A Family Legacy Since 1900s

Merry Dale Resort has been a beloved destination on Lake George since the early 1900s. The resort changed hands over the decades, with John and Ruth McEnroe serving as owners until the early 2000s. Now, Merry Dale is managed by a condo association made up of individual cabin owners who cherish the property’s rich history. Ben and Kourtney have been proudly managing the resort since 2019, continuing the tradition of warm hospitality and dedication to creating lasting family memories.

Ben’s connection to the resort runs deep. He began helping with property management as a high school student and, when John and Ruth decided to retire, he and Kourtney eagerly took over. Today, they live nearby in Rhinelander with their three children—Ambrose, Gertrude, and George—who enjoy spending time at the resort and playing on the beach with guests during the summer months.
