Shorefront Cottage on Bass Harbor with Mountain Views

Enjoy living on the Maine coast with views of the mountains of Acadia National Park. 'Picea' (Latin for spruce) is a spacious cottage located on Bass Harbor. The cottage provides a private, quiet escape within easy walking distance to the Bass Harbor town dock, Bernard library, and Thurston's, one of the best lobster pounds on Mount Desert Island.

Sit on the spacious deck or in the sunny living room and watch eagles soaring overhead. In the evening, enjoy a cozy fire in the living room fireplace.

The large, well appointed master bedroom, with a separate entrance to the deck, captures the morning sun. Connected to the bedroom is a tiled bathroom with a walk in shower.

Fine dining , groceries, galleries, are minutes away in Southwest Harbor. Acadia National Park is easily accessible as are the warm waters of Echo and Long Lake for swimming

About the host

Hosted by Susan Edson

Host profile image
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!
