Room 16, not as pictured on line when I booked, and it is close to the road. The road traffic noise was horrible. Access to the lake was great.

We love that the beach access is very convenient and beautiful view. The only downside is the geese’s stool around the beach and volleyball court, but I we understand that its part of the nature. We had fun, will definitely come back.

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.

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 You can tell the care that was put into everything in the space, nothing was old or outdated.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.

Beautiful property. Peaceful stay. Read the fine print though and make sure if you book it expecting beach front that you be careful to select it…we almost didn’t get a beach front we were expecting because of expedias description but staff was awesome and worked with us. Beautiful comfy cozy place to stay

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.
