PICKLEBALL, Heated Pool, Game Room, Outdoor Oasis, Tennis, Basketball, & woods!

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.

70th Anniversary Celebration

Everything went so smoothly on check-in and the whole week. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, except kitchen scissors. A minor inconvenience. Laundry facilities were provided and worked great! The pool was heated and delightful So much so the baby napped floating in the pool. The young adults enjoyed all the gaming facilities. Played tennis and basketball at night when it was a little cooler. Remarkable memories were made!

Great place. Even more space in bedrooms than expected. Very clean and neat property. Outdoor activities a real plus with plenty of yard space to set up games. In the country away from people and noises. Was a great place for our three generations from 1 to 80. Two large refrigerator/freezers. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of plates, silverware, etc. Loved it there.

We had a wonderful stay at Blue Creek Resort for our family getaway! The hosts are wonderful and very responsive! There is plenty to do - with lots of pool toys, noodles and floaties available. There were basketballs and pickle ball paddles on the property. With the lights over the court, we were able to stay up and play past dark. The outdoor/poolside area was ideal for eating meals, grilling, and watching kids play in the pool.

Awesome Stay at Blue Creek!

We had the best time staying here. My family of 20 stayed for 3 days and this place was perfect for our trip. The house was large enough to accommodate everyone comfortably and we had everything we needed. The pool area is awesome - everyone had an amazing time from the 2 year old to my 70 year old dad. A great place for kids. Communication was great and the owners were friendly and very helpful. Hope to come back again some day!

Private and peaceful

Our family reunion was amazing! Every one really enjoyed the property, seclusion, and the ability to stay up all night, swim, etc. We loved how there was so much space for each family and the kids to enjoy, yet have a a quiet place to rest. The kitchen had a lot of the common stuff we needed. We did have to run out to buy some things like shampoo, toilet paper, etc because it wasn’t provided. On their vrbo listing, it listed a hot tub but there wasn’t any. It didn’t really bother us though because the heated pool was so nice. The loft in the masters was kinda weird and unusable as it was more of a big closet. The basketball court had a tile different flooring so we were unable to play pickleball as the ball didn’t bounce well. Most of all, We appreciated how Becky and David were quick to fix the door knob that kept falling off and they were very responsive to all our texts. Another unknown are the cameras on the property. They were not listed on the vrbo but there are 3 of them, to which Becky responded quickly to explain.

We love Blue Creek for our church annual getaway!

Our church small group has come to Blue Creek for 3 years now for a little weekend getaway. Becky and David have been so accommodating and prompt in responding! We had a wonderful stay, and the house was just as we remembered, with a few upgrades, even! We cook all our meals in the kitchen, and it basically has everything you need! There is plenty of space for everyone to spread out, and lots to do. We enjoyed pickleball, pool, swimming, and playing board games. Thank you for having us again!
