We’re honored. We’re grateful. And yes — we’re smiling pretty big over here.
Fair Hills Resort has been ranked the #1 all-inclusive family resort in the United States by USA TODAY, and we couldn’t be more proud to share the news with our guests, our staff and generations of families who have made Fair Hills their summer tradition.
A Classic Resort Experience That Still Wins Today
For more than 100 years, Fair Hills has been doing things a little differently — and we believe that’s exactly why we earned the top spot.
Nestled along the shores of Pelican Lake in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, Fair Hills offers a true all-inclusive experience that brings families together. From lakeside cabins and hearty homestyle meals to days packed with activities and nights full of laughter, everything is designed to make your vacation easy, memorable and genuinely fun.
USA TODAY recognized Fair Hills for delivering the kind of experience many families are searching for today — unplugged, welcoming and full of simple joys.
What Sets Fair Hills Apart
Being named #1 isn’t about one single feature. It’s about how everything comes together.
At Fair Hills, your stay includes:
- Three delicious meals a day served family-style
- A full schedule of activities like waterskiing, sailing, tennis, pickleball, golf, swimming and crafts
- Daily kids programming and family-friendly events
- Evening entertainment that brings everyone together — from live music to classic resort traditions
All of it happens in an atmosphere that feels more like summer camp than a hotel stay, and more like coming home than going on vacation.
A Thank You to Our Fair Hills Family
This recognition belongs to more than just the resort. It belongs to:
- The families who return year after year
- The first-timers who quickly become regulars
- The incredible staff who bring energy, kindness and heart to every single day
You’re the reason Fair Hills continues to be a place where memories are made and traditions live on.
