Great stay! Host was very communicative and flexible with our check in and check out requests and even gave us a heads up on traffic and weather for the drive there. Check in was very easy and property is very clean. There was welcome basket which was a nice touch. This property had everything we needed, kitchen supplies, snow play, s’mores kit, etc. cannot wait to visit again.
This property is beyond gorgeous! It’s warm, cozy, spacious, well-equipped, immaculately clean, and has endless amount of entertainment options for all to enjoy! Communication was quick. Directions and home are clearly labeled. We’re hoping to get back there to make more memories soon.
We stayed at this same cabin last year and it was amazing as usual. The location and views are great as well as the attention to detail. The bathrooms have plenty of towels, the kitchen is well equipped, the basement entertainment options kept the family busy. The cabin is also very roomy with an awesome wrap around porch and incredible views. We would happily book here again every summer.
Beautiful property with so many amenities! It was well stocked with everything needed to enjoy our stay! Loved the kitchen and the spacious living area!

This is a very nice cabin with plenty of room for my friends and family. Loved the layout which provided the perfect space for family gatherings around the kitchen/living room. The deck also provided a nice space to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunsets.
We had a wonderful time with a group of friends on a guys fishing trip. The property offered a variety of different amenities, and the host’s hospitality was amazing. The property was also really well-maintained and clean throughout. The host offered great communication the entire time and we had no issues whatsoever. Will absolutely be booking again!

Thank you Daniel, You group was fantastic!, Clean, respectful, and super quiet! We hope to have you guys again for sure. October/November is the best time in Duck Creek.
My family and friends had an AMAZING time at this cabin. We have been coming to Duck Creek for many many years and this cabin is a must go back cabin for sure. Super clean Cabin.
Thank you
The cabin was amazing and really big. It was clean and organized very well. We could tell whoever owns this cabin has put so much love and time into every detail. We have been coming up to duck creek for over 20 years and this was by far one of the top renting experiences we have ever had. The kids loved the basement and the pool table, the view was great, i could go on and on. We will definitely be coming back !

Thank you so much, your family was awesome and so respectful of property. Please consider us on future visits!
The cabin is a dream and ideal for larger groups. It’s truly the most cozy! The kitchen and great room are lovely for sharing special memories, and the separate floors almost act as separate wings for privacy. The area is close to Cedar Breaks and within 45 minutes of Bryce and Zion and many other gorgeous and stellar hikes and places.
If you’re going in the winter, make sure you have chains and 4-wheel drive!
We had an amazing experience at the cabin which pictures don’t do justice of how beautiful and big it is. Mark was very attentive and very communicative. The cabin was super clean and decorated with every little detail you can think of. The setting of the cabin is breathtaking. Will definitely recommend it to family & friends and would love to come back again.

I knew it was going to be wonderful by the photos & reviews..but the Host made our stay and entire vacation EVERYTHING and MORE. I’ve never had a Host be as willing to give his time to share his knowledge and recommendations as Mark. This cabin and Duck Creek Village made quite an impact; best trip ever taken. 10/10, 5 stars, A+.
THANK YOU MARK (:

It was a pleasure Leela and family. Your group was wonderful and was serious about getting their share of Utah done! It was awesome hearing about your adventures and its always those little side trips from the big adventure that makes it a little better. Keep us in your future plans and there's so much more to explore!

Meadow view lodge was the perfect family cabin for our week long getaway. The home is very clean, comfortable and full of entertainment. We really enjoyed the game room where the adults could play rounds of pool or poker while the baby and kids enjoyed the loft and living room area. The kitchen was well equipped and was the perfect setup for our family meals. Mark the host was very nice and helpful. When in the small town of duck creek be sure to stop by aunt Sues and try their sourdough cheeseburger and fries! The cabin was tons of fun and we will definitely be back!

A great weekend getaway. Close to town and all the fun. Beautiful sunsets in the evening and perfect patio space throughout for all your family dinners. The smoker was a nice touch to some of our meals. The cabin is stocked with almost everything you'll need for any meal.
Love the campfires and family memories we all shared.
Owner has said they are on a list for HVAC.
Most of the year it's not required but for those 80° days the cabin had a hard time cooling down.

So glad your family enjoyed the stay. We are still on the list for the AC unit to be installed, thankfully we are into mild temps now with the thunderstorms sliding thur. We will soon be breaking out the hot chocolate and mittens and enjoying the great fall colors. Hope to see you!
Beautiful cabin that is fully stocked! Perfect location overlooking meadow behind the village. Cabin had everything…from snacks and a s’mores kit upon arrival, to plenty of dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, seasonings, coffee, laundry detergent, shampoo, soaps….I mean, it literally felt like home! The intercom through the house was also super convenient and fun for the kids! Clean and roomy bedrooms, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, it was just perfect! Owner was quick to respond. Def recommend.

Thank you Amy, your family is always welcome to return. The kids would love the winter here also. I'll save you a six ball!
Absolutely loved the cabin. It could have easily held another large family along with my family of seven. The host we fantastic to work with and kept me updated on the weather and road conditions. The extra treats were nice as well.
Duck Creek Village in itself is a nice little community. Had hoped to attend their community church but the snow caused the service to be cancelled.
There is so much to see in this part of Utah and were not able to see it all in our five days so will be back and will definitely stay here again if available.

Our family had a wonderful weekend at this beautiful cabin. It’s so large and cozy, and has an amazing fully stocked kitchen. Plenty of comfortable beds, space to spread out, and beautiful views. Even better than the pictures. The property manager Mark made check in and check out very easy, and was available for any questions we had. Beds were comfy, heater worked great, and the business office was helpful when I had to do some work. Great internet as well. Highly recommend this VRBO. Wish we could have stayed longer. We plan to be back! Thanks Mark.
