A World Away Is Not So Far Away

There’s a place you can go—it’s not far away but will leave you feeling like you’re in a different world. It’s a place where times slows down, families come together, and lifelong friendships are made. It’s a destination vacation in your own backyard!

    Located in northwest Minnesota, just outside Detroit Lakes, you will find Fair Hills Resort, recognized as one of America’s Best All-Inclusive Resorts. ​

    Nestled on 40 acres on the north shore of Pelican Lake, in the heart of Lakes Country, you will find a slice of Americana, owned and operated by the same family since 1926. With over 100 cabins, Fair Hills is able to accommodate groups, friends, and families of all sizes​ and allow them to come together for a getaway at the lake, while still allowing everyone to have their own space.

    Once you’re here and settled into your cabin, the fun begins. First, you can rest assured knowing that the friendly staff will take care of everyone’s needs and do all the cooking, cleaning, and entertaining for you. Several times throughout the day you’ll hear our bell ring to call you either to your next delicious meal or activity.

    Fair Hills offers daily supervised recreation programs for all ages—from four to 94! Younger kids will get the chance to take part in activities, from treasure hunting to baking delicious treats in the Fair Hills kitchen and enjoying a “No Parents Party” on our 55′ Pontoon Boat, The Big Pelican, where they’ll eat dinner on the water with fun and games.

    Older kids will test their skills at Capture the Flag, play Nuke ’em on the sand volleyball court, and meet up with friends for teen night out. The whole family can take part in our family Bingo night, Closest to the Pin contest, Trivia, and the giant waterslide that happens once a week on the golf course.

    In addition, Fair Hills offers complimentary lessons in sailing, golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming, and waterskiing. Daily activities also include a morning walk and a variety of fitness classes. Everything without a motor is included in your stay, including kayaks, canoes, sailboats, our nine-hole executive golf course, tennis courts, new pickleball courts, and many other amenities.

    You can head out for an early morning kayak, catch a yoga class, then, after stopping for lunch, you can head across the road to Wildflower Golf Course for a round of golf on our spectacular prairie links-style course. Resort guests are entitled to discounted rates on the green fees. After a round of golf you can head back to the resort for beverages, games, or music in the Perch on Pelican, our lakeside bar.

    If quiet solitude and a complete disconnect is more your speed, you can check out our sister property, Five Lakes Resort. Located just 20 minutes east of Fair Hills, Five Lakes Resort, is a little slice of paradise we call our hidden gem.

    Five Lakes Resort offers families a unique vacation in a wooded setting on a private lake. No gasoline motors are allowed on Lake Five, keeping the lake crystal clear and clean. Only guests have access to Lake Five, making for a tranquil getaway. It’s an unspoiled environment where you can get back to nature. Five Lakes Resort is simply the most relaxing place you could want to be. You’ll still have all the conveniences of home. We have 11 cabins, all well-spaced for privacy and completely furnished.

    No matter what type of vacation you are looking for, we are sure you’ll find it. We know how precious your time is, especially your vacation time. Our goal is to provide something for everyone, and for everyone to feel as though their time was well spent. Enjoy the good life with us at Fair Hills!
