A nectar wood-burning fireplace adds coziness, complemented by a split-system for year-round comfort.

Two handcrafted barn doors reveal a curated queen bedroom and a stylish bathroom with a luxurious king-size shower.

The fully fenced yard and doggie door make The Duckling proudly pet-friendly, giving your furry friend the freedom to explore safely. Step outside and settle in beneath the string lights as The Duckling truly comes to life after dark.
