About Duck Creek Retreats

Family-owned cabin rentals in the Dixie National Forest, 8,500 feet up.

Our Story

Born from a Love of Duck Creek Village

Duck Creek Village sits at 8,500 feet in the Dixie National Forest — a place of extraordinary beauty that most people don't even know exists. Minutes from Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Cedar Breaks, it's one of Southern Utah's best-kept secrets. We're a family operation. Every cabin we manage is treated like it's our own — because we've stayed in all of them. We're selective about the properties we take on, the standards we maintain, and the experience we deliver.
