About this house rental

Blue Creek Resort is nestled in the heart of Pike County, Illinois - known to many as the Whitetail Deer hunting capital of the world. Whether you choose to drive in or fly in to the local airport, Blue Creek is just minutes away.

Added in 2023 - Pickleball! The tennis and basketball courts now have pickleball for you to enjoy. We have some generic paddles but encourage you to bring your own rackets if you are a seasoned player.

If you enjoy hunting and would like to have an experience in Pike County, please give us a call. Blue Creek's farm can comfortably accommodate up to 4 hunters at one time. We also have guests who hunt other farms in the area, but would like to bring extended family and take advantage of the private time away. Blue Creek Resort is perfect for you!
Whatever the time of year, or your heart's desire, Blue Creek Resort is calling and we would love to host you!

As you enter the resort, you may be greeted by one of the many deer who visit, or a flock of turkeys on their way to somewhere. Kids and adults, alike, enjoy the full basketball court, and regulation tennis court. If sports is not your game, you may want to take a nice stroll through the woods, or travel to Lake Pittsfield a short 2 mile drive where you can fish. This is a beautiful area for you to cast a reel, or simply sit and enjoy the wilderness that surrounds you.

In the summer and warmer months of the year, the 20x56 pool is open for your pleasure. Many guests enjoy sitting under the pavilion watching a baseball game while the kids swim. You may also wish to turn off the TV and turn on the outside stereo system. The lights on the courts will allow you to play games long after darkness has arrived.

There are so many amenities that come with the property, but the best Blue Creek Resort has to offer is the peace and serenity of your own private oasis. While you are a guest at Blue Creek, the entire resort belongs to you.
It is the perfect setting for a small venue wedding, family reunion, or informal business gathering. There is plenty of space surrounding the outdoor recreation area perfect for a small gathering.

This is an expensive property and home, very well maintained, easily able to accommodate a large family group. The large inground pool with slide and a diving platform was fantastic. The young children in our group spent the majority of their time in the pool! The adults enjoyed the pool just as much. Just as great was the tennis court with Pickleball area and basketball court. Our group also made good use of the game room with billiards, ping-pong, foosball. This is a very fine oasis with something for everyone to do!

This property was perfect for our family, The hosts were so prompt to respond back to us if we ever needed anything, and were very helpful in everything. The pool was so warm and the perfect temperature. Everything was so clean and in order, I cannot think of one bad thing to say about this beautiful place!

David met us at the property and he was early. He showed us around and demonstrated how to use pool equipment. He also stopped by mid morning the next day to see if we had any questions. Both hosts communicated quickly when we had questions. This is one of the best properties our family has ever rented. A great place with stuff to do in all kinds of weather and for all ages. The pool and nice kitchen/dining setup were highlights.

This was our second year staying at Blue Creek Resort -- we booked right before COVID happened, and the owners were SO gracious to allow us to keep postponing our stay due to the pandemic (THANK YOU!). I am so happy we were finally able to make the trip, and it was every bit as fun as we remembered it from last time! This is the perfect house for a quiet getaway in the country for a large group of families. We had some teens that got into the corn fields and caused some damage, so we paid a $200 fee taken from the security deposit -- I know that was our fault completely, but just to be extra explicit, perhaps it should be listed in the handbook in bold somewhere that the corn fields are off-limits. There was a little path into the corn, so our kids stumbled upon that and went in. Anyway, the house and stay were great. A few notes for the owners: The downstairs bathroom (the non-pool bathroom) has a tiny drip in the faucet that we couldn't get to turn off... really really slow drip, so not sure if it's even an issue. May want to invest in some smaller bowls in the kitchen, but other than that, there were PLENTY of plates/servingware for us to use! And a note for future guests -- bring your own paper towels, napkins, tissues, trash bags, etc.
