Our story

Guest room view at Duck Creek Village Inn

We run Duck Creek Village Inn the way we like to be hosted when we travel. You get honest route advice, local tips on what to skip, and a quiet building at 8,400 feet.

Most guests book here to reach Cedar Breaks, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Brian Head, or Navajo Lake. Some come for the trailheads around the village. We handle the logistics so your mornings start with the park, not the planning.

The cooler air pulls you up from the desert. The pine forest and the quiet keep you here longer than you planned.

Why Duck Creek works as your mountain hotel

Duck Creek sits at 8,400 feet on the Markagunt Plateau. Pine forest, meadows, and aspen groves keep it 20 to 30 degrees cooler than the desert towns south of here.

From the inn you can reach Cedar Breaks in about 25 minutes, Bryce Canyon or Zion’s east entrance in about an hour, and Navajo Lake in 10 to 15 minutes. Zion Canyon itself is closer to 1.5 hours. You sleep in the mountains and spend the day wherever you want.

This high valley was Southern Paiute country, then a summer range for Cedar City’s dairies, then a 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps camp, and finally a Hollywood “movie ranch” — which is how the cabin town got its name.

What guests ask us

A few of the questions we answer most often. Call or email anytime — we are happy to help you plan.

Is breakfast included?

Yes — hotel-room guests get a continental breakfast each morning. Our three cabins have full kitchens instead, so cabin guests cook on their own schedule.

Are pets allowed?

Select cabins are pet-friendly; the hotel rooms are not. Tell us you are bringing a dog when you book and we will put you in the right cabin.

How high is Duck Creek Village, and will the altitude affect me?

The village sits at about 8,400 feet. Most guests feel it only as cooler air and easy sleep, but drink extra water your first day and take the first hike slowly if you have come up from the desert or the coast.

Are you open in winter?

Yes, we are open year-round. Highway 14 up to the village is plowed and stays open all winter — the seasonal closure is SR-148 above us to Cedar Breaks, not the road to the inn.

How far are the national parks?

Cedar Breaks is about 25 minutes, Navajo Lake 10 to 15, and Bryce Canyon or Zion’s east entrance roughly an hour each. Zion Canyon itself is closer to 90 minutes.
