About this property

Fire Pit + Stunning Views ~ 2BD 1 BTH Mountain Cabin - Quiet, Dead End Lane

Nestled on a quiet, dead-end street in Duck Creek Village, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin offers a beautiful mountain retreat for up to 4 guests, sitting at 8,600 feet in the high mountain desert of Southern Utah. Enjoy a cozy outdoor firepit, private deck with breathtaking views, and a fully stocked kitchen for home-cooked meals. Additional amenities include high-speed wifi, and an outdoor dining area on the deck.

We require 4 wheel drive and chains in the winter. We highly recommend an SUV or higher clearance vehicle for the remainder of the year as the roads to the cabin and in the village are not paved and uneven.

✓ There is no AC. We open windows and the locking screen “storm” doors at night to allow the cool mountain air in. Temperatures in the summer are generally in the high 40’s-50’s at night. Daytime temperatures are rarely above 85 degrees. We have ceilings fans in each bedroom and portable fans. We only use our ceiling fans as it is in the 60’s inside the cabin at night.

If you’re looking to unwind in nature, be close to all the area has to offer, and have the utmost privacy, you’ve come to the right spot. Here’s a bit of an overview of what to expect:

• 2 well-appointed bedrooms:
⎯▹ Bedroom 1: 1 King bed
⎯▹ Bedroom 2: 1 King bed

• Fresh bedding + towels provided
• 1 full bathroom (tub/shower combo)
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Coffee maker, Keurig, toaster, blender, crockpot, waffle maker
• Washer + dryer in garage (under cabin)
• Wood-burning stove (wood provided)
• Garage for ATV/bike storage

Experience Overview ~

• High-speed wifi
• Stunning mountain and Duck Creek Village views
• 65” Smart HDTV + DISH satellite
• Board games + puzzles
• Direct access to nature trails
• Private deck with outdoor seating
• New ( Aug 2025) Blackstone flat top griddle/grill + outdoor dining area (not accessible during winter months). We have two tanks but we don’t guarantee they will be full. They can be exchanged or refilled at True Value or Loose Wheels gas station in the village (2 miles from our cabin).

Our cabin was built in 1981 — it’s not perfect, and we don’t claim it is. But it’s our little slice of heaven, and we do our best to share it with others in an honest, welcoming, and thoughtful way.

We are directly above the Duck Creek Community Church (on the mountain), so you will hear the beautiful church bells throughout the day.

Cozy and Comfortable

This cozy cabin was the perfect place for a weeklong getaway for the two of us. The kitchen is well-appointed, the beds are comfortable and satellite TV and solid WiFi gave us all of the comforts of home. The deck with a beautiful view of the valley and mountains was great for relaxed meals and the firepit gave the place just the right "camping" touch. With easy access to nearby national parks and plenty of trails to hike, it was easy to fill our days with pleasant recreation. Special thanks to the owner for clueing us in on the Duck Creek Village Independence Day Parade. It was a fun diversion during our stay.

Misleading Description

Overall we didn't enjoy our stay. Although the area is beautiful and the cabin was charming, the mattresses were very hard. Most of windows were bolted shut so it was warm at night so we didn't sleep the first 2 nights. We left early Customer service was poor and took the attitude "Well everyone has their preferences with mattresses." They Did not care was that we weren't happy and therefore condescending. We left early and did not stay on the 3rd night. This listing words the description that you will get a cool breeze. Ther was no cool breeze because most of the windows were bolted shut. And they were screened windows. I doubt I'll be compensated for any kind of these issues as they have made no effort to do so.Also, only two of burners on the grill on the patio do not work.

Mountain Getaway

The cabin was in a beautiful location, with a wonderful deck. It was well-supplied with everything needed, including bird seed for the feeders and firewood for inside and out. Very comfortable. Housekeeping missed a few places, but nothing big. I may be old-fashioned, but to me, hosting includes doing the laundry. This is the first time, of many VRBO and AirB&B stays, that we have been asked to wash the towels.

Cozy cabin perfect for family of 4

Absolutely loved staying at this cabin for our snowy spring break. So much snow! The cabin is easy to get to with 4WD - definitely need it with how much snow Duck Creek had when we went. We saw a few 2wd cars stuck and sliding, some with chains too. Experienced winter driving is a must with this much snow. The cabin is located near the end of a quiet street, which made for a really nice peaceful trip. The back of the cabin and deck have a gorgeous view. We had to shovel snow off the deck to get to the bbq and bird feeders but that was no issue to us at all. Definitely a great place for bird watchers. Well stocked kitchen - had everything we needed and more. Beds were comfortable, cabin temp was perfect after getting heaters and wood burning stove going. We never used the TV to watch movies or anything but we took advantage of the well stocked game cabinet which was a nice touch. Owners easy to communicate with and super nice. We would definitely stay here again in any season.

