Shannon Cottage was well appointed, clean, and very comfortable. The host was lovely, and provided detailed information needed for check as well as location specifics a few weeks out, and the check out routine was easy peasy. The location was absolutely fabulous - close enough to walk into town, yet far enough away from the center to be a peaceful retreat. All in all a five star experience, and our dog gives his vacation 2 paws up! Thank you to our host, Barbara! MCF

We stayed here for a week over the 4th of July and was great. This house was one of the best appointed VRBO rentals we have stayed at. Everything was thought of, downtown beach towels and chairs. We loved how walkable it is to Downtown Bar Harbor. We were able to walk to the main drag within 5 minutes and could walk to the harbor on the other side within 10 minutes. It was also very close to Acadia and could get to most trail heads within 15-20 minute drive. Even with being so close, still had a quiet neighborhood feel.

This property is perfect for people traveling with their dog(s)! Dogs can safely enjoy a large fenced in yard and also have access to the wrap around deck. The cottage is located in a quiet neighborhood and is only a short stroll to reach Bar Harbor. We had a nice family vacation with our adult sons and their spouses. Plenty of space for all of us. Also, the kitchen is well appointed with what one would normally need. Quality bathroom linens was an appreciated touch also. We will definitely return to Shannon Cottage (we even know the perfect spot to add a 1/2 bath!)

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.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barbara’s beautiful property in Bar Harbor. The house was perfect, comfortable, clean, and cozy. We arrived a little before check-in and Barbara was kind enough to let us check in early! The house lacked nothing… the kitchen is fully stocked, the directions for everything (tv, smoke alarm, etc) all clear, and the shower was great after long days of hiking and walking around town. The location is wonderful. We were away from any town noise but able to walk to anywhere in bar harbor (shops, restaurants, food shopping, etc) within 10 minutes. I would highly recommend this property! We hope to be back. Thank you! :)
