The property was very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet with the dock being a perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee.
Highly recommend & would rent this property again if in this area.
Owners are amazing, fast to respond. Place is set up fully, lake francis is terrific. Would recommend this property to anyone. We will stay here again.
The home on the lake is a great set up for families. Our grandkids had a great time playing in the lake, fishing, swimming and enjoying the hot tub and fire pit for s’mores! Owners are very responsive and helpful!!

Amazing sunsets
We soaked up lake life while at lake Francis lily pad ! The house is comfortable and well furnished. When we weren’t enjoying time with friends we were sitting by the lake watching all the birds and sunsets. The owner was so welcoming too!
We came to Lake Placid for a wedding. It was a quick weekend visit. This house and the lakefront made our busy weekend slow down a bit. My family was able to enjoy time fishing and relaxing by the lake. It was a great visit!!! We will be returning!!
I stayed here with my husband and baby during the holidays. The house was very clean and you could tell the hosts put a lot of thought into making the place comfortable. Really liked the open Florida room. We spent most of our time out there looking out at the lake. My husband enjoyed paddle boarding.
We’ve stayed at many homes in Lake Placid over the last 10 years. This was one of our most favorites. You can tell Lisa is new to the short term rental game. Going above & beyond on all the little extras. All those little extras separate you from the others. My Kudos to you & your team Lisa!!!
Everything was clean, inviting and thoughtfully finished. The beds were comfortable, the main bath was luxurious and inviting. Everything needed for preparing meals was available in the beautiful kitchen. Nice surprises included a coffee bar and margarita machine. The back screened porch was great for gathering and playing games. The fishing poles and paddle boards added a nice touch since the lake is steps away. Communication was great, access was simple and everything worked as expected. Everyone enjoyed this neat house and we would definitely stay again.
We're a family of 5 from West Palm Beach, Florida. We love Lake Placid so much we decided to buy a house there! We love hosting and introducing this beautiful area to people from all over the world.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood is so peaceful and quiet. The mossy oak trees are perfect shade and the lake lapping the shore is absolute heaven. The birds, fish and other wildlife provide such entertainment and joy.
What makes this property unique
We take such pride in making this home beautiful and comfortable for everyone. It's our happy place and we love sharing it.
