We loved the house. The wildlife was spectacular. We liked the isolation in the beautiful valley. We had 3 birds fly into the east facing window. 2 died. Can you put something on the glass to help the birds see the glass

Isolated GemThis alpine/ranch house is more than a pleasant weekend stay location. We had a very enjoyable extended stay at the Duck Creek lodge. The house is as lovely as the pictures spread out over 4 levels with multiple decks generating a 360 degree view. The house is large enough that our three generation family had plenty of room to escape or be all together. The combination of in-house activities and views are so enticing that at first we did not want to leave the property. The house is located in the Duck Creek valley at 6700 ft. surrounded by mountains that peak at 11,800 feet. Although the valley has several ranches none of the houses/buildings are visible. Good hiking is a short drive up the valley. The Ely area offers good hiking, rock climbing, golf and historical and nature touring. Nearby McGill offers an excellent fresh water public swimming hole and a small grocery store. The internet and WIFI allowed remote work all over the house and decks even with multiple video calls going at the same time. Amazon deliveries were made to the McGill post office. Ely has a good full service grocery store.The hosts were very responsive to our needs even building a custom child gate at the stairs. They also gave useful recommendations to source local baked goods, steaks and activities. Particularly noteworthy were the large and very fully equipped kitchen and the exceptional media room. A drawback of the location is that it is a 30 minute drive to Ely.

Great Basin Getaway
This property is even more beautiful than it appears in photos. The kitchen is incredibly well supplied for preparing meals. The cleanliness and condition of the property was flawless which is no small feat considering the size and amenities. The contact person was very helpful and available for a minor maintenance issue. The remoteness of the property added to its charm. No hesitation recommending this for large groups, we only had four of us but this could accommodate many more.

Great Property and Location
We spent three nights at the property and very much enjoyed our time there. It is a beautiful home located in a beautiful area. If you are interested in outdoor activities it is an ideal place as it offers easy and quick access to the mountains with almost endless roads for off-roading, hiking, or cycling. We highly recommend it.

Amazing Christmas Stay at Duck Creek Lodge!!!
We could not have been happier with our stay! Our hosts, Anne and Matt, went above and beyond decorating the lodge for our arrival, complete with a beautiful Christmas tree and homemade cookies to greet us. We made several gourmet meals in the gorgeous kitchen and had everything that we needed (and more). The appliances and cookware were all top of the line. I even made it a game to try to find something in the kitchen that they had not thought of, and I could not. When my husband cut his hand, I wasn’t the least bit surprised to find a full first aid kit. The lodge was incredibly spacious and expertly designed. Bedding and linens were plentiful and top of the line. The views were absolutely breathtaking, creating the perfect backdrop for our holiday celebrations. Snow falling on Christmas Eve added a magical touch. Given how much work Anne and Matt put into this place, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had arranged the snow just for us!There was a small glitch with one of the appliances during our stay, but the owners were exceptionally responsive and went above and beyond to ensure the issue was resolved quickly and completely. Their attentiveness and care only added to our positive experience. Anne also graciously fielded all of my questions before we arrived.Overall, we could not have been happier with our stay. This lodge provided the ideal setting for a joyful and unforgettable Christmas. We highly recommend the Duck Creek Lodge and can't wait to come back!

Beautiful Lodge and Location
Great location and an absolutely.beautiful lodge. The lodge decor has many animal head mounts from family hunts over the years. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped and the appliances are top of the line. It was easy to communicate with the host and she prompt with responses.

Great Family Vacation
The house was large and had all amenities we needed (the Keurig was a morning hit). Large kitchen for our family to cook and eat together. Plus the firepit for S'mores and games of Ghost in the Darkness were fabulous. Movie nights in the theater room and pool games in the rec room. Plenty of room for everyone!

A beautiful property in eastern Nevada
This particular trip was not exactly a vacation. Members of my family gathered to fulfill my father’s wish to have his ashes spread near his birthplace of Baker, NV. I wanted to find someplace that would allow the entire family to gather and spend quality time together, rather than being partitioned off in hotel rooms, and this wonderful home fit the bill beautifully.
The property is spacious, beautifully decorated, and has more than enough space for everyone to spread out and relax. The large kitchen allowed multiple generations to gather and prepare dinner together, which was much better than dining in a local restaurant. There are ample plates, dishes, and cooking tools.
Local wildlife is plentiful, and using the spotting scope (a well thought out amenity) we were able to see deer and elk grazing nearby. We did find a small rattlesnake in the back yard, which was safely relocated over the back fence.
Beds were comfortable, and everyone reported that they slept well.
The basement game room wasn’t heavily utilized, but is a great space to relax. The arcade machine is loaded with hundreds of classic retro arcade games, and the theater has a sound system that will rock your socks off!
All in all, while our visit wasn’t for the happiest of reasons, we could not have asked for a better place to stay. We are already working on planning another, longer visit to spend some more quality time in this beautiful part of Nevada.

Great place in a nice peaceful valley not to far from the main road
Great property to stay and I bet it’s even more beautiful in the summer with the tree blooming. Nice kitchen for cooking and hang out time. It was a big of a drive to ice fishing but we got all 12 guys in a really nice place so it was worth it.

Everything we could want.
The property was everything we could ask for. Quite and away from the noise and distractions of life. Beautiful from the landscape to the design of the cabin, and provided everything we would seek in a rental. We took a group of 4 adults and 13 teenagers and it was more then enough. Highly recommend,
