About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Becky or David
In 2004 we lived in Pittsfield and had an opportunity to purchase this farm about 6 miles outside of town. We decided to buy it and build our dream home on it. After 13 years, many projects, two dogs, a gerbil, 4 children, and a career change, we decided that it was time to let others experience the beauty and serenity that is Blue Creek.
Why they chose this property
Several years ago we had someone offer to purchase our home - and they had never even been in it. They had flown over it for nearly a year and told us "you have the nicest property in Pike County and I want it." Well, at the time we weren't interested in selling it. His interest was primarily due to our unbeatable location. ( He somehow missed that gargantuan pool in the backyard and the regulation basketball and tennis courts!) While the home is only 1.3 miles from the interestate and less than 2 miles from the airport, it is also nearly 1/2 mile off the road - which means privacy AND convenience for you.
It is our deepest desire that you have a relaxing and connecting experience at BCR. Which is why we will greet you and take care of you during your stay. We live about 30 miles away and have management within minutes to handle any needs you may have. If we can make your stay better, we will.

What makes this property unique
There is not another property in Pike County which has all of the amenities we offer. You can take walks on the trails in the woods, fish in nearby Lake Pittsfield, swim from April to October, play basketball or tennis, lounge under the pavilion in the backyard while simultaneously cooking in the outdoor kitchen area, or simply read a book. This property truly has everything you need to "get away" . We invite you to come and relax, renew, and reconnect with what your heart needs.
