Shannon Cottage: In-Town Bar Harbor - 5 min walk to Village Green

We had a wonderful stay at the Shannon cottage with our dogs. The large fenced in yard was perfect! Also, the house had a well stocked kitchen for cooking needs and even had a bathroom full of small details like q-tips and toothbrushes. My husband and I would definitely stay here again!

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! :)

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.

Great pet-friendly rental with a nice, big enclosed backyard and wrap-around porch. Will hopefully be staying again next year!

This was a perfect location. Best equipped kitchen I have ever seen.

We had a lovely stay! The house was in a great location. It was walking distance to town but located in a quiet neighborhood. The backyard was huge and our dogs loved it.

My family had an incredible stay here! It’s a really comfortable, clean house with a spacious fenced backyard that my kids and dog loved. It’s a very quiet neighborhood that’s also a five minute walk to the village green. Thanks for a memorable stay!

Barbara was a great host and very responsive. The house was well laid out and well stocked from towels to kitchen needs. House was clean and the fenced in yard was perfect for our dog to run around off leash. Great location with only a 7 minute walk to the Green.

Great location…spacious yard for our dog…was very clean!

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!

Perfect family cottage. Clean, well-stocked and close to town.

The Shannon Cottage was perfect as our home away from home in Bar Harbor.

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.

Shannon cottage exceeded our expectation!The location of the cottage was walking distance to everything in just a few short minutes. The check in process was super easy. It was clean, well taken care of and had everything we needed. The amenities at the home were perfect. The fenced in yard was perfect for our little French bulldog. We would highly recommend Shannon cottage to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in Bar Harbor.

The house is very conveniently located, well appointed (extra toiletries, razor, etc), cozy and comfortable. The owner communicated well and provided helpful information about the area. Wonderful stay!

We have stayed at Shannon Cottage many times. It is very comfortable and well stocked. The location is perfect! It is in a quiet residential area just a couple of blocks from the town square. The fened yard is great for our dogs. The owner is lovely and provides a personal touch.

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

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.

We loved this house, it's location and the amenities. The blueberry pie and the newspaper were a special touch. We will be back next year. Thank you It was great.