Perfect cabin for our getaway

This cabin was great and perfect for a few days on our winter trip. Right in duck creek village and overlooks a big meadow. Cabin was stocked with everything..spices, pots, pans, kettle, plenty of dishes and even had birdfood for the feeders. Deck was great for sitting and relaxing in the sun even with snow around. Communication and check in went smoothly. Directions were clear. Roads are steep and dirt so if coming in winter be prepared with an appropriate vehicle. Snow melt creates lots of mud! Owner had snow shovel handy and all the tools to manage the wood fire. Any questions were answered within minutes by owner. Cabin is within an hour to Bryce canyon and Cedar breaks park. Brian head ski resort is also nearby. Small cabin with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. King beds were very comfy. Huge wood fireplace and plenty of wood provided. Bring groceries from outside of town as duck creek village has limited opportunities and not always open. Owner provides very comprehensive information. Loved our trip. Thank you Jennifer (owner)

Peaceful Escape!

We absolutely enjoyed our time at this cabin. Communication with Jennifer was outstanding and I have never had a host so kind, accommodating, and helpful in finding things to do in the area. We have used VRBO rentals for the past 6 or 7 years and this is by far my favorite. The cabin was stocked with every essential for our 5 night stay. Jennifer’s detailed directions to access the cabin were wonderful especially considering my vehicle a Buick Enclave, it was easier to access through the longer route. The beds were comfortable, bathroom very clean, and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. Our toddler was able to run around and have all the space he needed and still feel very cozy and comfortable. The location of the cabin was perfect for visiting multiple national parks, multiple lakes, streams, riding trails, anything you could think of. We even made the drive to Vegas for a day and back to the cabin by nightfall. I would recommend this place to stay for anyone, and we would stay again for sure.

great retreat

The cabin was exactly what I expected. If not better there was two of us totally enough room for four. I chose it because it was right in the middle of Bryce and Zion. If you don’t mind driving a little bit, it worked out pretty good. There are some really cool little hikes just in the immediate area as well and deck Creek is a nice spot to throw a little flyfishing in. We did not ATV, but there are a ton of trails around there and some rentals that you can get out and have some fun.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

Host profile image
We are native to Utah. I am a Utah real estate broker. We love the outdoors! I have been involved in the vacation rental business for 30+ years....at one time managing over 90 vacation rentals in Salt Lake. Now having my own and managing a few for others I can provide the attention to detail I was unable to provide when handling so many. In addition to our cabin in Duck Creek, we have a 4 bedroom 4 bath and a 2 bed 3 bath w/loft in Cottonwood Heights, Utah (suburb of Salt Lake - at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon).

Why they chose this property

We bought the cabin in June 2015 after falling in love with the area on our first trip in April 2015. During that trip we visited Zion National Park (it was like summer that day in April), came back to Duck Creek and had 5" of snow that night. We went to Bryce Canyon the next day and had snow again. The following day we went to Kanab to visit Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and had very nice spring/summer weather.....WE HAD ALL FOUR SEASONS IN ONE TRIP!!!! We loved it so went back to look at property and bought our Pine Ridge Paradise!

We wanted a vacation spot of our own to share with our now 11 year old little girl (she was 1 when we purchased the cabin)
The views are spectacular from the huge deck!
The deck is so spacious and we love the 75 foot trees all around.
The wood burning stove in the living room is wonderful!
The cabin is bright and open~not dark and closed in like so many we've seen.
It is easy to do so many things yet just as easy to do nothing and relax!

What makes this property unique

Our fabulous Pine Ridge Paradise is on a dead end street providing privacy AND very little dust issues from cars and ATVs rushing by!!!! This can be a big issue in our area! The views of Duck Creek Village and the surrounding mountains are outstanding from the huge deck....one of my favorite things to do it sit on the deck and watch the birds, wildlife, big clouds in the sky and storms roll in! We also love spending time around the huge fire pit area near the garage playing our hand made corn hole game, roasting marshmallows and STAR GAZING!

Accessible year-round. There are two ways (roads) to access the cabin from Duck Creek. I have an all wheel drive medium size SUV that has never had an issue in the summer. We do use our 4 wheel drive truck (with plenty of weight in the back) in winter and spring.

Fully equipped "cabin" more like a small home with all the conveniences (internet, DISH TV, refrigerator, oven, stove, microwave) yet being up on top of a mountain next to wildlife!
