Anderson's Waterfront Cottage on Duck Lake

The entire cottage is gorgeous cedar, inside and out with a new, fresh look, settled upon a nice level lot along the waters edge. This quiet lake offers a relaxing haven beckoning for fun all summer long. The waters are clean to swim, canoe or row an aluminum boat which are included for your use. There is fishing for bass, pickerel, and white perch on Duck Lake, part of the headwaters of a 30 mile long West Branch of the St. Croix River shed that includes landlocked salmon in adjoining Junior Lake. Enjoy picturesque views of Almanac, Getchell, and Bowers mountain ranges at the dock. Loons, waterfowl and wildlife abound, and at night there is the hoot of an owl and crisp, glistening skies along the campfire. Out front there is a wildflower field of butterflies, hummingbirds and flying acrobats. Should the nights get cold there is a large wood burning stove with plenty of wood on site. Leave the rat race behind, and let the healing begin! There is a deep well and pristine drinking water. Now featuring leaf peeper and hunter rates starting late September through Late October until the snow flies, the pipes freeze, and the tears turn to icicles! Phone reception iffy. and if you're looking to film moose or eagles on social media through the internet wifi fi, stick to the big apple. This special place is serene and void of modernization for a reason.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a coffee maker. Limited housekeeping is available.

Drinking Water Problems

I found the property to be accurately depicted as listed in VRBO. However, VRBO did state that the water was from a well and was drinkable. I did not find that to be the case as the running water has a very strong Sulphur odor and taste to it. We needed to go out and purchase bottled water for drinking.

Beautiful lot, but more info would've helped

The directions provided by the owner were very accurate and helpful. The lot was beautiful with a firepit and a very short walk to the dock, where clear water awaited. I did have some issues, though, which would've been mitigated with some additional information. There is running water but the smell of sulfur was overwhelming. It was not drinkable..bring lots of water. Showers are not really able to be taken as the smell makes your eyes water. Mice were an issue, BUT, it is a wood cabin. Keep all food secured and wash and store your dishes, as I was woken the first night by the ting ting of the mouse eating chicken alfredo from a rattling fork (while standing 2 inches from the "rodent control sound device"). That being said I moved a pillow in the couch and there was a large amount of mouse poop under there...indicating it wasnt cleaned or vacuumed. The code for the lock worked, but I the keys or the mechanism wouldnt allow the lock device to open to give me the keys. Luckily there was someone with tools down the road to assist. The lockbox for the keys wouldnt lock when I left. The canoe was unable to be used due to holes and the rowboat is too unwieldy and heavy for one person to get that out into the water, so one of the major reasons I booked the area, to fish using a canoe/boat, was unable to be realized. Overall, the place would've been better had the listing been a bit more forthcoming with the information presented BUT was a beatiful place.

Beautiful setting

The directions to the cabin from property manager were wonderful. The property is in need of some landscaping and major cleaning. It doesnt look like it is used very often, it was dirty, cobwebs everywhere and there is a mouse problem. The canoe has a hole in it as it was taking on water, the flat bottom boat didnt have a plug for us to be able to use it. I feel with a few upgrades with the yard work and a little better dock it would be great. Definitely no cell service which was fine as we knew that going into it, different furniture inside would be a plus also. Overall we enjoyed the few days there as we were visiting family so we weren't in the cabin all the time, but would definitely do some upgrades. Someone should really go up at least once a week an cut grass, open windows due to the very old musty smell and take pride in the diamond in the rough.

Nice camp in a very private setting. Lake was quiet & beautiful. We did not spend a lot of time there since we were having a 3 day family reunion in a neighboring town but did some kayaking & enjoyed morning coffee on the front deck each day. Camp was very musty but aired after a day.

