The private pier at Franciscan was so relaxing. I took the portable umbrella in my cabin closet and set it up at the end of the pier and had a great afternoon picnic watching the paddleboarders and kayakers go by. Restaurants and other amenities so close by.

The kitchen was even better than what I expected. Fully stocked with silverware, knives, a coffee pot, toaster, oven, stovetop, microwave, fridge/freezer, etc. Even a separate hot plate and a dishwasher! Everything was spotlessly clean and ready to use.

Excellent facility for the price. Plenty of space for me and my daughter. Cable tv worked a dream when snow conditions were too heavy to be outside. Kitchen was great. Only issue was the stove top needed a lighter to use and given we arrived after checkin we couldn’t grab from reception. Would definitely stay here again.

Used the room for two nights, Friday and Saturday, parking was easy and right in front of our room. Was able to check in after hours with lockbox option, room was clean, cozy, and small kitchen was perfect for us getting in late so that we could warm up our dinner and get the bed. Area was quiet, bathroom was clean and had everything we needed. Important things were stocked in the kitchen, bulls played silverware, soap, sponge, salt and pepper. Toaster microwave, all which was helpful and table available to eat at. Appreciated communication with the staff the following day to check in on how we were. Definitely will use again as last ng as rates don't raise.

Location was great! Comfy bed and amenities. Love the steakhouse across the street. It’s snowed a ton and they plowed the parking lot but we shoveled our own path to unit 28 twice. It’s Perfect if 267 is open up to Northstar. We will definitely be back without a winter storm, lol. I would imagine summer is perfect here in the lake! Highly recommend.
