Great Lake House
Wonderful week on the lake in a magnificent house and property. Owners are accommodating and super to work with. Great Location close to area facilities and attractions. Owner’s description of the property matches experience.

The Perfect Getaway!
We were staying the weekend to attend the Hootie concert at Alpine Valley and enjoy the beautiful lake located conveniently in the backyard of Fred and Patty’s incredible home.
Four couples and myself. Communication was very prompt and clear before arrival and throughout our stay. Upon pulling into the driveway to the welcoming sounds of Hootie and the Blowfish playing for us, I knew Fred & Patty would be very welcoming.
They certainly were and took us on a tour of the property and went over everything we needed to know. My group had an amazing time and we all decided we will go back next year. Everything you need is provided from firewood, to beach towels, a BOAT, etc. The Elegant Farmer is a convenient little grocery located within a mile (get the pies). Highly recommend staying with Fred & Patty. Couldn’t have been a better experience.
Thanks again for the superior hospitality! Daniel (08/23/2019)
House was Amazing!
The house was amazing along with the owners, we’re super accommodating and worked perfect for our rehearsal dinner and reception. Will definitely stay again.

The perfect “resort-like” getaway for any occasion!
WOW! Believe it or not, the fabulous pictures do not do this place justice! First of all, Fred, the owner of the property, sure had a way of making this entire process wonderful for me and my group.
From the initial contact and booking, the hammering down of final details on the days leading up to the event, the meet and greet on the first day of the trip, continued support throughout our stay, seamless checkout on our last day, and even shipping home some items that were left at the house, Fred is the man!
I booked this house for my sister’s bachelorette party. She wanted a weekend in a lake house with her 10 closest friends and family, and that’s exactly what she got—and so much more!
When I told Fred what the event was for, Fred gave us tons of recommendations for the weekend (where to eat, local bars, shopping areas, and even offered to host a pig roast at the house for the girls— even though we graciously declined).
All the girls were shocked with how spacious, beautifully designed and decorated the house was. All of the girls got lost numerous times in the house, that’s how big this place is! We did not feel cramped at all.
Tons of bathrooms, bedrooms, seating areas, and TWO kitchens. Aside from the private bedrooms, Fred also had already had a few air mattresses blown up and made for us.
What set this place apart is the private beach (which included a large pier with beach chairs, a large raft, and a platform in the water) and use of his pontoon boat for a very small fee and refundable deposit.
Sure we could have booked a house anywhere, but these amenities turned a small weekend getaway into a full-on-vacation—we wish we could have stayed longer! One great touch was the water bottles and chocolates left in each of the bedrooms, as if we were staying in a 5 star hotel! Fireplaces EVERYWHERE, but we mostly used the one on the beach.
I guarantee you that you will not find another house that is as spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, stocked with all living necessities, and that has better customer service! Whether a low key weekend getaway, or a weeklong vacation. THIS PLACE IS IT! No need to look further!
Furthermore, this was one of the rare homes that didn’t require a 5 night minimum, which was great. However, we plan on staying next time for a week☺
Thank-you, Fred, for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home and giving my sister a weekend she’ll never forget! We WILL be back!

We absolutely loved staying there! The place is beautiful, peaceful, private, and the hosts are amazing! Do yourself a real favor and get to this place! Host went overboard making us feel at home!

Expectations Exceeded
Myself, my wife and our visiting friends were exceptionally satisfied with Phantom Cove. The property was as advertised and perhaps better than pictured on the web site. Owners Fred and Patty were very helpful during our orientation making for a relaxing week on the lake. Great place for swimmers of all ages!
