The Deer Tracks Lodge — Dog-Friendly Cabin with Hot Tub, Arcade Game Room & Generator

At The Deer Tracks Lodge, the best mountain days start with coffee on the covered deck and end with a long soak in the hot tub, a little arcade competition and s’mores beneath the stars. This dog-friendly 3-bedroom cabin sleeps up to 10, with a king master suite and 2.5 baths. Between adventures, settle in with fast Wi-Fi, cook together or fire up the outdoor grills. Zion, Bryce Canyon, Cedar Breaks, mountain lakes and miles of hiking and ATV trails are within easy reach of Duck Creek Village.

🦌 Main Floor 🛏️

The main floor is home to the master suite, with a king bed and private full bathroom. Its location keeps the kitchen, living room and covered deck close by while giving guests in the master suite a comfortable space of their own at the end of the day.

The living room is set up for movie nights, slow mornings and taking in the mountain views through the windows. Start the day at the coffee bar, then carry your cup onto the covered deck as the sun comes up in the direction of Bryce Canyon.

The kitchen has the equipment your group needs for meals at the cabin, including a refrigerator and freezer, oven, microwave, air fryer, crockpot, toaster, waffle maker and rice cooker.

Dining is casual and spread across several gathering spots. The kitchen island seats 4, the window table seats 2 and the outdoor table on the covered deck seats 6. There is no single indoor dining table that seats all 10 guests together.

🦌 Basement + Arcade Game Room 🎮

The basement is where Deer Tracks shifts from mountain cabin to family competition zone. Terminator 2 and Golden Tee each have their own arcade machine, while a third custom-built machine holds more than 9,000 games spanning classic arcades and generations of Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation and more. The hardest part may be deciding what to play first.

The game room also doubles as an open sleeping area with 2 queen beds and a queen-size sleeper sofa. A separate bedroom on this level has another queen bed.

Guests sleeping downstairs share a full bathroom with a spa-inspired feel. With the games, additional sleeping space and bathroom together on one level, the setup works especially well for kids, cousins or another family traveling with your group.

🦌 Outdoor Living + Hot Tub ♨️

Outdoor time at Deer Tracks does not end when the day’s adventure does. Ease into the hot tub after hiking, riding or exploring the parks, then settle in beneath the pines as the mountain air cools and the stars come out.

The covered deck keeps everyone together with an outdoor dining table for 6 and a fire table for cool evenings. A Traeger grill and a commercial-grade infrared Char-Broil grill are ready for everything from slow-smoked favorites to burgers and steaks.

After dinner, move to the separate fire pit for s’mores and another round of stories beneath the night sky. On a clear evening, you may even see the Milky Way with the naked eye—bring a telescope if someone in the group takes stargazing seriously.

The cabin sits on a spacious lot surrounded by pine trees, with ample parking for your group.

🦌 Explore Duck Creek 🥾

Fish at Aspen Mirror Lake, Navajo Lake or Panguitch Lake. Explore hundreds of miles of hiking and ATV trails around Duck Creek Village, or plan a day trip to Zion, Bryce Canyon, Cedar Breaks, Brian Head and Southern Utah’s other unforgettable destinations.

🦌 Whole-home backup power ⚡

Mountain power outages can happen. The cabin is equipped with a Generac whole-home generator that helps keep the lights, heat and essential systems running if the neighborhood loses electricity.

Duck Creek Village is a small mountain community with easy access to Southern Utah’s national parks, lakes and year-round outdoor recreation.

You’ll have pine trees and breathing room around the cabin while still being part of a mountain neighborhood. This is not a remote, off-grid location, so you can expect to see and occasionally hear neighbors during the day.

The cabin is close to The Village, where you’ll find the gas station, country store, restaurants and pub. It is a short drive or an enjoyable walk when weather and road conditions cooperate.

The cabin sits at approximately 8,500 feet, where mountain conditions can change quickly. Roads may be clear when you arrive, followed by significant snowfall overnight. Roads and the property are generally plowed after approximately 8 inches of accumulation or following a major storm, but plowing is not continuous throughout every snowfall. Please arrive with the proper vehicle and prepare for active mountain conditions.

Complete your main grocery shopping before driving up the mountain. Cedar Mountain True Value carries a limited grocery selection, while Loose Wheels has gas, snacks and convenience items. These are helpful if you forget something, but neither should be treated as a full supermarket for your stay. Duck Creek Village also has several restaurants and a pub, although operating days and hours vary by season.

House-trained, well-behaved dogs are welcome. Guests may bring up to 2 small dogs with a combined weight of no more than 75 pounds, or 1 larger dog weighing no more than 75 pounds. Dogs are the only pets permitted.

Guests provide their own firewood for the outdoor fire pit and propane for the deck fire table. Propane for the gas grill and pellets for the Traeger are provided. All outdoor flames are subject to current fire restrictions and may not be used when local restrictions prohibit them.

There is ample parking for registered guests, including space for a trailer. Trailers may be parked at the property, but guests may not sleep in an RV, trailer, tent or vehicle. All guests must sleep inside the cabin, and maximum occupancy is 10 guests, including children.
