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. ##### Scott B.

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! ##### Deb M.

I could gush and get wordy but I’ll be specific: -comfortable beds and pillows -generously stocked kitchen and bathroom’s. -quiet environment, easy to chill. No leaf blowers while we were there. -considerate mowing of grass to help filtration in order to maintain the clear “Placid” lake. Still the mowing allowed ambling of the beautiful property. -as environment was a consideration, it hosted many species of small birds while the lake hosted loons and eagles. -host communication was good. -we were happy they so warmly welcomed our well-behaved canine family members. It means so much to us. We tried hard not to make more work down the line. -highly recommend. ##### Colleen F. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda J.

Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and have their quiet time or comfortable space for the entire group to sit and visit. The firepit is perfect. We plan to have Falconhurst as our getaway whenever we feel the need to rewind. ##### Devona H.
