We stayed 3 nights in no 23 as part of our honeymoon. The setting right on the lake was beautiful and very peaceful and within easy walking distance to a few restaurants in Tahoe vista. The cabin itself was a bit dated and in need of a clean. When we arrived, there were crumbs on the dining table and a... More

We stayed in a cabin here for 3 nights and had an amazing time. The location right by the lake in Tahoe Vista was great. We enjoyed sitting on picnic tables with a beer watching the sun go down over the lake. It was handy to have the full kitchen in the cabin to cook dinner one night. We had... More

Nice private beachside location. Rooms clean & decorated nice Tahoe cabin cozy. Full kitchen a big bonus. Highly recommended for spring/summer - haven't tried winter yet- but planning on doing so soon!

This place is great. Set right along the lake in Tahoe vista, rooms on both the lake and forest side. All rooms are a Value. Clean and comfy. Beds vary on terms of firmness. Kitchens great for prepping breakfast or dinner. All the basics right there. Safeway is a few blocks away. It's my choice place to stay throughout the... More

Great place for a family gathering because its spread out with more than enough cottages,smaller units , for everyone's budget. The people are very friendly and helpful and obliging. Close to everything on the North Shore.

We stayed in room #42, NOT on lake side. The bathroom, furnishings and kitchenette were updated, yet we felt as if we'd time traveled to 1959 - which is a good thing. Despite the room's twin plasma TV's, we were more inclined to hit the adirondak chairs on the front porch and meet the "neighbors". There's no bugs, no pests... More

We have been coming here for 20+ years and have a fantastic time every year! Your deck is just a few feet from the waters edge. A wonderful location for a family or a romantic weekend! We always get a lakeside cottage with one bedroom and two couches in the great room. They are clean and comfortable and the view... More

We walked in all friendly and excited to stay here for the second time, and the lady said: "Good news! We're giving you one night free", to which we thought, "Wow.. this is a great customer loyalty program" - only to find out it was because a construction project next door knocked out the gas line and there was no...

We had a great time at the Franciscan Lake Lodge. Booked last minute over multiple phone calls (I was in a spot with terrible cell reception and the calls kept dropping). The lady behind the front desk was very patient and continued the conversation right where we left off every time I called back after a dropped call. (Honestly I... More

We spent 3 nights and had a fabulous time. We stayed at a lakeside cabin for 2 nights and then needed to move to forest side for a night. Unit 157 (forest side) was cute and cozy and 118 (lakeside) was a little larger. The beach is so close, you just walk out the door of 118, turn right and... More
