This is our second visit to this location. There is plenty to do to keep your family busy within the resort alone, from the play area to the waterslides. It's a quiet location, and yet close to the townsite. The loft we stayed in was spacious, very clean and had a gorgeous view. It was also nice to have a... More

We checked into the studio suite and were delighted with the accommodation. The room was exactly what we expected. The bed was very comfortable, the staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The view of the mountains was outstanding, nice to wake up to in the morning. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this resort to anyone More

Can't say enough about the douglas fir and what a great family spot it is...this was our second stay, and will not be our last. They recently replaced the water slides and look to be making small improvements throughout the property. We stayed in a studio suite while some friends of ours stayed in a loft suite within the lodge.... More

This is second time my entire extended family (10 adults, and 14 kids in total) planned a winter weekend away at Douglas Fir and we can't wait to come again! The well equipped kitchen allowed us save significant $$, as we did not need to eat put, and our room which was a loft in the main lodge easily accommodated... More

From the time you check into the Douglas Fir you feel like you are 'home'. The staff is unbelievably friendly and the resort is amazing! We stayed in a loft suite inside the hotel, the most amazing thing was we didn't have to go outside when we had our bathing suites on (as we travelled in the winter) The one... More

Thank you for your wonderful comments on your recent stay with us. It is a great pleasure to hear that you felt at home during your time at the resort. Our giant indoor playzone is perfect for parents and kids alike and we designed it in mind of parents who want to assist their younger children/play in the playzone themselves.... More

My wife and I and our two children just stayed here last night, and I must say that I knew nothing about this resort since my wife had made the reservation. However, it was a kid's paradise with not one, but two waterslides and a fun Playzone area. Even Dad had a great time on the waterslides. Jana was extremely... More

We stayed in a bachelor suite complete with kitchen and a lovely mountain view. While the room itself is pretty simple and far from flashy, there were plenty of touches that show the resort staff are proud of what they're offering. All the dishes and utensils were stored/displayed nicely and we had a number of dishwashing towels to choose from... More

Thank you for your great review. Our Bachelor Suites while being our best value option, still provides all of the same amenities as all of our other rooms including great mountain view from the balconies Coffee filters are provided in all rooms and are located in the coffee packets themselves.
