Hi! We are Jeff and Audrey. We live in this home throughout the winter with our daughter and boxer. We love this property, the peacefulness of it and the gorgeous views. We have been renovating it and absolutely love the ambiance we have created. We hope that you will also enjoy this perfect little slice of heaven. We welcome you to our home!

Why they chose this property

Duck Inn is just such a perfect spot. Even before we did the upgrades, we loved the tranquility, the way the light moves through the house and property. It is quiet and private and yet pretty close to just about anything we need. We commute to be here and think it is worth it!

What makes this property unique

Duck Inn is one of the homes managed by Cottage Connection, Jeff and Audrey's business.

Vacation Rentals. Privately Owned. Professionally Managed. Trusted since 1993.

Cottage Connection was one of the first vacation rental companies in the Mid-coast region of Maine. Jeff and Audrey Miller, who own two other vacation rental homes themselves had an aha moment when they realized they could not find anyone who ‘got it’ to manage their rentals for them. Since 1993 they have been trusted by homeowners and vacationers to “connect” each family with the perfect cottage for their vacation. As Audrey puts it; “The home they stay in becomes a personality, a part of their lore when a family connects with the right cottage. Whether they want a rustic cabin in the woods or a high-end ocean bungalow, the right setting sets the tone for the entire vacation.” Learn more about how Cottage Connection can help make you vacation perfect!

In renting Duck Inn you will be staying in the home of Jeff and Aubrey that is managed by their professional team. A win-win for you! We know you will love this sweet lake house and are looking forward to welcoming you home!
