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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
