The Franciscan Lakeside condominium development has an interesting history. The complex was originally built in the 1960’s-1970’s.

It was originally developed as a motel and you’ll see that in the building design.

Later it was converted into a motel cooperative, and most recently the units changed their legal status into a condominium development.

The Franciscan Lakeside Lodge has approximately sixty-three (63) units with eleven (11) lakefront units.

Half of the units are located on the lakeside of Highway 28 (lakefront side – two locations) and the other half of the units are located on the non-lakefront area, or mountain-side/pool-side of Highway 28/complex.

In real numbers this works out to be approximately thirty-three (33) lake-side units and thirty (30) units are located on the mountain-side (non-lakefront portion of the development).
