RELAX ON THE RIVER AT THE DUCK INN
A romantic waterfront hideaway featured in
"Best Places Vancouver"
"Best Places to Kiss in the Northwest"
"Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Vancouver"
"Greenwood Guides Canada- Hand Picked Accommodation"
Two romantic private waterfront cottages await you at The
Duck Inn. The Water Garden is
a river level hideaway for two, and Willow
Cottage can be rented as a one bedroom
retreat for two or a two bedroom home away from home for a family. Both
cottages perch on pilings at the edge of the Fraser River in Ladner, a
historic fishing village just half an hour south of Vancouver and twenty
minutes from the U.S. border.
As you climb the ivy covered stairs to Willow
Cottage, the river begins to work its magic, offering a wonderful
waterfront view with the North Shore Mountains as a misty backdrop. Step
out onto the Water Garden verandah, and local
ducks and swans will come by to greet you. Feed them while you sip a cool
drink on your private dock. Watch eagles and herons circle and dive over
the water.
Lounge in a hammock or barbecue under the riverside weeping willow. Dine
by candlelight on your deck, and sailors will wave to you as they return
to port. Curl up in front of your fireplace, put on a relaxing CD, and
a trio of swans may drift past the French doors. Water
Garden couples will enjoy a soothing soak in the deep two person
verandah tub, Willow Cottage guests can relax
in a hot tub reserved for them in the floating Florida Room. No matter
which Cottage you choose, snuggle under the eiderdown in your king size
featherbed, and the river will lull you to sleep.
In the morning, let the birds awaken you and start your day with Allen’s delicious smoked salmon and other breakfast treats awaiting you in your well stocked kitchen. Free range eggs from a local farm, bagels, baguettes, jams, cereals, pancake mixes, fruit, coffee, tea. milk (in glass bottles from the Avalon Dairy), juice etc.....are yours to prepare as you like. Servings are generous, and refills are always available.
Spend the day exploring the waterways of the delta
in the canoe or bike along the dikes and country roads. Whether you come
to the Duck Inn for a romantic escape, or make it your home while exploring
Vancouver, the river will enchant you.
