About this property

Gorgeous Harbor Views On The Wharf! - The Boathouse At Corea Harbor!

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!

We've enjoyed stays at the Boathouse for years; it's such a special place - the views can't be beat! We could sit on the back deck our entire stay and be mesmerized by the amazing light, the lobstermen/women heading out and returning, the movement of the boats when they're docked and the wildlife. So incredibly relaxing!

If you like being perched above the water in a picturesque harbor with stellar views on 3 sides, this is for you. Clean, sunny, pretty well appointed and fun to be in. Two restaurants right down the street. Fun to watch the tides and lobstermen coming and going. Host very responsive!

There are reasons we're repeat visitors, spanning close to 15 years. A few: the location is off the beaten path, the Boathouse is utterly charming, the rhythms of a working fishing harbor...almost hypnotic, Kathy is ever helpful and welcoming, the salty air and finally...there's nothing like the tide going in and out to remind one of a constancy that exists beyond the chaos.

Longing to go Back...

What a fantastic rental! We thoroughly enjoyed corresponding with Kathy—a considerate, kind, helpful host—even before we arrived at the Boathouse. Once we arrived, we never wanted to leave. The views of the harbor are mesmerizing, and the house is very well outfitted. One of the unexpected pleasures of renting the Boathouse was being in the village of Corea. It was a pleasure chatting with neighbors as we walked our Corgi every morning—we felt like we were part of a community—and we also enjoyed the lobster rolls at Lunch on the Wharf and the Bell Buoy, both walkable. We definitely hope to rent again!

We had a wonderful stay and are so grateful to Kathy for sharing her home with us! The view in this house is unbeatable—right on the harbor in Corea. We significantly preferred the Schoodic Peninsula to being more in Bar Harbor. It is way quieter, but absolutely stunning. The house is close to delicious and more affordable seafood right off the boat, it’s a 5 minute walk from a sweet catch your dinner lobster boat tour, and good driving distance from both Bar Harbor and cool places like Lubec and Eastport further north. Communication with Kathy was easy and kind, checking in was easy, and the house had everything we needed. Thank you again!

Home was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed including linens, bath and kitchen. There was no cable or satellite tv but we brought a streaming stick as instructed and enjoyed movies at night. Wifi was great.We were able to bring our dog which was important and we enjoyed a lot of local hikes and beaches. The entire town was friendly and welcoming and gave us great suggestions where to go and how to get there.Staying right on the wharf and harbor was a really neat experience. We watched the boats come and go out of the harbor, which was peaceful and beautiful and not noisy for being on a working wharf.We walked to and ate at Lunch on the Wharf which was right next to the boathouse. Menu was varied, from burgers to fresh seafood, and was very reasonably priced.Our host was so friendly and helpful with great communications. All in all we loved our stay and will definitely be back!

This was the 2nd time we’ve stayed in the boathouse. And it was just as great as the first time! Accommodations were very good and the scenery out the windows was interesting & varied …..with the lobstermen coming and going each day. Also, the Wharf next door was an excellent eating place on the pier!

Beautiful harbor view

We loved the boat house. It has everything you need and the location gave us an up close look at a real working lobster fishing village. We met locals who were very anxious to talk about their village and offer suggestions for activities. We enjoyed just sitting on the deck watching the boats in the harbor and walking to the beach by the bay. Katherine, our host was so nice and available to answer any questions. We would definitely visit again.

We love Corea and the Boathouse is perched on a wharf right on the harbor. Lobster boats right out front, Lunch on the Wharf right nearby and tons of nature things to do all within easy reach. The house is nicely appointed and convenient to Schoodic Point national park, hiking trails, bird watching and much more. It is a two story house and there are stairs.

