Merry Dale Resort History
Resort: Merry Dale Resort has been on the shores of beautiful Lake George since the early 1900s. Several owners and many updates through the years led to John and Ruth McEnroe ownership in the 1980s. They owned and lived at the property until the early 2000s. Our cabins are now all individually owned by a wonderful group of couples and families that make up our condo association. Ben and Kourtney have been the rental and property managers since the summer of 2019.
Management
Hello! We are Ben and Kourtney Berscheit! We live nearby the resort in town Rhinelander. We along with our three children, Ambrose, Gertrude, and George, enjoy spending time at the resort with our guests and playing on the beach during the summer months. Ben has been a part of the resort since he was in high school helping with the property management. Years later when John and Ruth were ready to retire, we jumped at the opportunity to take over as managers. We love the beauty of Lake George and the friendships we have made at Merry Dale. We can’t wait to meet you and help you make new family memories.

Things To Do
Lake George is one of the best lakes in the area for fishing - bluegills, perch, walleye, crappie, bass, northern pike and musky - catch 'em from our piers or in the boat provided. Enjoy cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and ice fishing from your cabin door, or just relax in front of the fireplace and finish that novel. Park your sleds right outside your door for convenience.
