Douglas Fir Resort and Chalets

8/10 Good
"The location was great, with a bus stop to the main town area right outside and only a short ride there. I loved the space, and having a fireplace was a great addition as it was a bit chillier in the mountains than I had anticipated. The only thing I think was a bit misleading is that it claims to have a "waterpark". I think that is a bit over ambitious for what it has. I wasn't expecting anything grand, but it really is just two slides going into a small pool, a separate small shallow "pool" for little ones and then two hot tubs with very weak jets. The pool the slides go into is not for swimming and playing in either, it is really just the landing spot for the slides. It would be better advertised as having waterslides but that's really a small thing. I do think they could use some improvement for the hot tubs and the strength of the jets though."
