The Neighborhood:
Duck Creek Village is a small, quaint mountain town that offers quick access to Southern Utah's best national parks. Although we are 'in the mountains,' we are not 'off the grid' and we do have neighbors nearby, so you can expect to see and hear others during the day. The cabin is very close to 'The Village' where the gas station, hardware store, restaurants and pub are located. It's a short drive or a nice walk to get there.

Other Things to Note:
We highly recommend that you complete your grocery shopping before driving up the mountain, as there are very limited options for groceries on the mountain. The hardware store has a small grocery selection in case you forget any odds and ends, but we would not recommend relying on this for your entire trip. There are restaurants in The Village and their hours vary depending upon the season. 🛒🍔
