About this property

Expansive views down Penobscot Bay with beach. A truly remarkable location at the north end of Penobscot bay. This is our summer house, not a cheap rental. Private setting down a quaint dirt road. Enjoy seals, sailboats, our osprey family and views of islands from our deck. The beach at sunset is stunning. Cape Jellison is a very special place, a secret spot in the heart of Penobscot bay.

A lovely spot situated on the bay. A quiet place for family to gather and a great jumping off point to see all that Down East has to offer. I would return today.

Comfortable home in great location

Everything was lovely and convenient. The house is well equipped and comfortable. About an hour or less drive to any day excursions, or we could just stay at the house and take a walk or go down to the beach. We loved it.

We had a great time in Maine and at our home for the week ‘Osprey’

Osprey offered everything we needed for a lovely summer getaway. Comfortable beds, cozy living space, deck , well equipped kitchen and an amazing view all contributed to a beautiful week.

Awesome

We had a great stay. The house is comfortable. It was nice to have a main floor bedroom for my 85 year old mother. The children really enjoyed going down to the water. The kitchen is stocked with most everything you might need. Great place to stay on the Maine coast!

Nice quiet location

The house listing was very accurate. It was easy to find and getting into the house was easy. Loved the set up and it was very clean. Owner was quick to respond to text messages. Even though it rained and most days the weather was less than ideal there was still plenty to do in the area. This was a nice relaxing vacation with friends

Amazing getaway

This house is nestled in the most serene setting. We brought our kids here to experience Maine at its finest. The changing leaves were amazing, the walks on the beach to find sésgalas gave the kids endless entertainment. The house has everything you can imagine needing. We will most definitely be back!

A relaxing get away.

We had a great time here as a family! It was our first trip to Maine and it was well worth it! The home was very cozy and everything was well stocked. Sue checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and even gave tips on places to eat and things to do in the area.While here we got to experience the wonderful wildlife on the property such as seals(in the water at the beach) ospreys,and an eagle! Our family had a wonderful time while in maine and while staying at the osprey! Thank you guys for a great place to stay while on vacation!

A quiet get-away

We really enjoyed our stay. We loved sitting on the deck, looking out at the water and listening for birds. The walk down to the water was magical. The bridge over the small stream and all the greenery then it opens up onto the dramatic shoreline. The house had everything we needed and plenty of room for our family of four. Chris and Sue’s property is comfortable and inviting.

Comfortable house, deep in nature, great location

We stayed in the Donohue’s lovely house for three summer weeks to escape the southern heat where we live. We lived on the comfortable deck whenever we weren’t out exploring the many fun towns and parks that are a short ride away. While at the house, we saw seals, fox, a family of wild turkeys and lots of beautiful birds. The house was easy to cook in and barbecue and there were tons of fun restaurants and farmer’s markets nearby to sample. The house stayed comfortably cool, and we even had to turn the heat on a couple of times.

Best place to be active and chill

Sue was an incredibly helpful host and provided 2 kayak rental contacts. We went with Kayak Dan (Ducktrap) who provided fantastic gear & safety instructions for our 3 boys. Paddling in the bay as a family was the highlight of our stay - explored the coast down to Fort Point lighthouse and got followed by curious seals. Paddled the opposite direction and enjoyed skipping rocks on some of the beaches and watching the boats in the bay. The Osprey Cottage was perfect for our family of five and Sue even upgraded the wifi so we had no grumpy teens at night. Loved having a washer/dryer on-site and the kitchen was stocked with papper towels, napkins and even condiments in the fridge. Ideal location - peaceful spot with great wildlife sightings and perfect access to the bay but still close enough to grocery stores, restaurants and Acadia Natl Park.

Just what we needed!

