall
Seasonal opening & closing
A thorough spring startup and fall shutdown — water systems, dock and lift, outdoor furniture, HVAC checks, and a full property walk-through at both ends of the season.
Finger Lakes waterfront care
Your lake property, fully looked after.
FLX Cottage Care is a full-service concierge for Finger Lakes cottages, camps, and lake homes. We handle everything — from spring opening to fall closing, boat care to storm response — so you arrive to a place that's ready.

Peace of mind at a reasonable price.
What we do
One call. Every season. Every detail.
Most lake home owners are managing a long list of vendors, seasonal tasks, and unexpected problems from a distance. We replace all of that with a single, trusted partner who knows your property and handles it — before you have to ask.
"We show up before you have to call."
What we handle
The full picture.
