4BR Lodge for 14 | Arcades + Pool Table + Fire Pit + Near Zion/Bryce

Tucked into an aspen grove at 8,500 feet, The Bear Tracks Lodge offers cool mountain air and around 2,500 square feet of room to spread out — four bedrooms, seven beds, and three and a half baths. There are two covered decks, a basement game room with a pool table and over 9,000 retro games, and three different places to gather around a fire Zion and Bryce are both about an hour`s drive — two national parks from a single basecamp..

Main Floor

The heart of the home is an open kitchen, dining, and living room with vaulted pine ceilings, a stone gas fireplace, and big windows that look straight into the aspens. The kitchen has stainless appliances and a center island with bar stool seating. The dining table seats six, with the island stools adding extra room when the whole group`s eating. A stacked washer and dryer sits just off the kitchen.

The main-floor master suite has a queen bed and opens directly onto the back covered deck, which has a fire pit table for slow morning coffee or quiet evenings in the aspens. The en-suite bath includes a soaking tub, double vanity, and walk-in shower. The room also has a window AC unit — the only air conditioning in the cabin.

Upstairs

The second master is its own suite, with two queen-over-queen bunk beds and a private en-suite bath that includes a jetted soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower. There`s also a quiet loft workspace with a sit-stand desk and an ergonomic chair, in case someone in the group needs to sneak in a few hours of work. Wi-Fi is fast (140 Mbps).

Basement / Game Room ️

This is the whole reason guests rebook. There`s a pool table, plus two stand-up arcade cabinets (Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat) and a custom arcade loaded with over 9,000 games. You`ll find every console from Super Nintendo on up and hundreds of classic arcade titles — enough variety to keep everyone busy and enough space to run an actual tournament. Two more bedrooms with full beds share a full bath on this level.

Outside ️

The cabin backs up to Dixie National Forest with no neighbors to the north. Both covered decks have a fire pit table, and the four-burner Char-Broil commercial-grade gas grill (with a side burner) is on the deck right off the kitchen and dining room (through the French doors) — we keep the propane stocked for the grill. Out in the aspens, a wood-burning fire pit with log bench seating waits for s`mores-and-stories nights. Two picnic tables under the trees handle daytime meals and evening card games.

Where you`ll be

Duck Creek Village is a small, quaint mountain town with quick access to Southern Utah`s best national parks. The cabin sits just up the road from The Village — close enough to see from here — where the gas station, hardware store, and restaurants are a short drive or a nice walk. Homes around here sit on roughly half- to one-acre lots, so you`ve got space and trees — it`s a quiet mountain neighborhood, not a remote, off-grid spot.

Through the year

At 8,500 feet, the seasons actually mean something here. Summers run on ATV trails, fishing, and cool mountain nights — close enough to day-trip Zion and Bryce, high enough to escape the heat baking the desert below. Come fall, the hiking peaks: cooler canyon trails and the aspens turning gold. Winters turn to snowmobiles, with skiing close by and long fireplace nights.

4WD is REQUIRED from October through April. No exceptions. The road can be clear at check-in and snowed-in by morning. We`re at 8,500 feet and weather rolls in fast — please come prepared.

Roads and driveways are plowed after 8 inches of snow accumulation or after a major storm.

Ample parking on-site, including a spot for trailers. No sleeping in trailers, RVs, or tents — overnight stays are in the cabin.

A few practical notes

4WD is REQUIRED October through April — no exceptions. We`re at 8,500 feet and weather rolls in fast.

The lower level has its own ground-level entrance — walk straight in without stairs (handy for unloading gear, or for anyone who`d rather skip the steps). Two bedrooms, a full bath, and the game room are all on that level.

️ AC: a window AC unit cools the main-floor master bedroom only — the only AC in the cabin. The rest of the cabin isn`t air conditioned. Summer nights cool off nicely at 8,500 feet.

Stock up on groceries before driving up. Options on the mountain are limited — the hardware store and gas station both carry a small grocery selection for forgotten odds and ends, but plan ahead. Restaurant hours in The Village vary by season.

Propane for the grill is stocked. For the wood-burning fire pit, bring your own firewood; for the deck fire tables, bring a propane bottle if you`d like to use them.

Well-behaved house-trained dogs are welcome (75 lb total weight limit; dogs only — sorry, no cats, fish, lizards, snakes, mini horses, or pigs).

Maximum 14 guests, no exceptions.

Self check-in is by smart lock. Arrival instructions sent the afternoon of check-in.

Wi-Fi is fast (140 Mbps) — work-from-cabin ready, video calls and all.
