“A Fun Summer Week for the Family”

Reviewed June 11, 2013

In 2012 my family stayed at Fern for a week long summer vacation. It was our third visit to Fern, all summer week-long vacations in 2009, 2010 and 2012. Since the stay was somewhat pricey, slightly higher than other summer resorts I have higher expectations. The staff is friendly and well trained. The food is good. My only complaint about... More

“Best Sunset view , near Casino Rama”

Reviewed May 5, 2013

We went to Casino Rama on 4th may 2013 .While searching for hotel we saw Ferns resorts board on roadside.. ....We went to check the rooms availability. It was much more than our expectations. 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

Thank you for staying with us back in May. I would agree with you, we do have the best sunset views. Fern Resort has a lot of accommodations with a deck or a balcony facing west. When the sun goes down over Garnett or Horseshoe island it does create a magnificent sight. Come back and see us again this summer.... More

“Vacation as it should be”

Reviewed April 17, 2013

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

“As Canadian as Maple Syrup :)”

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

Thank you for posting your comments here on TripAdvisor. I love to hear it when kids value there stay at Fern right up there with their Disney experiences :). The March Break is a great time for families to get together and enjoy spring. This year we had the best of both worlds; skating on the lake, maple syrup gathering... More

“Very enjoyable stay”

Reviewed April 15, 2013

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,...

Thank you for posting your comments here on TripAdvisor and I glad you enjoyed your stay. We have been in the process of renovation accommodations in order to give everything a nice new clean look.

“Vintage = Old”

Reviewed February 22, 2013

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

Thank you for posting your comments here on TripAdvisor. Family Day Weekend was certainly a busy one and the weather was brisk but definitely bright and sunny for enjoying all the outdoor fun that was scheduled.

“Great Family Getaway”

Reviewed December 28, 2012

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. Everything is included at Fern, so it is quite expensive - $900 for our... More
