Duck Cove Cottage - Carriage House on Herrick Bay

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.

Great place

The cottage is very comfortable and the hosts are super responsive. It is a beautiful setting, in the woods and on the water, and we enjoyed our autumn stay.

We had a one week stay. It was so comfortable and well equipped that a longer stay would have been just fine. Gary was a lovely host and always available. Scenic, quiet and private. Highly recommended!

This is a very comfortable, thoughtfully furnished and magnificently situated cottage. There is a lovely view of the bay with its changing tides framed by pine trees. The owner was extremely helpful and showed a genuine interest in making our stay a most positive experience.

Duck Cove cottage was a terrific place to stay. The upstairs apartment is very comfortable, excellently furnished and decorated, with a great view from the outdoor deck. Gary and Debi couldn't have been nicer and we really enjoyed talking with them and getting to know them a little bit.

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.

A perfect place! We loved our week in Maine while staying in this well-appointed, welcoming cottage. Our hosts were phenomenal and we could not have asked for more. If you are looking for a beautiful place to call home for a week, stay at Duck Cove Cottage. You will not be disappointed!

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.
