I had a wonderful time at Tricia's cottage. It was immaculately clean, well-stocked with kitchenware, games, bug spray - anything one could need, Tricia has you covered. It's also just a short drive from the main attractions. And the view is simply spectacular! I would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay on “the quiet side.” The view of the bay was beautiful and I wish our schedule hadn’t been so busy so that we could have it enjoyed it more! The house was very comfortable for my husband and me…,,and our fur baby, “Lou.”

This property was absolutely perfect ! The view over the water and the boat yard was simply calming and relaxing and definitely hard to pull away from to actually go look around. The layout was roomy and comfortable and the parking for our LARGE truck was so welcoming, it’s a challenge to find space to get in and out with ease. I would highly recommend this property for a stay and we are looking at how to come back again for another stay in a different season. Thank you so much for providing exactly what we needed !!!

MDI Vacation

We had a great stay at Duck Cove Cottage. Was a perfect destination for exploring the quiet side of MDI. Very close to Bass Harbor Lighthouse and the Wonderland and Ship Harbor Acadia Trails which were all fantastic.

Great location on Mt Desert

Great location on the quieter side of the island but drivable to more popular areas. Beautiful overlooking the water and nice to have our own private water access. Host was very responsive and gave good suggestions. We felt comfortable and welcomed - our home away from home for the week!

Relaxing and homey

We felt right at home at this house! It was nice to be away from all the hustle and bustle of the village but close enough to all the activities we wanted to participate in. Gorgeous view of the bay and all the amenities we needed! Would definitely return!

Amazing experience at Duck Cove

My family and I stayed at Duck Cove while visiting Mt Desert Island and Acadia national park. The property was even better than what was depicted in the description and photos. It was extremely spacious and quiet. The location was perfect for us as it was somewhat removed from the crowds visiting Acadia. We plan on returning to Acadia in the future and will definitely try to book this property again.
