This is our second year staying at Picea and with Susan and Dave Edson. Picea is a wonderful spot and the Edison's are very nice people. They are always there to help but are very respectful of your privacy. This house and experience exemplifies, "Maine, the way life should be."

This home in Bernard on the water on the south side of Mt. Desert Island was a wonderful and very comfortable home for our group of 5 adults. It was clean and had all we needed to relax, prepare meals, and sleep well after the day exploring the region. The owners were quickly responsive to any questions and had suggestions on local hiking spots and where to eat close by. We enjoyed our time on the porch relaxing in the cool summer weather (we are from FL so it felt like heaven to us), soaking in the smell of the trees, and the peacefulness of silence other than birds and the breeze.

This was our favorite stay on Mt. Desert Island! Susan was a wonderful host and easily accessible. She gave us some great recommendations for hikes and restaurants nearby. Our place had all the amenities we needed. Comfortable beds, great views and loved sitting out on the deck in the morning and evening. Right on the water!

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.

Loved the quiet side of the island

Loved the quiet side of the island

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. :)

Wonderful stay at Picea

Wonderful stay at Picea

Picea, the house we rented, was wonderful and our host, Susan, was very responsive, helpful and a pleasure to meet. The house is exactly as advertised. Everything was clean, in order and ready for us when we arrived. It's cozy and right on the water near John's Island at the upper reaches of Bass Harbor. Convenient to both Northeast and Southwest Harbor. Susan gave us several great tips on where to eat, how to avoid the crowds at Thurston's (great tip that saved us an hour) and how to get around the traffic leaving the Island on Saturday. She is a wonderful host. I would highly recommend this rental.

Nice peaceful vacation in Bernard, Maine

Nice peaceful vacation in Bernard, Maine

We had a very pleasant stay at Picea vacation rental. The home has large windows and a nice deck overlooking the harbor. Acadia National park is close where we hiked, biked on carriage trails and went swimming at Echo lake. Loved the lobster roll and lobster stew at Thurstons. We also went on a whaling cruise and saw humpback whales. Overall, a great vacation!
