    I married into a family that comes here annually, three generations and counting…read more This is a great place to do a week together as a family in the summer. For the kids -with endless energy- there are both planned activities and ready access to all sorts of things to prevent boredom. All sorts of water toys and playmates and a variety of land games too. For the adults, it's a genuine place to unwind. Ample opportunities to share in the adventure, as a family or on your own. From planned things (closest to the pin, waterslide) to spontaneous (grab a kayak and explore the lake). Or take your favorite book and rotate between your porch, the deck, and the lawn. The cabins are simple and relaxing, and it's nice to fall asleep in the afternoon to gentle waves. Even the wifi has been upgraded in the past few years for those pesky moments when you need it. Meals are held in a dining hall with servers. The food's not amazing but usually fits the bill after a day in the sun. Timing is never strict. What this place is not: a luxury resort with catering staff. If you're expecting St Regis of the Woods, reset. The amenities are from a bygone era, the staff is exceptionally polite but aren't here to run drink orders, and the grounds are simple but not overdone. You won't find TVs or a high-class cafe, nor room service and gourmet cuisine. You will find time to actually take a break and recharge. Honestly, it's hard to think of how Fair Hills could improve. Sure, the cabins could use some updating (though I suspect a massive capital cost). And it'd be nice for places a bit nicer for adults to congregate, maybe stocked with some beer (most common spaces are kid-friendly, and so not too comfortable). But the easiest thing would probably be an upgrade to the coffee, which for a San Francisco snob always leaves me hanging.

    Our Family has been coming here for over Fifty Years. And there is a reason for that. We continue…read moreto have the best week of the Year here. It's a place where we can unwind from the hectic work Year. Memories are plentiful. While there have been many upgrades over the years, it still feels like the first time I came here in 1971. Grew-Up with many families that come the same week we do. Do yourself a favor and give Fair Hills a try. I think you may feel the same as our family has all these Years
