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.

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.

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!

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.

5 family summer!

This is our second stay at this vacation home. Communication with Brad and his son was always timely. The home is very large and has multiple floors with entertainment at each level. Of course the highlight is the outside living area and the dock and the wonderful bay. Lots of swimming and fishing was enjoyed. We enjoyed several campfires at the fire pit. Large kitchen was able to allow multiple family members cooking at the same time. We truly enjoy this location at home.

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 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!!!

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!!!!

Amazing place for Family Gatherings!

This is the second year in a row we have stayed at this property, and we love it! It's perfect for our large family of 12 adults and three kids - everyone gets their own space while there is plenty of shared space for games and meals. The owners are very friendly, super helpful, and very quick to address any issues. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to do big meals, plenty of outdoor space to hang by the fire or the lake, hot tub is perfect for 6 adults, home theater is awesome after a long day. Very clean upon arrival, super comfortable beds and sheets, beautiful spot right on the water. We'll continue to book our annual trip here as it's just a perfect fit!

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.

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.

Great Weekend

We stayed at this property for the weekend with family from out of state and had a wonderful time. Everything was as described, if not better. The amount of bedrooms and bathrooms made it such a relaxing, no stress, weekend as everyone had their own space. My sister had an afternoon flight out of town and the Coopers were kind enough to allow us to check-out a little later since no one was coming in the day we left. We were very appreciative of that and communication during the entire process was great!

Another Great Stay!

Every year we try to get together as an extended family. We have been very fortunate for the last three years to rent Bernie and Brad’s lovely bayside home in Fair Haven. The house is beautiful and comfortable in all ways! There are 8 of us ranging in ages of 15-83. The downstairs area is great with a theater, great comfortable seating, a pool table and so much more. The bedrooms are large and with the most comfortable beds you could ask for. The kitchen is well appointed and very roomy for several people to work in it at a time. The kitchen table easily seats 10 people and there is an additional large dining room. Everything in this house is well thought out and set up for your comfort. The view of the bay is spectacular. There is a big dock where several of our group loved to fish! I can’t say enough about this home and it’s owners. We will definitely be back!

Very Roomy & Comfortable

We wanted a house in the eclipse path of total darkness, within driving distance of northern New Jersey and comfortable for fourteen people. This house met our needs. The view across of the bay was beautiful, both morning and night. It had plenty of room for our group of 8 adults and 3 children. The main bedroom has an en suite bathroom, the others do not, but their nearby bathrooms are only a few steps away. It was a wonderful house for a large group and had lots of features like a deck across the back of the house, outside chairs, dining tables, and a fire pit. There was also inside entertainment and game options, plus playscape for the kids. The rest of the house had plenty of room for getting the group together for meals while offering room for quiet moments. The furnishings were very nice. Each bedroom had 5 bath towels, several hand towels and wash cloths. The beds were appropriately soft and comfortable. The kitchen area had 2 complete sets of refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and sink. There were plenty of plates, glasses, etc. for a large group. The owners – Brad & Bernie Cooper -- are exceptionally nice people and always responded quickly to my inquiries. Brad met us at the house when we arrived and walked us through the house to explain how everything worked. Brad & Bernie were very helpful post-visit by finding a forgotten book that they will return to us. In summary, it was a very roomy and comfortable house in a beautiful spot. Highly recommended!

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 !
