Set off the coast of Maine, Duck Ledges Island can only be accessed by boat, offering a truly off-grid experience.

The wood-clad walls and timber-framed windows enhance the interior’s warm and rustic aesthetic, while the pitched roof elevates the overall sense of space. A wooden ladder provides access to two twin beds on the cabin’s upper level.
