The picturesque red lodge sits back among a copse of trees within sight of the busy highway. What passersby don’t realize is that behind the familiar red building the expansive property is now home to several pools, a collection of cabins, a pond, a picnic pavilion and just about everything else a family on vacation could want.
“People are always shocked when they come in the driveway,” said Annemarie Dickerson, who operates the resort with her husband, Jim. “They think we’re just one building but we’re 14 acres.”
The 232-room resort unveiled yet another attraction this spring — a 2,000-square-foot pirate ship. Labeled Shipwreck Cove, the enormous stamped concrete structure houses a bar and sunbathing deck alongside a pool and nine-hole miniature golf course. Dickerson said the ship, which was built this past winter, was the culmination of years of planning. The Francis Scott Key’s recreational facilities have been gradually revamped during the past decade, beginning with the indoor pool in 2005 and the installation of a splash pad in 2009.

ReplyDeleteWell it isn't much of a secret. You better call now for next year and it may already be too late. They are not of the Ocean City Robber Barons and the public has rewarded them with return visits for years.
