Perfect location for the price, great facilities even though sauna is not working when we visit, waterpark with 2 slides and 2 hot tub (indoor and outdoor) is still a plus! We also booked the loft with kitchenette which is very good for longer stay because we can cook our food. Service is also amazing, whenever we get back to our room from a long day tour, we get into a clean bed sheets, towels and empty trash cans. Property is outdated but overall is still amazing!

For 15 years, we used to stay at the Douglas Fir with our 3 kids every summer. It is a great place for families because of the loft beds and little kitchen. We haven’t been back for 5 years and it really has gone downhill mainly because there has been almost no maintenance or upgrades. The loft apartment had damaged furniture, filthy kitchen seating with ripped cushions. The waterside and outdoor hottub are excellent for kids but the condition of the change rooms was gross. Douglas Fir has got a lot of good features, just be prepared for a very shabby yet expensive experience

Showing its age...

The hotel is definitely showing its age. It's overdue for some renovations. The room was clean, but everything was worn out. The electrical outlets were so worn out wouldn't hold anything with any weight (like a phone charger), all the faucets were falling apart, and there was inexplicably a oval seat on a round toilet... Despite that, the kids liked the waterslide, and the outdoor hot tub was really nice after a day of hiking, and the staff was friendly

It would be a good location to stay for a few days. We found it a little hard to figure out the parking and getting to our room. The room was large. AC worked well, and the fridge is full-size. Use the bus if you can to get downtown as parking is very limited.

We had a nice stay in our room. It had enough space for four people, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. Our balcony faced the forest, and the room was quiet. The room decor is a bit dated.

Solo traveler stayed 5 nights. Housekeeping only attended to my room one time. Modest but quite spacious room with full kitchen. Wood burning fire place. Wood available in underground parking area. Waterpark, pool and indoor/outdoor hot tubs. View from outside pool was nice. No onsite grocery, store or restaurant so plan ahead. Easy access to Hoodoo trail and bus stop is across the street. Elk visited resort grounds daily. Fun to see.

Great place for nature lovers.

The resort could use some updating but we loved staying there. Staff was amazing, condo was clean and had everything we needed for our week long stay. Our condo balcony looked out over the wilderness with bike trails that doubled as game trails. A small herd of elk came down off the mountain in the mornings and grazed right under and out from the balcony. Also had a coyote trot down the trail one evening. If you like quiet and nature trails that go on for miles this is the place for you.
