Very comfortable house, great location!
We have stayed at Shannon Cottage 4 times and love it there. The house is comfortable and well equipped. We take our dogs and the fenced yard is great for them. The neighborhood is quiet but a short walk to the center of Bar Harbor.

Great relaxed house in a perfect location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and would do so again. Clean, comfortable, everything we could need was there, and the location was perfect for exploring everything while an easy walk to town. Our pups enjoyed the yard and were at ease in the quiet neighborhood. The owner communicated well and promptly. We even had fresh flowers! Thank you Barbara for a wonderful place to stay for our vacation! Made some great memories with our daughter.

Great Family Vacation Rental
We loved Shannon Cottage. We have been coming to MDI every year since our children were babies. This was the best stay so far. The house was extremely clean, well stocked, and well situated for adventures in town or anywhere on the island. Barbara is a great host. Thank you!!

Another fantastic visit
This was my second time booking this property and it was just as enjoyable as the last visit! The house is clean and in an amazing location, nice and quiet but close to everything we needed. When the lock stopped working, the issue was resolved quickly. I would be happy to stay here again in the future!

Vacation in Bar Harbor
My husband, my daughter and two grandaughters stayed here for a week. The location was better than expected and the house was very cozy and comfortable with everything you need. Safe and quiet neighborhood about a block from downtown. I would drive my family to dinner and then return the car to the house (husband sprained his ankle). Really enjoyed our stay at this house!

Wonderful cottage
My husband and I have enjoyed staying at Barbara's cottage for the past 5 years. We love hiking in Acadia National Park and then relaxing at the cottage with a nice dinner or going into town for an evening. The house is clean, comfortable and has everything you need. Barbara is a very responsive host as well as a lovely person.

Excellent location
The cottage was perfect for 4 adults and two dogs. Everything that you could ever require on vacation was provided by the homeowner. The large fenced in backyard was great place to run our dogs. The outstanding location was a 5 minute walk to town and a short drive to Acadia park. Highly recommended!!!!!! Joe / Pa

Wonderful stay
I brought my daugthers (9 and 11) and also my mom and dog. The fenced in yard was very handy. The neighborhood was quiet and it was safe and easy to bike and walk. We went to town by foot most times which was super convenient. Overall, everyone enjoyed their stay. If I could make one suggestion, it would be that the house needs room darkening shades for sleep purposes.

This was our second visit to this property and it will continue to be our first choice when planning upcoming trips to Bar Harbor. It's located in a quiet neighborhood that was within an easy walk to town and the water. Very close to hiking trails. We appreciated the special touches, including toiletries to cover unexpected needs and fresh flowers and chocolates on arrival. We're happy to have found this gem. It makes for easy trip planning in the future.

Perfect location! Lots of space!
We all enjoyed Shannon Cottage. We hosted lots of family gatherings. The large kitchen and deck made it easy. The yard was perfect for our many kickball games! The cottage is incredibly well stocked. We brought many things which we could have left home. The Shannon Road location was quiet and convenient. Just the best for our family vacation! Thank you, Barbara!

Perfect location in a pet-friendly town
We've been to Bar Harbor before, but this was the first visit with our two greyhounds. The cottage is tucked back in a quiet neighborhood that is only a 5-minute walk away from the dog-friendly town shops and restaurants, and a short drive to the back entrance to Acadia. The large fenced-in yard allowed the dogs to play off-leash. The cottage itself has a nice layout. We cooked meals every day in the well-equipped kitchen full of everything you'll need. There's a grill out back as well. We will look to stay here again on our next trip to the area.

Great location for access to Acadia
This house is right in downtown Bar Harbor. Perfect spot for grabbing food at the restaurants or the grocery store a few blocks away. We went to Acadia every day and it was a quick trip. The house is FULLY stocked including everything needed to cook. It was clean, nicely decorated and perfect for our family and dog. Quiet and safe neighborhood that our children could walk and scooter around. Host left us flowers and chocolates for Easter! Thanks for a great spring break vacation!

All the comforts of home.
We really enjoyed our trip to Bar Harbor. The location of this house is perfect. It’s a short walk into town and an easy drive to Acadia NP. We cooked most of our meals during our 6 day stay here. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, dishes and had a nice selection of spices. This made cooking at “home” a snap. The bed that I slept in is comfortable and the water pressure for showers was good. We were able to relax in the living room on comfortable furniture when we were out exploring. Our dogs loved the yard and in warmer weather there’s plenty of space to relax outside.

Dog Approved Acadia Adventure
Barbara's place was absolutely perfect for our visit to Acadia National Park! The location is a few minutes walk to Bar Harbor (shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, etc) and a short drive to Acadia National Park. We stayed here because of the location AND that it was dog friendly with a fully fenced in yard. The house was well stocked with amenities- Extra blankets, towels, a full kitchen with glasses and dishes, a first air kit, even board games! -you name it - it was a home away from home! Barbara even had a bouquet of fresh flowers in the kitchen when we arrived which was just another way she goes above and beyond. My family stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. If we ever get the chance to visit Acadia again, we will definitely stay here!

Love the extras!
Shannon Cottage is in a great location that is within walking distance to town. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, we felt extremely safe being out and about after dark. Well equipped kitchen with lots extras to help with cooking - new pans, bowls, cooking utensils, spices, sugar, oil, vinegar, Pam, paper products, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, dish liquid, etc. Games, books, and movies were provided for entertainment. Very accommodating of our dogs - fenced in back yard and a filled water dish was waiting for our arrival. Digital lock made it so everyone in our group could come and go as they pleased. Looking forward to a return visit!!

Another great Bar Harbor stay at Shannon Cottage
Our 2nd time staying here. The owner was good enough to set it up so we could arrive early. Place perfect for us. Very quiet street, yet stone's throw to Mt Desert St in Bar Harbor downtown. Allows you to ditch the car when going about town. Nice weather this time so we ate lunch on the deck under the parasol shade. A nice perk. Not related to the cottage but the lobster roll at "The Hotdog Stand" in Winter Harbor (Schoodic Pennisula) is my wife's new favorite after discovering last time here that Adelman's Deli had closed. Of course, it's a two-hour boat (or car) ride round trip but if you like hot buttered lobster rolls worth a stop if you're going out there.

Super clean, fabulous location
I traveled with my niece and our dogs. The enclosed backyard is spacious, secure and well maintained. It does not have night time lighting, so bring a flashlight. House is very clean and cozy. Beds are comfortable. Plenty of glasses, mugs, dishes and cookware. All in very good condition. We had great weather, but needed to use the heat once. It worked very well. It’s just a few blocks from the town square. Close to everything. We didn’t need our cars at all to do all the downtown stuff. I highly recommend this rental. We hope to book it again.
