In Minnesota’s dwindling mom-and-pop resort culture, Ten Mile Lake keeps it in the family

Ten Mile Lake Resort in Dalton, Minnesota, represents a rare endurance of the state's dwindling mom-and-pop resort culture. The establishment's legacy spans five generations and 120 years of family ownership. This history began with Anthony Prohosky, who emigrated from Bohemia in the late 1800s at the age of 14. Prohosky originally owned a hotel and bar, laying the foundation for a long-standing family tradition that continues to persist in the region today.
