Drop Tyne Lodge

1-308-425-6269

Drop Tyne Lodge is a dependable, dog-friendly hotel in Franklin, Nebraska, just off U.S. Highway 136 in the Republican River valley. River access is about 3 miles away, and Harlan County Reservoir — Nebraska’s second-largest lake, with 75 miles of shoreline and some of the state’s best walleye fishing — sits around 15 miles west.

Minutes from downtown Franklin and within easy reach of Kearney and Grand Island airports, we offer clean rooms, friendly service and free parking at the door. A practical base for anglers, hunters, work crews and anyone crossing south-central Nebraska, where farmland runs to the horizon under wide-open prairie skies.
