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

Great little place. Had everything I needed, and was clean! Would definitely stay again. My only two issues: stove wasn’t working so they provided a small hot plate, which was fine. And I went to the front desk at 5PM, but they were closed already (said hours were until 5:30PM). Overall would definitely recommend.

The property is in a nice location. The room was very clean and had relatively updated furniture, but still had a cute cabin feel. The room also has everything you’ll need with a full kitchen set up. However the room is a little tight for a studio and was pretty crowded with what furniture they had and there was little to no storage space for bags and gear, which was a little tough being there for a ski trip. The entry way to our unit was also horribly iced over and actually extremely dangerous. It seemed like most of the units entry ways were cleared but our was very hazardous. Literally solid ice between our parking spot and steps to our unit. The heating in the unit appeared to be broken, but they did have a space heater in the room, but it was pretty difficult to regulate the temp with it, without being able to set a particular temperature. It took quite a bit of trial and error and finess to set it without it being too hot or too cold. But we did get it for a fair price compared to other stuff in the area. There was also alot of conflicting office info on their office hours between what expedia had, what their automated phone system said and what they actually told us over the phone in person. Also, their after hours checkin procdedures were not clear. Online it said we had to call them over 24 hours in adavnce to arrange a late checkin, but they actually have a normal lock box procesure without advanced notice. Had to talk to a person to get all the correct info.

The unit was in very poor condition. The first unit they offered they told us the heater wasn’t working. So they did move us to a larger unit at no additional cost. The shower in our unit had a broken and cracked shower pan. The crack could pinch your feet if not careful. The pan also had holes that the shower water was running into, going under the unit. There was no where comfortable to sit. After all it was a one bedroom with a living room and kitchen. Living space had two twin beds. Many other small issues. It was clear the owners haven’t seen the unit maybe in years. Very old and outdated. We’ve been staying at the Franciscan on and off for years. This was truly a disappointment. Hopefully someone will address these issues. The lake and scenery where beautiful.

Great stay overall! Clean and solid amount of accommodations in terms of a well stocked kitchen, easy parking, large selection of TV channels, comfortable couches/living room area, warm water, functioning heating unit etc. Only nitpick is was hard to locate at night due to non lit signage. Would have appreciated better signage and/or direction on where cottage was (ie across the street from the main beach facing cottages)
