“Douglas Fir's bungalows offer a distinctive charm, catering especially to families with young children, but some may find the decor a bit dated. The resort's commitment to sustainability and the convenience of the Banff shuttle are definite pluses. For families prioritizing kid-friendly facilities alongside mountain access, this could be a very good choice.”
