This was our first visit to the Finger Lakes, and we had a wonderful stay! The house looked exactly like the pictures and was perfect for our family of five with three young children. The location was ideal for exploring the area. The hosts were lovely and quick to respond throughout the booking process and at checkout. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice family! Would love to have them back. Thanks for the nice review.
Great view of the lake. Perfect location to enjoy the lake, breweries/wineries, and all things Seneca Lake area has to offer. You are positioned perfectly between Geneva and Watkins Glen. The house was perfect for us and Ken and Ellen were fantastic hosts!

Thank you for staying with us. You are welcome anytime!
The hosts were helpful and communicated clearly. The place is nicer than in the pictures. Central air made the house temperature quite comfortable. Easy to regulate.
Everything was fabulous. The house was very clean and had everything you could ask for. Gorgeous views from the house and deck. The location was perfect as well. Situated between Watkins Glen and Geneva, there were plenty of restaurants, wineries and breweries to choose from.We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful guests! Thoughtful, very communicative, very clean, and very nice family. Would welcome their return.
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
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
