Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

A great place for your vacation!
We have been vacationing at Dickerson's Lake Florida resort near Spicer, MN for the past 15 years. We've always had such a great time there and come home with wonderful memories. What a beautiful lake with gorgeous sunsets, good fishing, cozy and clean cabins, immaculate grounds and sand beach, and lots of water toys for adults and children. This is a great place to spend a spring, summer, or fall vacation. Thanks to Bob and Connie Dickerson for maintaining such a wonderful resort and for being such good hosts during our stays.

Perfect place for a family friendly get away!
Dickerson's is the cleanest and best maintained lake resort I have ever visited. From the grounds and beautiful flowers to the beach and even the boardwalk path between all of the cabins, this resort looked exactly like the pictures I had seen on their website. The cabin that we stayed in was just as nice with a clean, "up north" feel. My children stayed active and busy by swimming and playing at the large beach, riding bikes and playing on the playground equipment provided, and fishing from the dock. The beach is very sandy and the lake is very clear--perfect for children of any age. Dickerson's provides kayaks, paddle boats, paddle boards, water bikes and a number of other water toys at no charge to their guests. The owners, Bob and Connie, were extremely personable and offer some fun resort activities such as pizza picnics or Sunday morning donuts (delicious!) or bonfires on the beach for the guests to enjoy. This was our first visit to Dickerson's but it was obvious that many of their guests were repeat customers who have made visiting the resort a family tradition. The quaint town of Spicer was close by and fun to visit as they have some cute restaurants, shops and a great city park on Green Lake. Dickerson's also has a small store where you can buy essentials and resort apparel. Overall, our experience was above expectation and I would definitely recommend Dickerson's Lake Florida resort for any family or group looking for a fun getaway!

A Perfect spot for our family to come together....welcoming & warm
My husband and I had a great time getting together with my parents, my brother and his family at Dickerson's. The "house" that we stayed in had all a nice kitchen with utensils, pots and pans and the beds and furniture were comfortable and modern. Our hosts kept the place impeccably clean and were welcoming -- including cookies upon arrival, yummy pizza on Monday night and a hay ride with S'MORES on Thursday night. We spent the greater part of a week fishing, relaxing and playing on the beach and with the hydrobikes and swings. When we were kids we used to go "up north" and this was even better for our niece and nephews. Nearby Spicer and New London are great little towns and everyone is was very nice.

Best Resort Ever!
My husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Dickersons in late June and early July with our daughters, sons-in-law and four grandchildren. The resort is beautifully kept, the fishing is great and we all enjoy using the water bikes, canoes, the beautiful sand beach as well as all the water toys. The cabins are clean and the grounds beautiful. We all enjoy the campfires, the kids love the hayride, the Sunday coffee and donuts and the Monday evening pizza party. Bob and Connie are dear friends and we have visited them for the last 16 years!

Always a Great Time At Dickersons
Thanks Bob and Connie for making my parents' 50th Anniversary so special. After 15 (or so) years, we still look forward to our visit to Lake Florida every summer! We know that we will have a relaxing, fun week (with no worries of drunken fishermen, loud parties etc.), just lots of friendly families, swimming and fishing. We appreciate the fact that we always arrive to a clean, neat, well-kept cabin with cookies and "things to do" information on the table. The flowers and the plants around the cabins this year were just gorgeous. Wish I had Connie's green thumb. We so enjoyed the 4th of July fireworks from the docks. The fireworks seemed to be going off all around us. Also appreciate all the fishing tips, and the "concierge" services you provide (not to mention the pizza and the doughnuts). Hope you have a great rest of the season. Get some rest on the off-season and we'll see you next year! Thanks again!

Fantastic Resort! Extremely Family Friendly!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Dickerson's! After trying a few different places over the years we have finally found a resort that we cannot wait to go back to! Our two year old and five year old had the best time as you will not find a more kid friendly resort. The beach is beautiful and the cabins/grounds are meticulously cared for. Bob and Connie go above and beyond to make your stay memorable (homemade donuts on Sunday morning, pizza party, tractor rides, smores, etc). This is truly a great resort!

Best week of 2013
This is our 4th year staying at Dickersons. I cannot say enough positive about our experiences! Bob and Connie make every stay an enjoyable one. The cabins are so clean and comfortable, excellent beach and the property is so clean. They make such a family orientated atmosphere with lots to do. It is truly the one place on earth I can actually relax. Would not vacation anywhere else! Love the place and the owners!

An excellent week of family time.
The cabins upon our arrival were very clean, with fresh bedding, and a kitchen that was completely stocked with a refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, plates, cups, glasses, silverware, bowles, pans, coffee pot, and toaster. Upon our entry to the cabin we discovered a plate of chocolate chip cookies waiting for us. We rented cabin #6, which is on the lake front and is shaded by several mature trees. With our cabin on the lakefront we could easily watch our grandchildren play in the grass, on the sandy beach, or play out in the designated swim area. Every evening we could look out across the lake to watch the marvelous sunsets. Our time spent there is great for family time, reading, bicycling, skiing, swimming, developing new friendships, and relaxing. The week goes by very quickly. This year was our 25th consecutive year of staying at Dickerson's Lake Florida Resort.