We are so very sad that we had to leave. Booking, check-in, check-out we’re all very smooth. The house had enough space for the 5 of us to be perfectly comfortable. The beds were great! The kitchen was fully stocked with all that we needed. Whether we stayed in or went out, there was something to keep us entertained. There are plenty of books for both adults and kids to read. Cards, Monopoly and Scrabble were great to play when coming in from a long day. Meals on the deck with the lovely view of the water cannot be matched! Sue was only a text away. She reached out to ensure all was well and left a very thoughtful gift bag for us upon our arrival. I highly recommend staying at Osprey and my family and I cannot wait to come back as there’s so much more to explore in the area!

Great House in Down East Maine

Those of us who stayed at this house really enjoyed it. We were a group of two families- one couple with one 3.5 year old and another couple with a 4 year old and a 7 year old. The yard was beautiful and the yard and deck were great for the kids to play. We had fun using the fire pit and cooked corn and smores one night. The living room and kitchen area was nice and open for everyone to hang out. I would wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay at a comfortable and affordable home near Acadia, Bar Harbor, Belfast, Camden, etc. A few thoughts- The kitchen is fully equipped. They have everything you could ever want! The larger family took the upstairs and the smaller family took the one bedroom downstairs. This meant sharing a bathroom and shower by through the living room and kitchen. The linens were clean and fine but could have been a little fresher. The beds are on the older side but were fine. The beach wasn't very accessible to us. We took our rainboots and knew it was a walk. But we weren't quite expecting what a walk it was and that there were so many enormous trees and logs downed right at the entrance to the beach. We climbed over it to visit on the first night but without anywhere to sit, such slippery rocks, and a buggy and then treacherous walk to get to it, we really weren't able to enjoy it. Maybe if we had older kids? But then if this house had a super close usable beach we probably wouldn't have had it in our budget to stay. Great property and we highly recommend!

Cozy, well cared for home

It was nice to stay in a place that is clearly a family's summer dwelling, so it had lots of care and personality, was lived in and loved. It was a bit of a challenge staying here with a 10 month old, but we did it! We had to block off the stairs with chairs and remove some items on low shelves. The pack-n-play was helpful and there were lots of sweet books and some toys. He crawled around on the porch even though it was a bit rough. He loved crawling in the yard too and took his very first steps! The property is pretty isolated with just a couple neighbors, but close enough to grocery stores and other attractions. We loved walking down to the water in the mornings and watching the sun rise, had fires at night and saw lots of stars. The trip to Bar Harbor was fun. Take note that you need a reservation to drive up Cadillac Mountain, we got turned away without one. Overall, the sound of the waves, the well-equipped kitchen, cozy blankets and heat made for a delightful family October getaway!

Happy Place!

My husband and I both agreed we did not want to leave at the end of our stay. The cottage was cozy, comfortable and easily became our Happy Place. Sue and Chris thought of every amenity and their suggestions made our vacation go very smoothly. We are hoping we can return to Maine soon and if we do, we will certainly want to stay at Osprey again! Great vacation! Thanks Sue and Chris!

The Osprey

Very cute, cozy house. Well stocked. I would say above and beyond the usual. The Monahons were responsive to all of our questions, obviously wanting to do anything to ensure we were happy, which we were. We all enjoyed the rocky beach and searching for driftwood. Our grandson had a blast building a fort down there. It was a fun stay for all! I would highly recommend the nearby Hitchborn for a great dining experience also.

Quiet rest on the rocky coast of Maine

The fantastic location of this house, with the beach just a short walk down the hill, was very convenient for our family. It's centrally located between Camden/Rockport and Acadia allowing for any number of entertaining options for day trips. From the house, there is no traffic noise, just the sound of moving water from the streams or the waves on the bay. The deck is a great spot for dinners or morning coffee and allows you to see out to the bay or just sit and bird watch. We spent hours walking the beach behind the house looking at the rocks and reading. The surrounding area of Stockton Springs/Searsport/Belfast has plenty to see and do - museums, shopping, restaurants, a light house - so you don't have to spend all your time driving and can understand why Maine chose the state slogan "The Way Life Should Be".
