Near Zion & Bryce | Hot Tub, Arcade Game Room, King Suite, Fire Pit & Generator

At The Deer Tracks Lodge, the best mountain days start with coffee on the covered deck and end with a long soak in the hot tub, a little arcade competition and s`mores beneath the stars. This dog-friendly 3-bedroom cabin sleeps up to 10, with a king master suite and 2.5 baths. Between adventures, settle in with fast Wi-Fi, cook together or fire up the outdoor grills. Zion, Bryce Canyon, Cedar Breaks, mountain lakes and miles of hiking and ATV trails are within easy reach of Duck Creek Village.

🦌 Main Floor 🛏️

The main floor includes the kitchen, living room and king master suite. The suite has its own private full bathroom, giving guests private space close to the cabin`s main gathering areas and covered deck.

The living room is set up for movie nights, slow mornings and taking in the mountain views through the windows. Start the day at the coffee bar, then carry your cup onto the covered deck as the sun comes up in the direction of Bryce Canyon.

The kitchen has the equipment your group needs for meals at the cabin, including a refrigerator and freezer, oven, microwave, air fryer, crockpot, toaster, waffle maker and rice cooker. Dining is casual and spread across several gathering spots: the kitchen island seats 4, the window table seats 2 and the outdoor table on the covered deck seats 6. There is no single indoor dining table that seats all 10 guests together.

🦌 Basement + Arcade Game Room 🎮

The basement is where Deer Tracks shifts from mountain cabin to family competition zone. The lineup includes 3 arcade machines: Terminator 2, Golden Tee and a custom-built machine loaded with more than 9,000 games spanning classic arcade titles and generations of Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation and more. The hardest part may be deciding what to play first.

The game room also doubles as an open sleeping area with 2 queen beds and a queen-size sleeper sofa. A separate bedroom on this level has another queen bed.

This downstairs arrangement works especially well for another couple, cousins or a second family traveling with the group. The separate queen bedroom offers added privacy, while the open game-room sleeping area keeps the additional beds together on the same level. Everyone sleeping downstairs shares a full bathroom with a spa-inspired feel.

🦌 Outdoor Living + Hot Tub ♨️

Outdoor time at Deer Tracks does not end when the day`s adventure does. Ease into the hot tub after hiking, riding or exploring the parks, then settle in beneath the pines as the mountain air cools and the stars come out.

The covered deck also has a fire table for cool evenings. A Traeger grill and a commercial-grade infrared Char-Broil grill are ready for everything from slow-smoked favorites to burgers and steaks.

After dinner, move to the separate fire pit for s`mores and another round of stories beneath the night sky. On a clear evening, you may even see the Milky Way with the naked eye. Bring a telescope if someone in the group takes stargazing seriously.

The cabin sits on a spacious lot surrounded by pine trees, with ample parking for your group.

The Neighborhood

Duck Creek Village is a small mountain community with easy access to Southern Utah`s national parks, lakes and year-round outdoor recreation.

You`ll have pine trees and breathing room around the cabin while still being part of a mountain neighborhood. This is not a remote, off-grid location, so you can expect to see and occasionally hear neighbors during the day.

The cabin is close to The Village, where you`ll find the gas station, country store, restaurants and pub. It is a short drive or an enjoyable walk when weather and road conditions cooperate.

The cabin sits at approximately 8,500 feet, where mountain conditions can change quickly. Roads may be clear when you arrive, but significant snowfall may occur overnight. Roads and the property are generally plowed after approximately 8 inches of accumulation or following a major storm. During active snowfall, snow may accumulate before the plows make another pass.

Complete your main grocery shopping before driving up the mountain. Cedar Mountain True Value carries a limited grocery selection, while Loose Wheels has gas, snacks and convenience items.
