Home was right on the water with great views and clean. We were greeted by the owner with a welcome basket which was nice. Great location great home great value great host
We very much enjoyed our stay. The location was great being right on the lake. We spent time on the covered porch, and saw some beautiful sunrises. It was also a great launching point for visiting wineries. The place was clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend it.
Our stay was perfect for a short winery get-away. The location is great to all the local wineries. The all season porch was so nice! Ken was kind enough to get out the chairs for the outside deck for us without us even asking! We had a fantastic stay!

Thanks for the kind words. You were a pleasure to host!
We gad a great stay at the house. Comfortable, roomy, great lakeside living with the upper deck and lower firepit right by the water. Three-season room was perfect also on the day it rained. Hosts were great also, answered all questions promptly.
This is a great place for a long weekend! Beautiful views, wonderful outdoor spaces, and comfortable indoor spaces. The owner was easy to work with and quick to reply. Would highly recommend!
Our second time at Copper Beach and once again a very enjoyable stay. Home is comfortable and exactly as described.
Front porch (enclosed) overlooking Seneca lake is worth the trip.
My wife and I spent a wonderful long weekend at Ken”s home. The fall colors were peaking and the temps were perfect. The sunrise and moon beams were stunning from the deck and dock
We were here for graduation weekend with family. It was the perfect place to relax while enjoying all that is nearby. Great location since the house seems to be around the halfway point between Geneva and Watkins Glenn. It was very peaceful with a beautiful view of the lake. Great house, and wonderful hosts. We fell in love with the area while our son attended school, so we will be back.
Absolutely beautiful. From the time we arrived Ken & Ellen made us feel welcome. The house is oerfect & has everything you need. We had a ton of fun using the grill, the fire pit, & the kayak. The sunroom was perfect for morning coffee & the dock was lovely in the evening to have a glass of wine from 1 of the many winery's. The location is terrific, as it is close to tons of things to do & places to eat. We will definitely be returning.
The property was the perfect location for HWS graduation weekend. Lots of space inside and outside (porch, upper deck, docks, hammock, fire pit). We loved the welcome basket and host was very helpful and friendly. We would rent this property again.
My daughter & I stayed for our annual FLX trip and loved the Campbell's cottage from the minute we walked in. Ken & Ellie were gracious and very attentive to all our needs before & during our trip. The location is perfect (middle of lake) so travel to and from was very easy and the views!! We appreciate the hospitality and attention to detail and will definitely book again!
What a perfect place for 4 of us- the pics do not do it justice! Very clean, gorgeous view and plenty of places to hang by the lake on the property. Ken is lovely, with great suggestions for local things to do and easily accessible. It was a great 4 days at Seneca Lake!
We absolutely loved our stay with all the wonderful amenities that were included. The lake view was spectacular, and the sunrise and sunsets added to our enjoyment! Ken was very welcoming and accommodate our requests. The welcome tray of goodies was such an unexpected and thoughtful and kind surprise.

Really enjoyed hosting Pat's family and friends, and they left the house in pristine condition. Just delightful guests and I look forward to hosting them again.
The house and location were perfect!
In the mornings if we couldn't be out on the deck, we loved sitting on the sunporch. It was so peaceful. The street was so quiet and was perfect for dog walking in the mornings and evenings.
We stayed 3 nights for my mom's 70th birthday and had an unforgettable time in the Finger Lakes. We picked this property for its central location and 4 bedrooms. We were out and about most of the daytime exploring the area, but enjoyed relaxing in the evenings and coffee on the porch in the mornings. Ken & Ellen are great hosts, and we owe him for saving the day by helping us with a flat tire! This house has everything you'll need for a home away from home getaway. I hope to be back sometime with my kids, they would love this place. Thanks for a great weekend!

Wonderful friendly guests. We look forward to their return.
We had a wonderful week. Perfect house, amazing view of lake, excellent outdoor spaces all overlooking the lake, great communication with Ken. Sun porch was a big bonus so relaxing. Loved the area lots of great restaurants. House is very well equipped with everything you can think of. Thanks for a great week!!!
Perfect for a girls getaway. This home had everything we needed. Its very cozy, on the water, with plenty of water toys to play with. The owner is very nice, lives next door, though we did not feel like our Privacy was invaded at all. We would definitely recommend renting this place to others. If the owners read this...THANK YOU!
