Question
What is Coon's Franklin Lodge?
Answer
Spread along Trout Lake, Coon's Franklin is a family-run "All American Plan" resort. Each of the 100-year-old cabins are rustically decorated and range in size from one bedroom/one bathroom to four bedrooms/four bathrooms. Each has a master bedroom with a king-sized bed, a living room with a fireplace, and a screened-in porch. They provide daily maid service, complimentary firewood, a fridge, and coolers of ice along with complimentary breakfast. The resort has plenty of activities for all guests (regardless of lodging location) such as boating, swimming, kayaking, water skiing, walking nature trails, tennis, and more. We urge all guests to come spend the day with us on Saturday!
