About this cottage rental
Duck Cove Cottage - If relaxation, peace and quiet are part of the agenda, Duck Cove Cottage may help achieve that goal. This waterfront, 1 bedroom carriage house can be ideal for the couple that wants a base to explore Down East, tour Acadia(1 hour away), attend the Wooden Boat School(5-7 min), or just sit in the chairs by tranquil, tidal Herrick Bay for your time here. The bird life on the bay, an occasional eagle soaring by or the red squirrels dashing through the trees are your closest neighbors. Besides a spacious living area it has a fully equipped kitchen, king bed in the bedroom, sleeper sofa in the living area, walk in closet, 1 bath, 2 dressing areas, and washer- dryer utility area in the 850 sq feet. The deck overlooks the bay and offers a very tranquil atmosphere situated on 4 peaceful acres. Our residence is adjacent to the cottage but is not connected to the carriage house. The house is not on the rental market, and if occupied, we would be there.
Charcoal grill and lobster cooking pots are in the garage on the ground level. We anticipate your slogan will be like ours after your vacation here-- 'Time spent in Maine is not wasted'.

We spent two wonderful weeks at Duck Cove Cottage. The property and the cottage are immaculate, nicely decorated and there is everything you may want and/or need. Gary & Debi are amazing hosts and are readily available to answer any questions and point you in the right direction on places to eat and sightsee. It was so peaceful sitting on the deck or down by the water listening to the birds,watching the turkeys,reading a book and just relaxing.This was a perfect getaway! We hope to return for another stay.If you are planning to stay in Brooklin, this is the place to stay.

We had a great week at Duck Cove. The location is amazing, close to terrific day trips, and neat little spots to explore. It's an hour away from Bar Harbor, so the busy-ness and tourist-laden exploration is an easy drive, and the town of Brooklin is cute and spoiled with great food, cute shops and some neat local history. We really enjoyed staying in a spot that felt pretty quiet and unspoiled. The cottage itself has anything you could possibly need, and a nice deck for sitting outside to read and look out at the water. And the owners are next door, ready with lots of advice and recommendations. Definitely recommend and looking forward to staying again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Duck Cove Cottage. The apartment and grounds are well maintained in a beautiful setting on a quiet cove. Pretty much what most people from away would imagine a Maine coastal cottage to be. We hated to leave everyday to go on our planned trips to the Schoodic and Mt. Desert Island areas. Nearby Brooklin is a perfect little small town and we felt welcomed by the locals when we stopped in at the Brooklin General Store. Blue Hill is about 12 miles away and the best place to buy groceries, beer, wine etc. If you are planning on attending or visiting the Wooden Boat School, its just a couple of miles down the road. The cottage has a very functional and well equipped kitchen. The owners have left a lot of maps and local information which was very helpful in planning our days away from the property. The porch facing the waterfront is a delightful place to sit and read or enjoy an evening glass of wine. We highly recommend this property if you want small town charm and to get away from the crowds and noise. Well be back next year!
