About this cottage rental
This is a wonderfully unique property in the ultra quaint fishing village of Corea, Maine.
The Boathouse is a weather-grey shingled, rustic two-story structure that sits squarely on a fishing wharf in the heart of the village of Corea. Our family purchased the Boathouse in 1970 and it was renovated in 1977 my late dad, Victor Christ-Janer who was an internationally recognized architect with a love for the simple life.
The Boathouse has 180 degree views of the harbor from the sun drenched upstairs kitchen and dining area. Read a book or watch the boats come and go from the harbor on the gated outdoor wharf deck and listen to the tide come in underneath your feet!
You can easily walk, jog or bike your way around the harbor. Bring a camera or a sketchbook - there is a photo-op every ten steps! Explore off the beaten path side roads, rock walking, discover the sunny beach which gives way to the sandbar that will take you to an island exploration at low tide, pick wild blueberries or buy a bucket of lobster at boat-side prices from the Corea Co-op.
People come to Corea (once called Indian Harbor) for the slow pace yet discover that restaurants, snack bars, grocery shopping, 5 & 10 are all a scenic 10-minute drive away. Nearby Winter Harbor is home to the Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia National Park. Drive or bike the 8-mile loop road. Hike one of several trails to the top of Schoodic Point.
Feed the gulls and watch the waves crash on the rocky coast with Mt. Desert Island in the background.
For a longer excursion, you are 30 minutes from Ellsworth for large shopping centers, big box stores, pharmacies, more great food. Corea is about 50-60 minute ride over to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. If the little ones need distraction, the road from Ellsworth towards Bar Harbor is your answer. Mini-golf, scenic airplane rides, a small animal preserve to name a few will fit the bill. Shop, eat, whale watch, hike, climb, swim. It’s all there on at Acadia National Park on Mt. Desert Island.
The Boathouse offers the vacationer casual, well appointed lodging at budget prices, with easy access to a whole lot of relaxation!

8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
The view is great.Corea Harbor is a classic down east lobstering village. The folks are friendly and there are many new dog friends for your pup to meet.The two story layout of the boathouse is a bit challenging for older folks with mobility issues. Sorry to say we have become those “older folks” and will need to find another rental for our annual visit to the Schoodic peninsula.

Great base for an outside week; hiking, biking, etc. Had everything we needed to recover from busy days and plan the next one. Quiet uncomplicated location. Loved it. Ceilings are low.
