I don't consider myself to be a picky person. Our family certainly doesn't need a 5-star resort to enjoy ourselves, but if your going to charge comparable prices you better be able to back it! As soon as we arrived we were disappointed. I was reminded of the resort from "Dirty Dancing".....dated and still set in the 60's. The resort... More

This was our third year visiting Fern Resort on Family Day weekend and it was nice to see so many familiar faces. As always, we had a great time during our visit - taking in many activities such as snow mobiling, ice fishing, water colour painting and tiger wire jewelry. This was our first year we caught the Circus Show... More

Sunny skies welcomed us to a 3-day winter break. Overnight snow fell so we were able to engage in snowshoeing, ice skating, hockey, dogsledding, and sleigh rides. What more could you want? There was evening entertainment and bingo as well. New menu was great! The veal chops were liked by all in our party. But still vote the peanut butter... More

We finally made it to Fern Resort during the winter. We just returned from spending four nights there and got to experience their New Year's Eve Gala. Just like our summer vacations at Fern, our winter getaway was wonderful in every way. The food is always spectacular. Full tableside service, or a buffet for the kids. Breakfast, lunch and dinner...

We decided to go again after looking through their website and seeing that it looked renovated and modernized from what I remember of it in the past. When we showed up we parked in the front and walked into lobby check in. I... More

Stayed as part of a conference. The rooms are very 1980's and could use some updating. The good - clean (my tub sparkled), fireplaces that actually work, wonderful view of Lake Couchiching, excellent food and service, small refrigerator in the room. The bad - very dated, rooms have two double beds, tiny bathtubs. I think they have great programs for... More

Our family of five enjoyed our first stay here and have these highlights to share: PROS: - varied and stimulating activities for all age groups, adults and kids - dedicated staff who worked hard to ensure a successful stay (hats off to the toddler caregivers--no easy task taking in our 14-month old, and to Crazy D who elevates bingo to...

Spent a week at Fern Resort Aug. 2011 (our 6th visit). Our kids are aged 9, 9, 14. We travelled with family friends who had 1 son (14). We all had a great time & for the first time our twins fully participated in almost all the Youth Program activities (they loved their Counsellors Trevor & Jamie). Our teen daughter... More
