Friendly staff welcomed us for our boys' golf weekend getaway. We did get upgraded to the Ranch House (you can hear waves crashing in on the lake shore from your room) since it was a slow part of the year (mid-May) which was a great fit. The Play & Stay Package was fairly priced, included breakfast (chock-full of gooey caramel... More

We just returned from another great family vacation at Fair Hills! I grew up coming here with my family of 7, and now it's become our vacation of choice for family reunions with my siblings and their families! The cabins are very basic, but who spends time in there except to sleep? Our kids enjoy the freedom to roam and... More

Remember Dirty Dancing?? This resort is the closest you'll get to that. We've been coming for 47 years with three generations. Each generation of kids LOVES this place--my twins call it "Fairy Hills." There are activities for all, food, maid service, the lake, a pool, etc.etc. but NO TV or phones in the cabin and Internet is limited. TRUE relaxation.... More

A family favorite for generations! My family has been staying here every week in August for about 40 years. My grandparents started the tradition with their kids, and that has expanded to kids, grandkids, in-laws and friends spanning multiple generations. We stay in multiple cabins on Lake 5 Resort, an off-shoot of the main Fair Hills Resort on Pelican Lake... More

Every week when we leave, our kids say "it is only 51 weeks until we get to come back!" We drive 15 hours to Minnesota. If you want a place where the second you cross the entry arch, your world slows down, and it's all about your family, relaxation, and doing as much or as little as you want to... More

My wife and I have returned to Fair Hills every year since 1984 only missing a couple years due to work. Fair Hills is Summer Camp for the whole family and you are made to feel like family, especially upon your return. You may partake of anything "Summery," whether paddle boating, swimming, canoeing, fishing, sailing, power-boating, water-skiing, golf (on their... More
