About this house rental

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!
