The rooms along lakeside were very nice. Its a must stay place if you love to watch sunset . Even the breakfast was very tasty .... More

My family has spent a week at Fern for 14 years now. That says something about how nice it is. Fern isn't a vacation where you get away - its a vacation where you are going home -seeing old friends and making new ones. Its big enough to have something for everyone - yet small enough that you all know... More

The activities for the kids were top notch. Entertainment was amazing. We were there for March Break 2013. Our children are very active and they said it was as fun as the Disney Cruise we had gone on a year earlier. The rooms are rustic, cottage like - exactly what we expected from the reviews, and were clean. We found... More

Was at Fern Resort recently for a group weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay - my room was comfortable and clean (not sure if there has been a recent renovation or replacement, but I don't share the concerns of other travellers who found the decor and fittings to be dated or sub-par), the food was very good and great choices,...

I stay here for one night with my family (2 children ages 4 and 2) on family day weekend...and that was enough for me. The food was not good - sub-par would be a fair statement. Everything about this resort was "vintage" (old). The bedding needed to be replaced, along with the mattresses, and carpetting. On top of that the... More

We stayed at the Fern resort from Dec 26-28. We have a 5-yr old and are very active. Arrived at 3pm and got into our cabin early. 2-room cabin was very nice - with everything we needed plus a fireplace and two burning logs per day.
