The host is fabulous & very accommodating. The property is perfect for family stays for weddings or vacations. The size of the house, the 2 refrigerators, new washer & dryer, the fire pit & dock are all perfect for a great get away. We stayed for a family wedding & had 20 people & had so much space to spread out & gather, it was perfect!!

Stayed at this beautiful property on the water for our annual Girls’ Weekend. The host met us at check-in to go over the basics of some mechanics like hot tub & awning function. He wanted to be sure everything met our expectations..and it did!! We took the 2 kayaks out on the bay and enjoyed the beautiful sunrise. We really loved the comfortable beds, plush towels, and well equipped kitchen. This was our second stay with The Coopers and plan on returning next year to their sister property (Xanadu). Definitely a 10/10.

Relaxing Quiet Retreat

This property is gorgeous. Located in a very quiet village. There is not much around which is what we were looking for…..days full of lounging on the Bay! The Coopers were amazing hosts and would definitely consider this a vacation spot in the future.

Family sharing time

Great property for large family of four generations. Well provisioned, spacious and friendly, responsive owner. We have rented Coopers other property, Xanadu, for several previous years but family has expanded so we required more room. This was our first year, but not our last!

Girls weekend away

We were a group of 20 female healthcare workers just wanting to get away for a weekend. The house and property were amazing. It was furnished with everything imaginable. Every little detail was considered for a group of our size. The furniture was very comfortable and clean, including all of the outdoor furniture. We made many wonderful memories and recommend this property %100.

Amazing home and amazing time!

We had a great stay at the Cooper’s house. The kids loved “staying in a mansion,” jumping off the dock, hanging out in the movie room, and making s’mores. The teens loved the hot tub, fishing, doing puzzles on the big dining room table, and kayaking, Thea adults loved the lakefront property, sunrises from the bay and sunsets on the lake, comfy beds, and the close proximity to state parks, festivals, and wineries. A huge win for the whole family!!!

Can't wait to come back next year!

The house was amazing, the owners were incredible to work with and were super flexible with us. There were plenty of rooms to house our bridal party after our wedding so we could all stay together, between the movie theatre and the hot tub? We never wanted to leave! We hope to make this a yearly trip and highly recommend this property for your fair haven stay! You won't be disappointed!

AMAZING HOUSE AND LOCATION

We (8 couples) have stayed at this property now almost 5 times - it's such a great spot, why go anywhere else? Perfect yard for cornhole, a nice walk to a local winery, a well-stocked kitchen to prepare meals, plenty of outdoor space, beds are SO comfortable, a great firepit - it's all here!!! Brad and Bernadette have always been so easy to communicate with. And for some reason, we've always managed to have some really great weather while we've visited. Thanks for a another wonderful weekend!!!!

Wedding weekend

Perfect for friends and family for a wedding weekend in November. Wedding venue was Colloca Estate Winery - 5 minutes away. Plenty of space for those that wanted to sit and relax and chat in the living room while others could be in the basement playing pool or cards and others could be in the kitchen. So many amenities. Bedrooms were all beautiful and comfortable. The view was beautiful even in late November. The owner was very helpful and responsive. Absolutely recommend.

Bay stay

Excellent property and location. We go for the " water" and that aspect couldn't have been better, although we provided most of our water accessories. We had no access to the thermostat which was set way too low. Owners replaced washer and dryer in one days notice when we had a problem.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 July 2020
I wish you would have contacted us about thermostat. Our guests have full access to thermostat. It was at the top of stairs on second level. That would have been an easy fix.

Lovely vacation home

This property worked out very well for us. There were enough bedrooms for each family. Two kayaks were available with the house and were well used. We also rented 2 paddle boards to use. We had a comfortable and fun fire in the fire ring every night and spent much time sitting on the deck, using the awnings when necessary. The owner was staying down the street and was very responsive to our phone calls. All together, a vry nice vacation home in a beautiful location.

About the host

Hosted by Bernie Cooper

Host profile image
My husband and I have been summering or residing in Fair Haven all of our lives. This property was my family's cottage until 1998 when my husband and I built a year round home here. We have lived here for the past 15 years with our 4 children.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family for 33 years. My husbands family's cottage is just 2 doors down and is how we met. My husband's family has been rooted in Fair Haven since it was established. My family has vacationed here for over 40 years and lived here for 31 years. We have enjoyed all Fair Haven has to offer and would now like to share those experiences with you.

What makes this property unique

This property was one of 10 parcels originally established in 1895 as The Imperial Club. The original founders created a unique place for members to enjoy their summers. That is why today our property is one of the only deep lots with gradual access to the bay. You will find the best views and some of the deepest water in all of Little Sodus Bay. Too many benefits to mention !
