Fantastic lakefront home—beautifully maintained, very clean, peaceful, well-equipped, and the perfect place to relax while enjoying everything Cooperstown has to offer!

We had an amazing stay at this cozy lakefront cabin! The host was incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful throughout our visit. The cabin was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. We loved spending our evenings around the cozy fire pit, watching the beautiful sunsets over Otsego Lake, and relaxing on the dock. Having access to the kayaks was a wonderful bonus, and the location was perfect—just a short drive to Cooperstown and only about 20 minutes from Cooperstown Dreams Park. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Long weekend getaway

Camp Champion is charming and cozy. Armin and Nancy were very attentive and accommodating. The house was well stocked with all that we could / would need for our stay. The water access was great and the lake and surroundings were beautiful. Great place to stay with lots of different activities from Cooperstown to horseback riding, water sports, golf and more. Would highly recommend this vacation rental.

Cute lake home close to Dreams Park

We loved our stay at Lake Champion. The lake is a short walk across the street to a shared dock. We were able to use the kayaks there, swim (clean sandy bottom) and fish with our own poles. The home was very clean and perfect for our stay while we watched our older sons play baseball. It’s about a 20 minute drive to Dreams Park and 10 minutes to the Hall of Fame. We would definitely stay again if we go back to Cooperstown!

Camp Champion for the win!

We had such a wonderful time at Camp Champion! Armin and Nancy were so welcoming and accommodating. The house was very clean and had all the amenities we needed to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked and it was very nice to have a washer and dryer. We even took advantage of all the extras too - kayaking, canoeing and s'mores over the fire pit! The lake view was so pretty and coffee on the front porch is a must! The home was an easy drive to local restaurants and stores, as well as Cooperstown Dreams Park, making our commute back and forth from the park seamless. We highly recommend Camp Champion! We even think it brought us luck getting to the Final Four ;) Quick note: The second bathroom is downstairs, separate from the bedrooms upstairs. This was not a problem for us, but just a heads up!

Autumn Retreat

This is a great property for enjoying a real lake experience. You wake-up with a fresh-brewed cup of coffee and watch the sun rise on the lake from the porch or the dock. Perfect location on the west side just past 5-Mile Point for quick access to Cooperstown, Glimmerglass State Park, and the theater ( when in season). Nancy and Armin have really done a great job making Camp Champion perfect for both couples and family getaways.
