About this property

Duck Cove Cottage - Carriage House on Herrick Bay

Duck Cove Cottage - If relaxation, peace and quiet are part of the agenda, Duck Cove Cottage may help achieve that goal. This 19 year old, 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'.

Peaceful, gorgeous view on Herrick Bay

This gorgeous wood planked cottage held all the amenities of home with the most accommodating hostess and host. The area is loaded with local bay hiking trails, out-the-cardoor views of local lobster boats, many small shops and dining choices and beautiful views of the bay and wooded acreage. Keep the phone/camera close in hand for unique scenery, wildlife and New England style photo ops. We loved this vacation and will travel from Indiana to do it again.

Amazing Maine shore cabin

What an amazing place to call home for a week or two! Gorgeous view, beautiful cabin, and the most wonderful hosts ever! This "cabin" is newer construction and is gorgeous inside and out. All the amenities you would ever want, including a kitchen with all sorts of utensils, small appliances, and good coffee pots - both the Keurig style and the drip type. Our hosts, Gary and Debi shared some of their favorite local places with us, including a gift shop that also sold lobstas for the best price, anywhere. Gary showed us how to setup and use the powerful propane powered lobsta pot, and with his instructions, we cooked several batches of perfectly steamed lobstas. If you go to Deck Cove Cabin, be warned - you will NOT want to leave.

Beautiful hideout with great hosts!

We had a lovely time staying at the Duck Cove Cottage for two weeks. The hosts were very kind, delivered us newspapers, and were readily available for recommendations and assistance if needed. The cottage is located above the primary home's garage but we never noticed cars coming & going. The view from the deck was beautiful. There were two chairs out by the waterfront for lounging. It was foggy the whole time we were there but the gas fireplace was a cozy way to enjoy the gray days. Would recommend!
