We had a great stay at Franciscan Lakeside Lodge! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the private beach with beautiful Lake Tahoe views was a huge plus. We also loved that Kings Beach was just a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy the restaurants, shops, and lake activities. A wonderful place for a relaxing family getaway—we would definitely stay here again!

Our stay was amazing!! We will definitely come back next year! The room had all things you needed like a horn away from home. My family stayed in a 2 bedroom that had such comfy couches and fit 6 people perfectly. We made breakfast lunch and dinner and had a bbq in the recreation area, which also had everything we needed. The property is so clean and has an awesome beach area for volleyball, pool was clean and staff were so cute! She had her baby in the office who was adorable and they were so nice! 12/10!

My stay was excellent. It was better than I expected. The cottage was perfect size, right by the water. It had a full bed and sofa bed. The kitchen was fully stocked with kitchen utensils, cups, plates and pots. It had an electric fireplace that kept the room at the perfect temperature. I would book here again every time.

10/10 Exceptional

Based on a couple of reviews that were less than optimal, we were not sure what to expect. However we were delighted with the property! The check in was efficient and staff very friendly. We had reserved a studio, which was clean, delightfully decorated with all amenities needed! The bathroom door wouldn’t close properly but that was the only detraction. The location was really great…only a few steps to the lake! The property is close to a grocery store and several nice restaurants. An added benefit is that is away from the crowds of King’s Beach! We will certainly rent at this property on our next visit.

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.
