Franciscan Lodge

Loved our stay at a Lakeview studio cabin. This is a good cabin near the lake with all the amenities you can ask for. Cabin had good views of the Lake. We loved the pier and the park. Justin at front desk was very friendly and provided good suggestions for dinner and breakfast. Would love to stay again in future

We were excited to try this place for the 1st time. We were celebrating our 30th Anniversary. After checking out rooms online, I called to make reservation. The one thing we absolutely wanted was a fireplace. When we arrived a very sweet gal at front desk checked us in and assured us we had a lakefront room and fireplace. We got to our cabin and unpacked everything. Went out to deck to enjoy view. It was cool enough when sun went down so my husband tried to turn on fireplace but it didn't work. Too late for office so next morning I went to office. Same sweet girl said she would send out maintenance man and he came and said it needed a switch which would have to be ordered. Asked if we wanted to switch cabins and we said no after totally unpacking. When we got there dishwasher had 'out of order' sign on it. TV in bedroom didn't work. The last morning my husband went to make coffee and coffee maker didn't work after trying several different plugs. Thank goodness we had our spare coffee maker we always bring "just in case". It is a fantastic place as far as location, but I feel after the amount of money we spent to stay for 3 nights, everything should have been in working order. We made the best of it with the beautiful view from our deck, but overall it was a very big disappointment!!

The location was perfect. We are very impressed with the unit we stayed in. The room was very clean, roomy and had everything you need to cook meals in the kitchen. Bed was comfortable. Loved the little fireplace in the wall. Staff friendly and helpful. We will be going back. Thanks Brian for your hospitality.

We showed up a day early and, Brian, the very helpful property manager, was able to accommodate us with a cottage on the water's edge. We loved it so much, we ended up changing our room and taking it for the rest of the week. The cottage was updated with a nice bathroom and kitchen. The bed was comfortable with crisp sheets and the bathroom had fluffy towels. The kitchen was immaculate and had everything we needed to cook several meals. Propane grills on the property were a bonus. The best part, of course, was the view. At the end of a day of hiking or biking, we were able to sit on the deck and watch the sky change colors over the mountains and the lake. On the practical side, we needed to combine work and vacation. The Internet was fast and reliable. I would definitely recommend this location to friends.

Wonderful stay!! Would definitely stay again!! Although word of warning there is no AC in the cabins. It doesn't show anywhere that there is no AC but considering it never gets hot there I understand. It was not too bad at night. They have a wonderful beach area and dock. The front desk is very knowledgeable about the area and very welcoming. Highly recommend this place!!

Brian and Gabby were so friendly. We stayed in unit 12 one bedroom right on the water and loved the privacy beach. The cabin had everything we needed including a bbq right outside, lounge, chairs, and umbrella on the deck, chairs on the deck, 2 refrigerators, all the kitchen accessories etc. my kids and grandkids came and we had an amazing time. This was my second time staying there and I hope to go back again next summer.

The only reason why I'm giving it two stars is because of the location and beautiful lake. Everything is close by (shops, restaurants) and walkable. They have the prettiest lake view right in front of the lodge. I assumed the lodge would be decent from their supposedly "4 star" lodge. I found out when checking in that their cabins are privately owned. Cabin 18 was not clean, it smelled old and stale, bathroom had mold in the shower, lights weren't' working and I felt so uncomfortable for my toddlers to be crawling around. It was so dirty that phone was sticky and it was just disgusting. The front desk never checked in on our stay and there was no cleaning services. The rooms definitely could use a upgrade, It was so outdated. I was so excited to stay from the reviews and photos I read and saw and it turned out to be such a disappointment. Not worth the price.

We received the most warm welcoming as soon as we walked in the door of the office. Jenny was the sweetest and helped us through some issues getting inside with our frozen lock to our room. Highly rated that people come here. Clean as well and gorgeous scenery.

The room we had was perfect for a 2 night stay. Complete kitchen and lots of beds (enough for 5 people). Check in and check out with Brian were fast and easy as well. If we come back next season we’ll pick here!
