Beautiful property with everything you need. Incredible view of Bass Harbor, water access, and very comfortable beds and bedrooms. Susan and her husband are very responsive and kind. You cannot go wrong staying in this lovely home.

Susan and her husband were so welcoming to their lovely house in Bernard. They provided tips and were always available to answer questions. The house is roomy and comfortable and has a lovely view of the water.

We have rented several properties on MDI, and this is in the top 3. It is even better than the pictures. Right on the water and close to the village of Bernard. Plenty of space for us and our college-age children (which worked well since the weather wasn’t great). Comfortable, clean, well-supplied and tastefully decorated. Wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you, Susan!

Loved the location and view! Homeowners were responsive to any issues that arrived. We had many meals at the different restaurants in the different towns which were all great! -especially Thurston's down the road! We decided to cook a few dinners at the cottage which was fine for simple meals. We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience!!

The cottage was just as described and had all the amenities we could need! The beds were very comfortable too. We especially enjoyed the large deck that overlooked the lake. If you're looking for a dock to fish or launch a boat, there was none though the scenery was stunning. The location was somewhat remote however only a 30-minute drive to downtown Bar Harbour. We found our stay incredibly relaxing and our hosts accommodating.

Nous étions 2 couples d’amis et avons trouvé la maison exceptionnelle. La vue sur l’eau est super et change selon les marées. La maison est très bien équipée, rien ne manque pour passer une semaine sans souci et tout fonctionne très bien. Susan propose même un distributeur d’eau si on n’aime pas le goût de l’eau du robinet. Belle attention. La literie est de très bonne qualité. Même si c’était le mois d’août, nous avons dû allumer deux fois le chauffage en soirée : il fonctionnait rapidement et efficacement et nous avons pu l’arrêter après juste quelques heures. La décoration de la maison est vraiment faite avec beaucoup de goût, les peintures s’inspirent des environs, des détails rappellent la mer et la pêche aux homards. Nous nous sommes sentis chez nous et avons quitté cette maison avec regrets. Susan s’est vraiment bien occupée de nous, soucieuse que tout se passe bien (nous sommes arrivés tard et la lumière était même allumée). Elle nous a également aidés par avance pour organiser une sortie en mer pour la pêche et la dégustation d’homard.

Nice location that felt like a real getaway. Clean, friendly, peaceful place. The cottage is much bigger than expected. Three bedrooms for two people was overkill & we couldn't use the stove/oven, but it was lovely all the same. One thing to note: incredibly steep & tricky driveway to get to the entrance of the house if you've more than one vehicle. It's a very hilly island though and it adds to the feeling of seclusion. Would definitely recommend Picea for larger groups and families to appreciate it's full spectrum. :)
