About 4km from town so no hustle and bustle. Basic but not 'budget' as it felt quite luxurious for what it was. Stayed in the 2 bed one bath bracken chalet - can't fault it. ##### Louvain Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine Jan 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved our stay. Very quiet and close to Franz Josef shops although need a car to get there. Parking was excellent (next to the unit). Facilities were excellent - we made use of the washing machine and drying racks. Lots of info available at reception for things to do in the area. Comfortable beds and everything you could need in terms of cooking and entertainment/tv. ##### Katherine Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Judith Dec 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice spot to stay We had one night at Franz Josef retreat -the room was clean and comfortable ##### Judith Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sung Eun Dec 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great! ##### Sung Eun Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa Jan 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean and spacious Large 2 bed unit with beautiful views.

We had a friend traveling with us as well. When booking a 2 bedroom cabin I think most people would assume that would mean 2-4 people staying in the room. Upon check in we were charged an additional $50 for the third person. So in my mind they made an additional $50 on us for the use of one additional bath towel. A bit ridiculous considering we were the only guests for the entire night. There are plenty of other options around Franz. ##### Dustin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shailesh Mar 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay The motel is conveniently located and reasonably priced. Even being close to Hwy 6, it was quite. There was separate parking near cottage. It's very well maintained. ##### Shailesh Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels.d178276.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178288-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Nashville-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Nashville-Downtown-Convention-Center.h29856182.Hotel-Information) > > [Wink Hotel Saigon Centre - 24hrs Stay](https://www.expedia.ca/Ho-Chi-Minh-City-Hotels-Wink-Hotel-Saigon-Centre.h57142624.Hotel-Information) > > [Cappadocia Caves Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nevsehir-Hotels-Cappadocia-Caves-Hotel.h38310641.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Brockville](https://www.expedia.ca/Brockville-Hotels-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pool.0-0-d10493-tHotelswithIndoorPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels.d178245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [North Vancouver Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-North-Vancouver-Hotel.h11942.Hotel-Information) > > [Martensville Canalta](https://www.expedia.ca/Martensville-Hotels-Martensville-Canalta.h9489843.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tokyo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels.d179900.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Canalta Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Canalta-Lodge.h888459.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Kitchenettes in Brampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Brampton-Hotels-Hotels-With-Kitchenettes.0-0-d6807-tHotelswithKitchenettes.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Summit Lodge Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels-Summit-Lodge-Boutique-Hotel.h456524.Hotel-Information) > > [Clevelands House Resort Muskoka](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Clevelands-House-Resort-Muskoka.h19245331.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Amsterdam (AMS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/ams/hamilton-to-amsterdam) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Bristol (BRS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/brs/calgary-to-bristol) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to London (YXU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yxu/winnipeg-to-london) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Prague (PRG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/prg/toronto-to-prague) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lax/vancouver-to-los-angeles) ### Cruise > [Celebrity Celebrity Equinox Cruises](https://www.expedia.ca/Celebrity-Cruises-Celebrity-Equinox.cCB-sEQ.Cruise-Ship-Info) ### Packages > [Porto Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto.d603077.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Magnetic Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/Magnetic-Hill-Moncton.d6131988.Vacation-Attraction)
