HEAR WHAT OUR GUESTS HAVE SAY!

It was our first time here, but won’t be our last

Thank you for a wonderful 3-night stay – it was our first time here, but won’t be our last!

Last night Matt played the evening show – it was impromptu. We wanted to let him know that he did a fabulous job, and to thank him for taking my request (even if it was yelled out!).

We tried to say something after the show, but the doors were locked. We also wanted to thank Matt for doing such a great job of welcoming people to the resort – it is a real knack to remember names, but it goes miles.
Not many people or many places do that – Disney cruises springs to mind – and Matt at Fern. Nice touch. Thank you again for a great show.

To the rest of the staff, thank you for a great time. We loved the whole experience.

Best Family Holiday

Absolutely one of the best family holidays we have taken. The children were entertained for hours on end, made lots of new friends, and there was plenty for adults to do too (axe throwing, anyone?!). The food offered was a good range to cater for all tastes, with the breakfasts and lunchtime poolside BBQ the highlights. My only criticism here is that the kids’ menu was the same every day, but I realized that if you wanted to ask for something else (e.g. Pasta and cheese), you should just ask and they will accommodate you.
The facilities offer a wide range of activities which you can either do at organized times, or to fit in with your own timings. We did the fishing trip as a paid extra activity and my son loved it.

Exceptional Food

I can not say enough about the quality of the food available at Fern! We had 315 people at our last conference which was definitely maxing out the available space available at Fern but the exceptional quality and service was not affected at all. I am always amazed at how smooth things run at Fern.

This place is a gem.

If you are looking for great service, a family-oriented environment with activity programs for every age, Fern is the place to go. This place is a gem. We only go in the winter to experience all the winter fun. They have all the equipment and opportunity you could ever need.

Childcare on-site included is a HUGE plus.

It’s a great alternative to a cottage weekend. Childcare on-site included is a HUGE plus. Rooms, food and entertainment are okay. Lots of fun activities to do all day. Staff is SUPER friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Overall had a great time, even more than expected.

Fantastic experience and well worth the money!

Fantastic experience and well worth the money! Snowshoeing, cross country skiing, horse and cutter rides, snowmobiling, ping pong, billiards, hiking, history tours, ice fishing, beer and wine tasting and the list goes on. Absolutely worth it for a weekend getaway both with or without the kids! The staff is super friendly and very welcoming. Definitely have to go back.

Staff Made Everything Great

We recently held a corporate dinner at Fern Resort with incredible success. The staff have instituted thoughtful COVID protocols and we felt very safe.

The food, the location and the view were wonderful – but it was really the staff that made everything go so well. Huge thanks to Jennifer Demuth

Enjoyable Getaway, Beautiful Grounds

My husband and I’s first time at Fern Resort. We had a room on a lower floor overlooking the lake. Our room had a fireplace and was a nice size. The balcony/terrace was a nice place to sit and watch the beautiful sunsets. We had 3 meals, all from a menu which allowed for a good choice of meals. Breakfast was excellent with many choices. We visited in the fall after Thanksgiving so the outdoor pool was not available but the trails for walking were lovely and peaceful and not difficult to follow. The Staff were very pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and will likely return in the summer.

a MEMORABLE Canadian EXPERIENCE

Lace up your skates and explore the 1.5km natural ice surface that winds its way through the woods. For a truly magical experience, be sure to go for a skate in the evening as well when the trail is fully illuminated – from start to finish! .