Great get-away to complete relax and disconnect

Fairley modern Maine cabin situated on the lake front that was quiet and peaceful. Plenty of space for (2) adults...and accommodations for at least (5) more people. Cabin was clean with modern amenities in the kitchen and bathroom. Not too far from the center of Lincoln in case you forget anything, including groceries. No cell or WiFi connectivity, so prepare yourself to truly be disconnected! And the wood stove, although it was summer, was fantastic to take the slight chill and dampness out of the air during a 2-day storm that passed through (which made for a fun indoor cabin experience!). Cabin and the grounds were very clean, and we left it way on our departure. The box of (30) or so DVDs came in very handy, and the available row boat and canoe were a great bonus. The purpose of our trip was ATV'ing, and the trail riding is fantastic in that area, as the cabin is nearly on the approved and marked trail system. One last thing, make sure you FOLLOW THE OWNERS DRIVING DIRECTIONS and do not follow Google or iOs maps...unless you're truly looking for an off road adaventure ;)

Nice, remote camp in the woods

The camp had nice amenities (washer and dryer, dish washer, air conditioner!!). The bed was very comfortable. It was a little too remote for me, and perfect for my husband. Overall - nice stay. If you really want to disconnect from internet and devices - this is a good spot to do that. We really loved sitting on the porch and listening for loons and watching the lightening bugs.

Peaceful and Quiet

We were looking to get away and go as 'off grid' as possible. This place was just the ticket. No cell, no wifi just peace and quiet and nature's beauty. Still within driving distance to a couple of small stores though. We saw several types of ducks on the lake and we also saw eagles which was wonderful. The place was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were very responsive when contacted. We are hoping to be able to get away and stay here again. Highly recommend.

Fall Retreat

My husband and I rented the Anderson cottage for a bird hunting excursion and Fall getaway to Eastern Maine. It was just as advertised and was outfitted with most of what we needed. The washer/dryer were a pleasant surprise. The wood heat was plenty and the view of the lake was serene. Make sure to bring your kayaks. The location felt remote and very quiet this time of year yet it ‘s only ten miles from the main road. There were many assessable hunting areas nearby in the MPRL and North of Rt 6. Overall it met all of our expectations.

Quiet and remote

My sister and I enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It took a day or so to acclimate to the remoteness of the cabin, and the absence of wifi, cell service, etc. Please note that the owner is very clear that this is the case. It wasn't a surprise, but it still was an adjustment. To be honest, by day 2, we really appreciated not having the outside world intrude on the quiet of our holiday. We weren't lucky enough to see lots of wildlife, but we did see a gorgeous little fox a couple of times! All in all, a lovely getaway!

Paradise...

The 9 and 12 y.o. got comfortable with the great lakefront very quickly! ( once they got past the electronics withdrawals..) The welcoming hummingbird, Eagle pair, three calling Loons and multitude of Peace, made for a great week! Coffee on the deck each morning- watching the mist rising ... meandering downstream to Junior lake... ahhhh... The cabin was excellent accommodation.. only missing fans, as our week was hot and humid.. Amazing corn and potatoes from Ireland Farm, on Route 2 North, out of Lincoln... Delicious breakfast at Raymond's in Lee... Watch for wildlife sharing the road- no moose, but VERY few mosquitoes! Thanks for sharing your corner of Paradise ..

Maine lakes!

We had an awesome time exploring the lakes here. You can take a canoe from Duck Lake, which this cottage is on, directly into Junior Lake, to the south. Keg Lake is a short drive away and is almost completely untouched by humans. The cedar cottage is roomy (two bedrooms and a loft). We enjoyed our time here.

Great cabin, not great landscaping

The cabin was great however my family and I got there at 1:50pm. My email from the owner said check in at 2 so we thought we made good time getting there. The cleaning lady was still there so I went in to introduce myself and immediately got a whole lot of attitude. She asked me what i was doing there and snapped when I told her that we had rented the property, she then huffed that check in was 5pm and how could she clean 'this friggin place' now. I stated that my email said 2 and my family was ready to be out of the vehicle. I told her we would stay outside to stretch and look at the water. She stated that the owner was a 'Masshole (im not sure where he's from)and didn't know anything,' she said some not so nice stuff about him and what he did for a living and not to use the wood because it was an extra charge ( it actually is!!) And to 'get the kids to get surrounding wood around the cabin to clean things up outside. My husband came in and her attitude changed. She said she would leave and did with the statement "I won't tell if you don't". We spent the first few hours cleaning and came to the conclusion that she might actually live there on down times(wash the bedding as ours smelled like oily head).. I hate giving this a bad review because the place was great the lake is clear and we enjoyed kayaking. Side note: you get reception In the middle of the lake! ....the lawn and landscape definitely needs some love, I just think the owner has bigger fish to fry with his employee.
