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

Best hotel in Banff for families with younger children. An assortment of pools as well as other activities. Super convenient with an on site convenience store and liquor store. Wildlife right outside our window. Amazing staff who where extreamly fast and pleasant. Thanks for the room upgrade! We will definitely be back

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. Both rooms were super cozy and had everything one needed.

If you are looking for an inexpensive family getaway, this is the place for you. It doesn't break the pocket book, and has everything you need including: free waterslides, free pool, hotttubs, giant play zone, fully stocked kitchenettes, wood burning fireplace with free wood, free wifi throughout the resort, indoor heated parking (for some suites), beautiful mountain views, flat screen tv's with plug and play features.........the list is endless.

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 nearly all my family for a communal breakfast in the mornings!

The pool and play area were a tireless source of fun for the kids, and even the adults had a good time racing eachother on the waterslides. There are are also beautiful walking trails on the grounds, giving us ample opportunity to guess what animal made the various tracks we found.

To top it off, friendly staff made our trip extra enjoyable. Would definitely recommend staying at the Douglas Fir, especially during the low season when prices are reasonable.
