Life at Duck Cove
Coffee by the Water, Cocktails at Sunset
The best days at Duck Cove start with coffee by the water while the lake is still glassy and the ducks are making their morning rounds, and they end with cocktails on the deck as the sun goes down over Cedar Creek Lake.
In between, there is room to spread out. The house sits on a flat double lot made for yard games, so afternoons can be as lazy or as lively as your crew wants, with games on the lawn, kids fishing off the dock and a swim in the protected cove when summer heats up. It is a peaceful place, but it is also a genuinely fun one for families and small groups.
these are the good old days
