The Petalstone House
The Experience
Your Finger Lakes Adventure Starts Here.
Your Finger Lakes experience extends far beyond the property. The Petalstone House is located between Bully Hill and Heron Hill wineries, with dozens more within a short drive. Explore Keuka Lake’s water activities, hike the gorges of Watkins Glen, or spend the afternoon with local artisans—from lavender farms to cheese makers, pottery studios to honey stands.
Every season offers something different...
- Blossoms, trail walks, fresh market finds.
- Lakeside swimming, wine tours, live music, starry nights.
- Foliage drives, cider tasting, harvest dinners.
- Quiet reflection, cozy fireplaces, and snow-covered vineyards.
