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.

This place was perfect. Exactly what we needed for our 3 night stay. We were lakeside and it was just beautiful. We used the open once and the microwave often. We will definitely book again when we come back to Lake Tahoe! (We are from across the country!)

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.
