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!
