What we do

  Thought you might like to see a few more of the things that keep us busy. We put up vertical blinds in cabin #5. They were too long so Bob had to cut them off.   I have been painting a few screens in between guests. The rain makes it a challenge to find […]

A tricycle parade

  The little children are so much fun. They are so happy doing such simple things like riding tricycle. Ben, Connor and Jennifer are cousins from Iowa who just love to be together. Jennifer has been coming to Dickerson’s resort for 5 years and the twins were here for their 3rd vacation in cabin #12. […]

Fun work at Dickerson’s Resort!

Roger and Judy helped us cut some dead branches in the trees. Roger is VERY tall which makes it easier for him to reach high places. Thanks Roger. I don’t see those dead branches anymore when I sit on the Adirondack swing by the store! Bob and I washed the trapezoid windows in cabin #6. […]

Projects & fun at the resort

  Today was the day to wash the skylight in cabin #6. These is easily done by using  a ladder to get on the roof of cabin #5 and then stretching to step up to the roof of cabin #6. It’s much more fun and exciting than it looks! 🙂   This is the view […]

A day at Dickerson’s Resort-June 13th

  On Monday morning when I was brushing my teeth I looked in the mirror opposite the window and I saw a big snapping turtle making its way to the water. It had probably recently finished laying its eggs which will hatch in about 91 days if no other animals dig them up and destroy […]

Mia writes a song

We’d like you to meet Mia. Mia is going to be 7 in October. She has been coming to Lake Florida with her mom, brother Ben and grandma Judy (sometimes grandpa Harold) all her life. Today she wrote us a song/poem. We’d like to share it with all of you.   Where the grass is […]

Building a cabin bench

  About 20 years ago (seems like yesterday) we built benches on the cabin decks. Some of them have started to rot and need to be replaced. Here’s a new project for Bob. For the first ones he was the helper. Now he gets to be in charge.   Bob took the old bench apart […]

Fun on Memorial Weekend

  What a great Memorial Day Weekend we had! We had nice guests and the weather was better than we expected. DeeAnn was here with her daughter Birhane who is from Ethiopia. What a little cutie! They were joined by DeeAnn’s parents from Goodhue, MN. DeeAnn and Birhane had a good time together in the […]

Here’s what we’ve been up to.

Bob disconnecting cabin #5 kitchen sink Here’s a look at some of the things that happened at the resort last week.   A couple of weeks ago we decided to put new counter tops in cabins #2 & #5. We received some really nice counter tops from friends who were getting new, that if cut […]

Life at a Minnesota Cabin Resort

It is wonderful to have the ice off of the lake. It gives us hope that summer will come. The loons arrived before the ice was totally gone, but swam between the floating masses of ice. Now that the is is officially gone as of April 16th, all of the wildlife are coming to visit. […]
