The Black Duck, a New England Bed and Breakfast Inn, is located in a tranquil, downeast fishing village overlooking islands and open ocean, one of the most picturesque harbors in Maine.

Accommodations include four guest rooms and two waterfront cottages that offer a retreat from the hassles of daily city life. Guest rooms offer twin beds, full-, and queen-size beds; some rooms boast a private bath while others have a semi-private bath. The waterfront cottages can be rented by the week and have full kitchens with utensils and linens provided.

The Black Duck has 12 acres to explore with wonderful rock outcrops offering places to sit and read, paint or just search the skies for a glimpse of a soaring eagle while watching the harbor or the sea beyond. You can pick wild blueberries and cranberries too, if you're here when they're ripe. When hiking, you might come upon a hidden tidal bay and salt marshes which are terrific spots to bird watch.

There are sand beaches within an easy walk from the house, and a fresh water pond, if you prefer your swimming water a little warmer, within a short drive.

The Black Duck is well located to serve as a central point for a variety of day trips, including Bar Harbor and its hustle and bustle, the art galleries and crafts of Blue Hill, or the history and grandeur of FDR's home in Campobello, as well as the seaport towns of Eastport and Lubec.

This is a wonderful part of the world to relax in read, paint, photograph, hike, bike, and explore. Whether you are searching for bed and breakfast or vacation rental lodging, your hosts know that you'll enjoy your stay at The Black Duck Inn.
