• Cozy Cabin

  5/5

  Took my family to this lovely cabin for Spring Break. We loved everything about it. Loved the fireplace. The beds were extremely comfortable. Would definitely recommend this beauty to everyone.

• Duck Creek Cabin

  1/5

  Our experience was terrible. Primarily due to the initial access to the cabin being extremely challenging, bordering on dangerous. A winter snow storm moved over the southern Utah area the day before we arrived. The property was located on primitive gravel roads with substantial slopes leading to the driveway next to the cabin. The access roads in the general area of the cabin were plowed somewhat, but the actual drive up and next to the cabin was impassable even with my four wheel drive SUV. We were forced to hire a contractor to remove snow that was several inches deep in the drive way areas, costing us another 500. Once we were able to access the driveway, we were faced with 2 1/2 feet of snow on sidewalk and stairs leading to the front door of the cabin due to the roof accumulation sluffing off on all sides of the cabin building. To gain access my wife and had to climb over the snow and 2nd story balcony to access the front door. For the next 2 hours we shoveled the snow away to gain access, something both of us in our mid to late 60s were not expecting to tackle on our first afternoon of our vacation. This was especially taxing as the Duck Creek plateau is just under 10000 feet in elevation. With substantial effort we were able to prepare the cabin for our family as they arrived the next morning. My primary issue was the cabin not being accessible by road due to snow accumulation, but more so the cabin itself - both the driveway and stairs / front door.Mike S.

  Hi Michael, we’re sorry to hear that accessing the cabin was such a challenge during the winter storm. After checking in with the homeowner, they wanted to share the following:
  - A few days before arrival, we advised you of the storm and the need for snow chains, as all roads in Duck Creek are gravel and can be difficult to navigate in winter conditions.
  - The driveway was fully plowed prior to your early check-in time, but with heavy snowfall throughout the day, fresh accumulation made access more difficult. We wish you had reached out upon arrival, as we could have sent the plowing service back to assist.
  - A significant refund was provided in recognition of the inconvenience.
  We're glad you were able to enjoy the rest of your stay and appreciate your feedback to help improve the experience for future guests!

• Very Nice Cabin

  4/5

  Had everything we needed for our stay. Very cozy and comfortable home in nice location. The only drawback was the steep, rock driveway and access made it a little difficult to go out for walks from the cabin.

• Great Location

  4/5

  Such a beautiful location. Not too close to neighbors. Cabin was high up and had a beautiful view. Cabin was spacious and had pretty much everything we needed including soap, shampoo & body wash. Couple of downfalls were that none of the doors had screens. There's no air conditioner that we saw so it made it really warm and pretty uncomfortable throughout the day.. I would only stay again during the fall/winter. I really appreciated the owner. She allowed an early check in which helped us so much.

  From the Owner: "Thank you so much for the review, Rachel! Like the majority of the cabins on the mountain, there’s no AC. Definitely a practice of opening windows at night to let the cool air flow in, keep fans running all the time, and close up the windows during the day to lock the cool air inside. Tips & tricks to help guarantee guest comfort are noted in the guest welcome book, thank you very much for your visit and we look forward to seeing you soon."

• Nice secluded vintage cottage

  4/5

  Location is very private and quiet. Relatively easy drive to both Zion and Bryce.

  The appliances are from long time ago but they fit the cottage decor and work once tou figure them out.

  There are 3 bathrooms but they are accessible only through bedrooms so it create a bit of an issue if you have more than 3 couples. We had 3 +1.

  Overall I recommended Duck Creek

  From the owner: "Thank you for the review, Wlodzimierz! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We recommend guests read the Welcome book which has instructions on how to use the vintage oven/microwave, it's a blast from the past that we know not everyone will understand on their own. We're happy to host you again anytime!"
