Duck Cove Cottage - Kutschenhaus an der Herrick Bay

Duck Cove Cottage is a charming and immaculate little house perfectly appointed for a relaxing visit to the Brooklin area. Communication with Gary was prompt and friendly. We could not have asked for anything more.

This was our second time at Duck Cove Cottage, and it was even better than we remembered. The property is right on the water and nicely landscaped, and the carriage house is well equipped and spotless. Duck Cove Cottage was the ideal location for us; quiet and away from it all, but also close to Acadia National Park, shopping, and bike trails. The owners, Gary and Debi promptly returned phone calls and emails, and supplied directions and information about the home, property, and the local area. They were a pleasure to talk to and we are so happy they shared their home with us for a week.

Your anticipation builds as you drive down a long twisting lane through the woods and start to wonder what you will find at the end. And then before you is an architecturally sophisticated cottage and main house. A real surprise for Maine.

The best part is still to come. Go up the stairs and before you is a view of the lawn and the waterfront tree line giving just enough of a view of the bay beyond.

The cottage accommodations too are a pleasant surprise. Comfortable, tasteful décor, an excellent working kitchen, and all the entertainment facilities you will need. The wifi system has the fastest internet connection we have experienced.

All in all, a lovely place to stay.

We had a wonderful week at this superb cottage. It is beautifully decorated and both cottage and grounds are very well maintained. This peaceful romantic location has beautiful views and lots of comfortable places to relax.

The kitchen is equipped with every gadget you could possibly imagine. The owners Gary and Debi have a wealth of local information that they are happy to share.

If you feel like exploring the area it is full of little inlets, beaches, harbors and small towns. Our longest trip was to Bar Harbor which took about an hour - well worth the trip and the views from Acadia park were breathtaking.

Gary and Debi have thought of everything to make this an extra special place. We cannot thank them enough for sharing their cottage. If you are lucky enough to spend a week or two here relax and enjoy every minute!

Let us begin with a special thanks to Gary, the owner. He made our reservation very simple and shared a wealth of information that would be helpful for anyone visiting this special retreat home. The property is not only relaxing but beautiful. There are so many sitting areas to enjoy the outdoors and beautiful views. It was very obvious all the special touches such as, the place setting for 2 at the window and the special jar of jam accompanied by a card. Very charming. Maine should be cherished by all! God willing, we would love to visit again. Thanks Gary.& Debi
