Lovely location and house
We enjoyed our stay. We especially liked playing cornhole and having evening fires in the firepit. The pontoon and kayaks were great too.

Beautiful House and Lake
Our family of four had a fun week! We decided to rent the pontoon boat and were very glad we did. Placid Lake is fairly quiet and the fishing was great (bass, pike, bluegill and crappie). We were entertained by a loon family and a bald eagle. The house can be warm when it’s 85-90 degrees outside but always cooled off at night. As others have mentioned, the kitchen is a bit dated but everything works well. Loved the nice Weber grill on the deck too! Mark is a very responsive and accommodating host.

A Lovely Oasis
A comfortable property on a peaceful lake, this home was perfect for our family getaway. The layout of the house is so interesting, with nooks for both quiet isolation and for group gaming or eating together as a family. The grounds are surprisingly spacious and beautifully (naturally) landscaped. This home had just about everything we needed for a perfect week-long stay. The location is perfect, too -- far enough from "civilization" to feel like a real getaway, yet close enough to a town like Crosby to easily go get coffee or ice cream or shop the cute stores on Main Street. And renting the pontoon boat was a fantastic decision. The lake isn't huge, but it's plenty big for touring on the pontoon at a Sunday Afternoon Drive pace. Check-in was simple and communication with Mark was quick and easy. The guide/info book provided by the owners at the house is extremely helpful too. Would definitely go again!

Great House
We enjoyed our time at Placid Lake. Falconhurst was a great cabin. We had 9 people and we all fit well and had plenty of space. The pontoon boat was a fun addition and made for some very fun days on the lake. The lake was quiet and really enjoyable. We were able to catch several fish right from the dock.

Amazing Family Vacation
We had a fantastic family vacation at Falconhurst! The home accommodations were perfect for our 11 family members. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and from the pontoon boat. The grandkids especially loved swimming in the lake. We were visited by bald eagles and loons often and enjoyed the quiet of this private lake. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. We will definitely be making this our annual family vacation spot! Such a great place!

Placid lake love
This was one of the most architecturally interesting, tastefully decorated, and well-provisioned cabins we have ever stayed in. We loved the lake, the pontoon and kayaks, all the different deck areas and indoor nooks and hangout spaces. The sauna worked great and it was so refreshing to jump in the lake after heating up. The kitchen was well-provisioned. We saw and heard loons, a beaver dam, and we caught a northern pike! We’ll definitely consider staying here again.

Beautiful and Private
The location of this quaint cabin is outstanding. Private, on a hill overlooking the beautiful (and not overly busy) Lake Placid. The fireplace and sun room are outstanding. The kitchen and bath are dated - but everything worked, which is most important. Sauna was great as well.

We really enjoyed our stay on the lake. There was quite a bit of property with many different vantage points to enjoy the views along with plenty of space for the whole family to spread out.
