Disclosure: This post for Fern Resort: all-inclusive family vacations made easy was sponsored by Fern Resort who hosted us for our weekend away but as always my opinion is my own. Rest. Relaxation and to put it simply, bliss. This is how our entire weekend felt at Fern Resort in Ramara, Ontario. A short hour and 50-minute drive from our home in Mississauga to complete stress-free vacationing. Fern makes it easy to sit back and enjoy your time there because you literally have zero to ...
