Really nice safe fun place especially for families. We visit with teens and really love our time there. The teens get to enjoy Mary Lou's because it's a fun place to play pool table tennis or arcade games well into the night since our accommodation is a quick walk away I don't worry about where they...

As always, the staff was exceptionally welcoming, friendly, and ready to help at a moments notice. Special thanks to our wa...

Best spot for a family vacation, hands down. If you have kids, this is the place to go to get that authentic lake vacation. Boating, swimming, fishing, beaches, pools, sports, crafts, activities, you name it, Fern does it. There is so much to do you almost need 3 or 4 days to do it all. Staff are s...

Had a fantastic four-night couple's stay at the Fireside Inn. Everyone we encountered on staff was friendly and willing to help. They seemed willing to take extra care to disinfect and clean surfaces. The grounds offer a lot to do, and there's never a shortage of activities to do while you're there,...

Nice resort in a beautiful location. The resort and rooms are incredibly clean and very well kept, though a little bit dated. The facilities are great, and the staff is amazing. There is a wide variety of menu choices, all of which are great. The desserts are delicious. There is lots to do; I recomm...

I got severe food poisoning after eating a sausage from the kids buffet. I'm happy it was me and not my toddler! It seemed a bit pink at the time. General manager takes no responsibility because it was an isolated experience during our visit. I had no prior symptoms, but was vomiting profusely on th...

We've gone for 2-5 days every summer for the past 4 years. The staff who look after the kids and supervise the kids programs are great. My kids love it and always run right into the kid area! It's so great to get bit of a break from them so the adults can enjoy other activities. The food is abun...

Perfect for family day weekend. Lots of outdoor and indoor activities. Staff is so accommodating. Lots of food options in restaurant (vegan, veg, gluten free, etc). A bit dated but it works. Reminiscent of Kellermans from Dirty Dancing!

Not a bad place. Wonderful warm lake! A lot of water activities, including fishing - the children were not dragged away, the fish is small, but they bite every minute!
For adults there are catamarans, paddle boards, canoes, canoes and, the pearl of the water park is a small Hobby type sailing boa...

This family reunion for June 2019 was planned and reserved in Oct 2018. Hotel staff was asked to accommodate our group of 13 at one table in the dining room, but was told this was not possible. Food service and quality was abysmal and it appeared nobody was checking what came out of the kitchen. ...

Great spot. We've been here twice, annually in the fall, for 24 hour stays and were quite pleased on both occasions. We will be back in the future with a larger group as service is very good, there are numerous activities and ongoing improvements to the premises are impressive.

The resort is in horrible condition. It is very run down and looks like they haven t maintained it over the last 10 years.
Food was cold and bland at dinner.
We had lunch with a staff member who was brutally honest. This individual said all summer staff believe the resort will go under soon. Als...

The food was absolutely horrible. Every meal was served cold, even the soup was barely warm that my husband and I went off the resort to eat. They have menu that cannot uphold it's vision or standard. Lots and lots of up grades are needed within and around the entire place. Appeared very run down an...

I've been here multiple times for conferences in the spring and fall. The location and rooms are beautiful. The best part about Fern is the staff, they are always friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

It really doesn't matter which room you get, they are all very nice but it's always nice to hav...
