About the host
Hosted by Susan Edson

Dave and I are New Englanders who have lived in Maine for over 40 years. We have been full time residents in our home in Bernard for 12 years.
Having grown up on the ocean, I love having property where I can watch how the weather and tides change our view of Bass Harbor on a daily basis.

Why they chose this property
Bernard is one of five villages in the town of Tremont. Bernard is a small area which affords walking distance from our house to the post office, library, and town wharf .
Bass Harbor is a lobster fishing harbor which also accommodates some pleasure boats. Nearby islands can be seen from vantage points in the village.

What makes this property unique
"Picea" is located away from Bernard Road and affords a good deal of privacy.
The cottage is 75 feet from the water, which is tidal. Watching the changing tide , seeing eagles circling around, and all the different types of shore birds is fun!
