Abandoned
Owner was having a baby so lobby and restaurant were closed. Check in info was in an envelope by the door. After a 10 hour drive and no nearby restaurants thank God I had a couple cans of soup to heat up in the microwave. Our room was called the "Ice Cave" fitting since it was so cold! Room was so small it was claustrophobic. Congrats on the baby, but have back up to run the hotel please.

Nice place in a cute village. We had problems with our door code at check in but the owners responded quickly and it was fixed. We didn't have time to explore the facilities, but the property was cute. The only improvement would be the bed. We liked the mattress itself, but it was sloped down at the head. We would stay here again.

We had a fun time. If you like rustic, this resort is for you. The pool was well maintained. They have a game room. Equipment is dared, but the kids still had fun. We also played basketball. Separate bathroom/shower facilities are state of the art.

Duck Creek is best described as primitive. We didn’t have much in the way of service - except a delivery of bedding for the cot when we called the listed phone number. The room was fine.

We arrived and no one was in office, had to call their number, no one answered. They did call back, were instructed to grab envelope at office in a box outside with instructions how to find and access our room. The parking lot was a muddy mess, no decent parking. We cut our losses and moved on. There was no place open to eat at 5 pm. Drove 40 minutes to find something to eat.

Hi Michael, we do apologize you weren't happy with our mountain mud. April and May are Duck Creeks muddiest months of the year due to the beautiful snow melt. We do our best to keep our parking lots accessible for our lovely guests. Our Grille is open Thurs-Sun 5pm-8pm, we do apologize you caught us on our day off from the Grille.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! We arrived during operating hours and it was closed! Front desk office was closed and my family could not gain access to our room. We could not reach anyone by phone as no one picked up our calls. We contacted hotels.com and waited in our car while they also tried to contact the property. They were disconnected multiple times as well. Someone finally got back in touch with us and said our reservation was missed or overlooked, but that if we could wait, someone would come back out to get us to our room. On top of this, the roads to get into the property were packed with snow and our car was slipping and got stuck on the thick layer of snow and ice. Again, no one was there to assist and there should have been a warning about booking at any time there's a possibility of snow. You WILL get stuck if you're not driving 4WD. The person we spoke with from the property agreed to refund us because at this point it was getting dark and we were scared we'd be stuck in our car in the snow. It has been over a week and we still haven't received the refund. I cannot emphasize enough what a horrible and nerve-wracking experience this was, being up in the mountains as it got darker and darker, having no one answer our calls, and our wheels spinning in at least 4 inches of packed snow with our young children in the car.

Absolutely wonderful!
When I booked the trip, the intention was to show the kids snow. Not only did the weather not disappoint, but the Pinewoods was the BEST choice we made. The owner, Lee was beyond wonderful. The food and service in the restaurant were 5 🌟 s. If you are looking for a place to stay in Duck Creek look no further than the Pinewoods.

It sure what to think
We didn’t really know what to expect and we left with the same impression. The area was beautiful, but unfortunately they were completely reconstructing the roadway into the resort. We arrived at 8pm to check in and found that we must have been “after hours”. We did get a check in instruction sheet that was left for us in the lobby and accessing the room was easy. We thought the office was open until 10. The room was comfortable…somewhat dated, but comfortable. The WI-FI was terrible, even with multiple access points. We were rained in so we tried the Direct TV - almost none of the channels were available to watch. We were excited that the game room had air hockey, ping pong and foosball, but they were no ping pong balls or foosballs and the air hockey table didn’t work well at all. We were able to enjoy the pool and hot tub the first night and it was great. Overall, we didn’t pay much for the room so this is a “you get what you pay for” scenario. We completely understand that we hit the renovation/off-season, but the combination of construction, no Wi-Fi, no TV and the lack of people at the front desk made this a very strange experience.

Peaceful, comfortable room. My only problem was cooling the room down after a hot day. The fan they provided helped. Ideally I might have opened the windows for cross ventilation, but I couldn’t pull/push hard enough.

It was disappointing due to the lack of parking. I had to park on the main road because everyone had too many cars there. Also my truck got hit and they have no cameras around the building so nothing could be done/ identified. Overall the room was great until i got locked out because they said their computer malfunctioned. Luckily it was during the day and not at night when the office closes.

Seven of us (4 adults and 3 teenage children) spent 5 nights at Pinewoods Resort in mid-April 2022, in one of the Zion Lodge cabins. The location was ideal for us as it is situated about half-way between Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks (takes just over an hour to get to either). Although the decor was older, the cabin was spotlessly clean with plenty of space for us all, and very easy to keep warm (even though there were piles of snow on the ground outside for our whole visit). Good kitchen and fridge with freezer. There aren't too many restaurants or supermarkets nearby, but Aunt Sue's Chalet was very good for an early dinner (it closes quite early) and the Country Store in Duck Creek Village has groceries. Larger supermarkets can be visited on the way back from Bryce/Zion if necessary. Very close to our cabin on the resort was a laundry (actually on the ground floor of our building), and an indoor heated swimming pool and hot tub which we used 4/5 evenings. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

The check in was a bit confusing and none of the buildings were marked. But, they were quick to help. Room was as described. Clean, a few blinds were broke, so had to cover them up. There was only 1 blanket in room, on the bed. The pullout had none and was the most uncomfortable bed we’ve ever slept in. It got pretty cold and the heater wasn’t warming. Woke very early to build a fire due to being cold. Loved the area, staff friendly and will come back, but will definitely get 2 beds instead of the pullout couch.

My deepest apologies for the discomfort. We are under new ownership and are going through each unit to ensure that the heaters are working properly. We are also freshening up each unit, or giving it a complete remodel. We hope you will give us another chance to experience the newly refreshed Pinewoods Resort. :)
