Summer All-Inclusive Fun at Fern Resort

I needed a break this summer! A break from making lunches, dinners, making beds and doing laundry!  Most summers we have a little getaway…we’ve tried renting a cottage (way too much work) and visiting Muskoka, Niagara and even Blue Mountain, but we really lucked out this summer with a weekend at Fern Resort!

Along with my bestie, Kathryn, and our kids, we headed only an hour and a half away to a little paradise in Ramara (near Orillia) in Ontario to enjoy some summer all-inclusive fun at Fern Resort.

1.  Fern is All-Inclusive:  
When you are looking to budget your summer vacation, think all-inclusive, just as you would on an island getaway!  No need to open your wallet at all (only alcoholic drinks are extra). Do the math – when you add the hotel stay, all amazing meals, activities, child care, sports and it adds up to incredible value! Fern Resort provides all the essentials to create a busy and active family adventure; meals, accommodations, child care, entertainment, shows, water sports, adventure sports, pool time, golf, sporting equipment, mini golf, bike, child care (did we mention that already?) and more!

2. Try Something New:
Always wanted to try golf? Fern will let you borrow some clubs so you can hit their 5 hole course!  You can play each day with no added green fees!  Haven’t played tennis since you were a teenager?  No problem, grab a racquet from the sports club and hit the court!  Take out a cool quad bike through the trails, fish from morning to night, run around on top of the lake in the Zorb bubble, try a zipline, shoot some hoops, beat your kid at shuffleboard, hit the mini golf course or try a kayak or peddleboat with the kids- all included with your stay at Fern.  Came to relax (I hear ya), sit by one of the pools and watch the kids splash around while certified life guards keep watch.  My boys LOVED the diving board competitions while I loved the lounge chairs! Something for everyone!

3.  Meals for Everyone:  
What an awesome break for mom when you go to Fern! Pick something off the menu or let the kids be independent at the kid’s buffet. Either way, there will be NO arguments at meal time and something for everyone (even those picky eaters). Homemade bread and signature honey is on every table for dinner. Choose four course a la carte meals every day with several options if you have a special diet. Fern is very accommodating when it comes to allergy, vegetarian/vegan, gluten-free or low fat/carb diets. I love the desserts at Fern…you have to try the Peanut Butter Pie!

4.  Kids Feel like Grown Ups:
With the kids programs for toddlers to teens, all the littlest visitors will have something to do. Visit the play village while mom and dad lounge by the pool or have a romantic dinner, try the ropes courses with your buddies or even play a family round of mini golf- the kids will love feeling independent as they follow their own schedule and find an activity they love. 


5.  Incredible Entertainment for the Whole Family:
Each night, Fern has a special guest or show;  Magicians, Hypnotists, Staff Bands, karaoke contests, dance parties, animal shows and more.  The best part is that guests (including the kids) get to participate and get on stage! Whether you sit on your chair with a drink and some popcorn or brave it up on stage, you will be sure to laugh and be amazed each night!

If shows are your thing, just head over to Mary Lou’s for some billiards, Bingo (with prizes), ping pong or video games. Our boys felt like they were in a pub and loved every second!

 6. Breathtaking views:
Watching the sunset each night was nothing short of spectacular. Perfect setting for some family and BFF photos!
