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 are pleased that your overall experience at the resort was very positive, thought we do regret that the parking situation was not ideal for you. We are not able to modify some of the physical components of the parkade, however you... 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. Perhaps better signage on our part would help communicate this... More

Waterpark and indoor playground were great, and no extra cost for it, the team loved it !! Just minutes from downtown by vehicle. Free bus service. I... More

Third stay here and would come again. Everything on site, friendly staff and comfortable room, though a bit hot. We had a studio suite in main building for 13 days to celebrate our 60th birthdays and quite big enough for 2 of us. Snow and skiing fantastic. Great to have the covered garage to get in and out-no snow scraping... More

Many thanks for your comments. It’s wonderful to hear you had a wonderful time during your 13 night stay with us. Not only that, but you choose to return to the Douglas Fir Resort & Chalets time and again. Our heated parkade for guests staying within the main lodge certainly comes in handy in the winter months! We wish you... More

Stayed in a chalet suite (for 4 days) with 6 of our family members and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! Indoor parking which was appreciated!! Loads of room for all concerned, wonderful view from the balcony, and a terrific kitchen area where we always seemed to gather!! The rooms were spotless and there were lots of towels, bathing products and necessities. We... More

Stayed here for 12 nights over the Christmas holidays and loved it! Firstly the staff were some of the friendliest and most helpful I have ever met in any of the places I have stayed in around the world. This goes from the lovely people on the reception desk right through to the maintenance staff as nothing was too much... More

Stayed here for 10 nights and had a 1 Bedroom apartment in a chalet with 3 other apartments- these are detached from the main hotel - highly recommend you ask for one of these. The only down side is that you have to dress for the outdoors when travelling to and from the waterside, spa, pool and indoor play zone,... More
