The pet-friendly policy adds to its family-friendly appeal.

The breakfast experience at the resort is generally positive with a variety of options like cereals, fruits, eggs and gluten-free alternatives being praised. However, some guests noted issues with consistency and variety, particularly during the COVID-19 period when offerings were limited to prepackaged items. The dining experience, particularly lunches, received high marks for being excellent and diverse, although guests often suggested the addition of a bar and restaurant on-site.

The spacious rooms at Fox Ridge Resort are highlighted for their cleanliness and comfort. Many rooms offer great mountain views and are ideal for families.
