Very nice Vrbo!
It was spacious between the two levels. Easy check in check out. Very clean. Priced ok for spring trip. I would love to go back. Lake Franklin is a good fishing lake. We did well on the opener.

Nice spring getaway
Enjoyed our stay, the property was clean and comfortable for our three small families to spread out or be together. The kids loved the outdoors and playing by the lake.

Great central spot for the weekend
The Steam Threshers and the Trolls brought us to the area for a busy weekend and this property was perfectly placed for us. Then during the evenings we were able to relax on the shady patios. The kayaks were a lot of fun too.

Nice spot!
With 4 bedrooms, a full kitchen upstairs and a kitchenette downstairs, and three separate seating/hangout spots indoors + 2 fire pits and a nice dock … this was the perfect place for our end of school year week at the lake. They provide everything you could possibly need! (grill needs a deep clean so we didn’t use it) The host is super responsive and very friendly. Def reco if you want a super spot directly between Pelican Rapids and Detroit Lakes. We did the Troll Hunt, found them all, and had so much fun!
