Duck Inn

On the Fraser River Near Vancouver

Two romantic waterfront cottages, perched on pilings on the Fraser River await you at the Duck Inn in the historic fishing village of Ladner half an hour south of Vancouver and 20 minutes from the U.S. border. Both cottages have fireplaces, hot tubs and king featherbeds. Large living rooms have HDTV-DVD-CD, phone and wireless internet connection. Kitchens include gourmet breakfast treats.

The Water Garden, at river level, is a wonderful hideaway for special romantic occasions. It has a large open plan living /dining/kitchen area with the bedroom behind a room divider. It has a large roofed and partially enclosed riverfront veranda with a deep 2 person soaker tub, its own barbecue and a little duck pond ......the perfect spot to greet and feed local swans and ducks and enjoy dinner or a glass of wine.

Willow Cottage, which can be rented as either a one or two bedroom retreat, offers waterfront views with the North Shore Mountains as a backdrop, a sunny balcony and wood-burning fireplace. Willow Cottage guests have their barbecue under the riverside weeping willow, and the hot tub in our floating Florida Room is reserved for them.

Explore the river in our canoes, bike the delta’s country roads, barbecue under our riverside weeping willow, pick flowers from the garden, relax in a hammock, and feed the ducks from a private dock. Nearby, more birds await you at the George Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary, The village of Ladner offers great restaurants, shops, a wonderful summer market and two wineries.
