Great cabins on the lake, great fishing and plenty of wildlife. Quiet and scenic. Our kids and dog loved staying here.

Always love a trip to Merry Dale. I've been going there for 31 years. The cabins are clean and perfectly located on Lake George. There is an eagles nest right as you enter the resort that has provided many amazing photos.

First off, I can't say enough how awesome Ben & Kourtney where. They where such wonderful hosts. It was a weekend birthday getway for my wife with our three daughters. We rented the Point View Cabin and just enjoyed living the "Cabin Life." The cabin was clean and well kept. It was quiet and the view of the lake was gorgeous. Loved waking up to it every morning with my coffee. I would highly recommend this place.

We've tried several resorts in the area. This one is definitely the best one we've found. Lovely accommodations. The cabins are always kept clean. Lake George that the resort is on is absolutely gorgeous. We have an absolute blast. This is my 5th year and I can confidently say we'll keep coming back.

We stayed at the Bayview cabin, right on the lake. It was awesome, the people who managed it were friendly, and will the help us with anything. I was spacious, and well cared for. Everything was clean, and tidy.
8.0
Service was very good, as was the lakeside location. One issue that took away from our experience was the non-functional Wifi. As we had planned a working vacation at the cabin, the fact that the advertised Wifi did not work was a big problem for us.

Very kind people, clean cabins, Wifi was reliable and fast. Quiet, peaceful location. Would stay here again.

We have been coming to Merry Dale for over a decade. We love the relaxed atmosphere and the beautiful lake! One of my favorite weeks every summer.
