Seneca Lake Gem
Property is outstanding! Deck with small scale lifeguard chairs - ideal for eating breakfast at. Shade on the deck most of the day. Sunroom made it feel like you were still enjoying the outdoors on the rainy days. Location on the lake was perfect for watching sunrises. There is a break between breakwaters that provides for easy launching of kayaks. The living area was clean and comfortable. Would definitely look to stay again for fun on the water or close proximity visits to wineries!

Cozy, Clean & Charming!
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!

Amazing Getaway
Our weekend away can be summed up in on word AMAZING! Ken the owner of the property was great. He was very informative, knowledgeable & there if we needed anything. The house was just as pictured. It was clean, spacious and felt like home. Plus it was right on the lake and made for some stunning sunrises and beautiful evening by the fire pit. It was also in a quiet neighborhood with easy parking and accessibility to the house and many surrounding wineries/vineyards/breweries. This was a great place to stay and we are already looking into dates so we can return next year.

Beautiful Lake front
Overall this was a great place to stay. Rearranged some beautiful decorations related to young children around during the stay, but enjoyed the beautiful view, dock access, one floor house, nice sunroom allowing for views come rain or shine. There is a great little playground 0.5 miles away which was great for kids. I enjoyed having property manager next door just in case and felt we definitely had our privacy. Had a nice week and would recommend to nice small group.

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.

Paradise on the Lake
Four 60 and older adults relaxing by beautiful Seneca Lake. Four bedroom home with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Morning coffee on outdoor porch watching the sunrise and water fowl. You can cook your own food or Door Dash. Instacart available. Ken and Ellen are gracious, unobtrusive hosts available if needed. In the middle of wine country. What more could anyone seeking peace and quiet ask.

Lakeside memories
We had a wonderful Spring break hiking and playing at the park. We had a great time just being together. My son loved capturing the sun rise over the lake from the 3 season room. The kiddos loved practicing their casting skills knowing all the fish were in the middle of the lake. We enjoyed the fire pit by the lake! Ken was great, meeting us and helping answer our questions and a wonderful welcome package. We all want to return next summer!

Relaxing week at the lake with family
Copper Beach was great for a week of relaxing with the family. The house was spacious and the outdoor space was great. The lake front had enough space for our kids to play. There were many thoughtful amenities included. Our kids enjoyed walking to the nearby park and ice cream shop. The location was great for jogging and taking walks.

Fabulous FLX stay
First time to the Finger Lakes region and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location. The house was comfortable and clean with all anyone would need indoors or out: kitchen staples, linens, Wi-Fi, outdoor dining area, outdoor fridge, grill, hammock, cornhole, fire pit, lake toys, swimming platform, and outstanding lake views. Ken and Ellen were the perfect hosts- so helpful and friendly. We loved the area, and when we return, we will definitely stay here again!
