We stayed here 3 years ago and we enjoyed it both times. Our dogs loved the fenced backyard and we all enjoyed the short walk to everything downtown. The bathroom has been updated and is really nice. The house is cozy and comfortable. We have stayed in several other properties in Bar Harbor and we like this one best for our travel needs.

We had a great stay at Shannon Cottage! Barbara was lovely, very organized and communicative. She had some flowers and chocolates out for us when we arrived, and pointed us in the right direction when we needed to find a car mechanic! The cottage was cozy and clean, and the yard was fenced in securely so our dog could safely go out. There was also a spot that was consistently shady so we could play soccer outside comfortably any time of day. The location was perfect—the street was quiet, but it was a short walk to town. While our car was getting fixed (there is a mechanic right down the street and they have another shop about 4 miles away), we found we could get anywhere we needed to go by walking to the village green and taking the free island explorer busses. Dogs allowed! The grocery store, Hannaford, is also a short walk. Bar Harbor was awesome as usual—There is a great new bookstore behind Reel Pizza, we had popovers at The Stadium, there is yoga at 9:00 every morning on the lawn by the beach walkway, and Diver Ed’s Dive in Theater, at College of the Atlantic, was like an educational 2 hour stand up show! We had a minor medical emergency while we were there, and the hospital was also within walking distance to the cottage. Barbara was a great host, and we would definitely want to stay there again!

We loved everything about our stay at the shannon cottage. Barbara was very responsive.The house is fantastic, very well equipped kitchen, the grill in the backyard is new. The yard was incredible, totally fenced in. The dogs loved it, it was safe for them. The wrap around porch was a favorite place for breakfast, afternoon snacks and cocktails. The house is well maintained, the bathroom is brand new and gorgeous. The beds were very comfortable.The house was spotless. We loved it, look forward to returning.

Another nice stay at Shannon Cottage

This is our 4th stay here, I think. Have lost track. It's amazing how quiet it is considering how close it is to BH ctr. We value being able to park the car (plenty of room for multiple cars although we only ever have one) and walk everywhere in town after a day in the park. Not only close to restaurants but also < 10 minute walk to the YMCA

Great location and responsive host! Needs improvement in cleanliness And maintenance.

Shannon cottage from the outside is charming and the location is fantastic. Barbara is very responsive and very helpful. Perhaps because it was the end of the season, the bathroom was not very clean, and there were a number of minor maintenance issues that need to be addressed which we communicated to her.

Great Stay in Bar Harbor

While we had some unexpected events happen while we were on our way to and in Bar Harbor we are very thankful we truly had a home away from home! Anything and everything we could have needed was at the house and a lovely treat was waiting for us from Barbara too! Having a single story worked great for the aging family members we had with us as well. Overall I couldnt have wanted or needed anything more for our stay. We will be back to stay again!

Quiet home near main street Bar Harbor

We were a family of 5 that stayed for a week. The house was immaculate and very well stocked. The host, Barbara was very attentive, although we really didn't need to contact her for anything. The location was great. The neighborhood was quiet, which was a nice contrast to the bustle of main street. Had we brought our dogs there was a very nice fenced in yard. The twin beds were a little stiff and while the house was air conditioned it was done with units, the main one being in one of the bedrooms. It was quite loud, but all of the units together did the trick. We turned the main one off at night after the house cooled down and were quite comfortable. This is the perfect place if you want to be close to main street but also would like your space and privacy. Would definitely stay again.

As good as a high end hotel

This property was amazing. Yard and house was much bigger than expected. We had 4 adults, one kid, and 2 large dogs and had room to spare. Perfect location off of main roads but short walk to everything. Everything was stocked more than any other place I've stayed. Its clear the owners take pride and joy in this place.
