This is a nice place on the lake, rustic lodging, well equipped kitchen for cooking. WiFi sort of spotty, no ice maching
We love staying at Franciscan Lodge!
The cabins are comfortable and cozy. We can do light cooking and the best part- we are right at the beach! The cabin #15 needs to have the bathroom fan changed out. The motor sound was awful- so much so that we kept it and the bathroom light attached to it off and just showered in the dark.

The staff is out by a certain time. We tried dropped off the key card before 11am and there was no one in the office and no sign how to check out.. We didnt know that there was no AC in the room but there was a small fan attached to the wall and a fan in the closet. We were able to open windows for fresh air but the windows DID NOT lock. It is very easy to open from the outside.
The room was nice and clean and had everything we needed. The location is perfect and right next to the beach. We liked how private it was.
The property was clean, well equipped and the staff were friendly and allowed to checkin early.
The only comment is the heater, it makes an annoying noise every 10mins that kept waking us up.
We were pleasantly surprised when we walked into the studio cottage. It was very clean, kitchen was well stocked with nice quality dishwater & cookware. You can tell the care that was put into everything in the space, nothing was old or outdated. We will definitely be staying here again.
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The property was clean, well-maintained, and located in a very convenient spot. One of the highlights was the lovely area by the lake – perfect for relaxing or just enjoying the view.
Our room was a bit noisy since it was right next to the road, but the staff was incredibly helpful and responsive. They quickly offered a quieter room for us.
We appreciated the excellent service. Would definitely stay again!
