Myself & my girlfriend decided to go for an evening at the White Fox. We went with the Frisky Fox package and stayed in the Fox's Den. After having read some of the reviews on here I was leery but I have to say most proved overly critical in my opinion. The WFI is an older Inn but it has a nice quaint feel to it. I won't deny the interior of the rooms is a tad dated in the look but its actually kinda nice, cozy almost. Yes, a coat of fresh paint would spruce it up, but the room did not look run down... if it were a Vegas hotel you be thinking it had that classic 70s/80s Vegas look/feel. And I think people need to bear in mind its not Vegas or super traffic rich area so money is not pouring into the place... so of course not every detail will be perfect or repainted every month. The only "damage" that I noticed in the room was someone had banged a chair against the wall leaving a 3 inch long dent & 1 pillow had a small tear in its corner.

Overall the room was great. A nice big comfortable bed, a small table & 2 chairs, a pretty room bathroom considering, tv & dvd, bookshelf with literary classics and our favorite part a nice gas fireplace you adjust with the thermostat (not set on a cheesy 15 minute off timer gas fireplace like I've seen in some higher end lodges in Minnesota)... it was really nice, cozy and romantic. I should note the champagne bottle greeted us as we entered the room, chilled on ice by the fireplace... very nice, enough for 2 glasses a piece. Someone noted the lower hallway where this room was was banged up, marks on the wall paint. That I'll concede, but who's hanging out in the hallway? You're in it for 5 seconds going to/from your room if on the lower level. I think many of the marks are because there's an access door to the kitchen so deliveries of food might nick the wall here and there. The towels & everything in the room seemed clean, the front desk person promptly brought us a few more upon request... and was very friendly at check-in8/10 imho.

The dining room was very nice.. clean, fireplace roaring, romantically lit, big bay windows on all walls... during dinner we watched several deer walk up into the yard feeding within 10 feet of the windows. The dinner menu had many selections... a tenderloin or something like that was no longer available (a large 8 person party had ordered all of it up). We had some nice warm bread & butter, followed by shrimp and another appetizer, both of which were excellent... had very nice salads, and steak and a chicken dish for our dinners that came with diff kinds of potatoes and veggies.. cheesecake dessert & some wine. All the food was excellent and the waitress was friendly, and engaged us answering a few question about the Inns history and the different animal that would wander past. 9/10

The 2 breakfasts we ordered that nice for room service the next morning arrived promptly when we had asked for them to be... the french toast, fruit, pancakes, etc were all excellent and the portions for more than enough. We forgot to order orange juice... my gf called the front desk asking if she could come up to get 2 glasses... 3 min later before she could head up a gentleman brought them to our room. Excellent service.

Overall I thought the place was really great.. 8/10... excellent food, a very nice room, friendly service, great view when dining. If you're going for a romantic nice out for dinner I don't think you'll be disappointed if you have realistic expectations of it... I would definitely go again.

My hubby and I got the Frisky Fox Package as a Christmas gift from family as we love to B&B it. We have been to several B&B'S around the area, the states and in B.C. This present cost approximately $200.00 and was so not worth it. Your are supposed to be welcomed with a Split of Champagne in our room which never happened and is clearly stated in the package card, It is also says you get a four course dinner for 2 but doesn't inform you you are excluded from some of the meals and salads.My husband decided to upgrade $10,00 to order the Linguine with Lobster and it was terrible.It tasted like chemical liquid smoke. I had the chicken dish and it was okay,The onion soup and the bread with sun dried tomato tapenade was really good. The breakfast was good but definitely not gourmet as indicated on the package card. No one told us about the complementary movie selection-I had to ask as this was listed on the card as well. The glasses in the bathroom were dirty,a pillow had a hole and the bathroom could have been cleaned better. The room was very small,stuffy and dry with a few cellar bugs. The only person we had contact with was the waiter who was great at his job and engaging. I was so excited to go here but I'll never recommend it to anyone.It seems they got their cash from the pre paid package and didn't care. Such a disappointment.

The White Fox Inn is located about 10 miles outside Thunder Bay. At first, I was disappointed about its location but having visited downtown TB - which is a bit of a dump - i was pleased at least to be out in the countryside even though we had to drive miles to get anywhere usually past smelly paper mills. The rooms 'could do better'. The bed cover had definitely seen better days and some of the fittings could do with refreshing - the pillows were incredibly lumpy. One day the housekeeping service simply amounted to the bed being remade - towels etc were all exactly as we left them. I don't pay an expensive hotel for that kind of sloppiness. On the plus side, the breakfasts were excellent and the staff generally pleasent and helpful. Because it was in the countryside, wildlife was plentiful and one night we watched young bears playing on the lawn with their mother on her hind legs eating crabapples.

Went for our 25th anniversary after being there with a good experience 12 years ago. The location is very quiet and private therefore away from shopping and entertainment.
We enjoyed a quiet and clean room (Elise) that was nice with a comfortable bed. Jacuzzi was excellent. Champagne as promised. However ... the quality has slipped since our last visit.
TV could not be viewed from the bed. Shower door would not close. Only had 2 towels.
Paid for a "Frisky Fox" package at the weekend rate, but the rate was not adjusted even though we went during a weekday. Had a view of parking lot while having a mediocre meal. Our actual table with the view of the backyard was given to walk ins that didn't stay the night. Had to get our own napkins and cutlery from another table. Were limited to what was "allowed" to be ordered from the menu as part of the package which is not mentioned anywhere. Even the salad at $7?? Ordered the max allowed under under the package and were served tough steak with corn. Desert was limited to 3 of the items on the menu the rest were not available. No attempt was made to credit the extras (wine) towards the extra money already paid but were billed $35 on top of what was paid. No pen or paper to make notes. The guide for the Inn was in a duo tang and in poor condition - someone had torn out a piece of the paper as they also needed to make notes. No brochure or comment sheets available.
Wait staff very limited and stretched although they were very apologetic for the issues. The issues mentioned in this review are not their fault. We never did meet the management.
Building itself has deteriorated, needs paint and facelift. The iron was electrically unsafe so we did not use.
Spent the next couple of nites in the Presidential Suite at another location and were more satisfied for less expense.
