This place needs new management. The whole place is falling apart and the hospitality is very poor. Lower your standards if you plan to stay at Douglas Fir.

We loved the waterpark and the kid zone. We also liked the different options for the rooms as we had a large group so found the chalet option was perfect so we didn't disturb any neighbors with 10 kids in there during the evening

We love coming here every year for our Christmas tradition but every year the place gets worse. It needs a major upgrade. Pool was closed. Outdoor hot tub was luke warm. The shower in the room was either hot or cold. There was duct tape holding tiles together in the living room and black burn marks all above the fireplace. We would def be op n to paying more if the place was renovated but it’s just falling apart and it’s very sad.

Overall, it was a really great place for the price we paid. Three of the burners on our stove did not work. The bathroom fan and the range fan did not work. We did not notify the front desk about these until check out as it was not a big deal for us, but thought they should know about it. The outdoor hot tub was not very hot and the water level was quite low. It was only waist deep unless sitting on the floor. During our 4 day stay, we only briefly used it one time, for this reason. The staff was all great and we loved having he option to prepare our meals and sit in front of a fire every evening. I will definitely stay here again.

Last stay at Douglas Fir
Main reason for booking was their indoor waterpark. 15% discount for it being closed due to a pump issue was unacceptable but unfortunately we were notified with too short of notice to switch to another hotel without incurring additional costs.

A family oriented hotel. We are a family of five and appreciate the space to have a kitchen and living area. This hotel is affordable. A bit outdated, but if that makes it affordable I don't mind. Unfortunately the regular pool is closed since COVID and never reopened (the pool is not really advertised so that is fair), and during this stay the maintenance of the waterpark got extended which resulted in being closed as well. It was a disappointment for our kids, but we received a discount as compensation. We still enjoyed the outdoor hot tub and indoor play zone.
