Well, let me tell you. Fern Resort is consistent. Fern Resort is the kid’s favourite place to visit and this summer our stay there was just as good if not better than last time. It was a planned surprise for the kids, when they saw the Fern Resort sign and those beautiful Willow Tree’s, my ears were ringing from the screams and enthusiasm. We checked in and off they went. Fern has everything. From golfing to a beach and pool, fishing, games(pin pong, arcades, pool table) night time entertainment to daytime activities for families and full day camp to renting kayaks and canoes(it’s part of your package). I could go on and on to all that can be done here and the staff here are superb. There’s also beautiful sunsets.
Nestled on the picturesque shores of Lake Couchiching, @FernResort is just a short drive north of Toronto. It's a place to kick back, relax & reconnect with your loved ones. #OntariosAllInclusive #Resort #Orillia #Family Click To TweetBy flook, we were there the exact same time as last year and I saw a lot of the same families from last year. Fern Resort has a lot of repeat guests and that’s what makes them so successful. They are after all one of our favourite ALL INCLUSIVE RESORTS to visit. I was looking forward to visiting the newly renovated dining room patio where we had all of our meals and chatting with our lovely servers.
I would say what I noticed the most was that the food was actually better. On our first night, look what I had for dinner. It was like eating at The Keg. The meals change daily. In the afternoon, they still do a great BBQ lunch. So, go ahead and scroll below to see what kind of food you can expect at this all-inclusive. The kids get a buffet ranging from fruit, veggies, hot dogs, steak, fresh grilled chicken breast, chicken fingers, fries just to name a few! Feed them first so you can drop them off at camp as it’s all included in your stay and come back for a nice dinner with your significant other or may it be just you.
The hallmark of any stay at @FernResort is the dining experience — fabulous food served in a comfortable and family-friendly atmosphere #OntariosAllInclusive #Family #Dining #Ontario #Resort Click To Tweet
I love a good Wedge Salad!
A very nice appetizer with our four-course meal, the mushroom toasts
Steak with Bernaise and fried onion
My favourite breakfast at Fern Resort was the Lox & Bagel
The ultimate sundae and their fabulous Honey Rolls!
Fern Resort is such a safe and fun family environment. We knew the routine from last year. Get the kids fed and drop them off at their planned activities where they can make new friends at camp. Papa Ash and I lounged by the pool, had cocktails and chatted with staff that we had befriended from last year. We picked the kids up for the BBQ lunch, swam in the pool and dropped them off for lunch. My son came back and got me so he could show me the animals at the resort that were part of the resort activity called “Speaking with Wild Life“. Just one of the many planned activities at Fern.
“Family-focused fun for everyone. From the Play Village to kids’ Extreme Sports, we give children extra attention with special activities geared just for them. We have supervised programs for 5 different age levels, so your kids are never bored and short of fun things to do. They’ll have a blast and make lots of new friends.” ~ Fern Resort
This is one of their three pools. It’s heated. The toddler wading pool is adorable, shallow and safe.
If you’re done with swimming your laps or working out in their gym, detox it all out in their quaint sauna.
My son joined us for the rest of the afternoon so we treated him to tubing…twice. It was an extra cost for us at just $15 each time for about 10 minutes on the Banana Boat.
By night time we were exhausted! We had our dinner, went on a nature walk because if you know me, I always try to find nature and take pics of the beautiful grounds that often get missed.
Summer Weekend Getaway packages that are the perfect last minute vacation at @FernResort. Two or three night all-inclusive packages available for families or couples looking for a mini vacation #OntariosAllinclusive #Vacation #Resort Click To Tweet
Fern Resort just does it right and they got it down. This will always be our most recommended all-inclusive resort in Ontario, there are a couple more but this place is big and they’ve been welcoming families for over a hundred years, so I am going to sign off. Do check out my first post at Fern from last year to learn more. I hope you enjoyed my pics and sharing our family vacation with you. You can check out more on my Instagram. Next up is cottage country! Now, go book your end of summer vacation at Fern, you’re going to love it. Our room this year was in the main lodge, which was great. It’s quiet, it had a fridge, tv, 1 bathroom, 2 comfy queen beds and pull out couch in a renovated room for our family of 5 facing the lake. It was perfect.

Hi Josh! Yes, I do totally recommend it. My kids LOVE Fern Resort. I do too. I get to reconnect with my husband and my kids are off exploring in a safe environment. It really is a great place to visit for a family vacation, any time of the year.

I used to love going on a swing when I was a kid – that is until I was on a swing in a friend’s backyard and ended up having a nail in the fence gouge a big hole in my knee and I still have the scar today.