A Slice of Heaven

I've lived in Maine my whole life and have never experienced a place quite like the Boathouse in Corea. It was the quintessential coastal Maine experience. The house was lovely and quirky and comfortable. The working harbor and surrounding town was enchanting. We met many locals and truly felt as though we could move right in and enjoy life. Kathy, the owner, was a dear and included so many nice touches-from a welcome gift to suggested outings and eateries. Everything was idyllic. We were so sad to leave and even have spoken about returning in winter, or when we retire and can stay on forever! Thanks, Kathy. Corea is truly a gem!
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Aug 2023
I am always so pleased when people have such nice things to say about their vacation! That idyllic picture is part and parcel of the Gouldsboro Peninsula's rich history and credit goes to the people of the Peninsula. Corea is a slice of history you feel the minute you get out of your vehicle and smell the water or hear the bell buoy as the waves crash on the ledges on Cranberry Point. Sun or fog, you know you've taken a small step back into the past while most importantly, being able to live in the moment! Retirement in Corea? I've been thinking about that since I was 14. Thanks Julie for sharing your appreciation and experience. Do come back again!

We Loved It

Our family of five stayed here in late July of 2010 and absolutely loved it. It is a great little house with lots of New England charm. It is exactly as described in the listing. It only has one bedroom with an attached bath but it slept our family of five comfortably. Two double futons, a single futon and a pull out sleeper sofa are included in the house. The most valuable asset of this house is the view. If you pick up a guide book of Maine that has a picture of a harbor, lobster boats, wharves and lobster traps it is likely a picture of Corea. Corea is a sleepy little village. Bar Harbor it is not. There is only one store, an antique store, and it is only open two or three days a week. If you are a light sleeper you may wake up to the sound of lobster boats pulling out in the morning. It never bothered us though and I was actually disappointed when I slept through the boats pulling out in the morning. There is a nice beach within walking distance. The boathouse itself is two stories and is quite charming. It includes tongue and groove knotty pine wood throughout. Part of the character of this house is that it is old. The floors aren't perfectly level and a couple of the doors are on the low side. There is no air conditioning but with the provided fans we were never uncomfortable during the day. The nights get cool on the coast but plenty of comforters were provided and we never even thought about turning on the baseboard heat. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we ever needed. The kitchen is on the second floor so this could be a problem for the severely disabled. My wife is recovering from knee surgery so she tried to minimize the number of trips up and down the stairs but it never presented a real problem for her. There aren't that many stairs since the downstairs ceiling is somewhat low. The view out of the kitchen is amazing. The window over the sink looks out over the wharves. The other kitchen window looks out over the harbor. There are several other windows upstairs as well allowing for nice views from the dining room table. The house literally sits on a wharf. This means at high tide the water actually comes in under the house. At low tide the wharf sits pretty high above the ground - probably 15 feet or so. The back of the house includes a fenced off section of wharf for sitting and enjoying the view. Overall we would not hesitate to stay again. Kathy, the owner, was also very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed.
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Aug 2023
Paul, Lisa and their kids were great renters. They traveled a loooong way to come to Maine and it was very important to us that they found it all they hope it to be. What a gratifying thing it was to read their review and know that they explored and discovered the area much as our family did 40 years ago. The great thing is that there is always more fun to be had and we'd love to see them back next year!

Unique in every way

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Boathouse. It was equipped with everything we needed and offered magnificent views of the harbor. Our daughter and her family visited overnight from Wells, and the waterfront deck was a perfect play area for our young grandson. All of us took the Winter Harbor ferry to Bar Harbor, spotting an eagle, seals and lighthouses. The captain even let our 2 yr. old grandson skipper the boat! Made his day! Schoodic Point and the park were incredibly beautiful and, unlike Mt. Desert Island, there were no crowds or parking problems. Lobster from the co-op and lunch at the Pickled Wrinkle were exceptional. We would love to return next fall.

Location X 3

If you enjoy simple living, you have just found a little corner of paradise in Northern New England/Down East Maine. This is a spot where beauty abounds: a converted boathouse on a picturesque working fishing harbor with barrier islands beyond...The opportunities to enjoy nature in this area are boundless, so you will be busy, as we were taking advantage of all that was available. Now, if you are someone who needs all the amenities of modern living (cable TV, high-speed internet...it's there, just spotty, lots of gadgets and appliances) this place is not for you, pay more for someplace much less idyllic. Two tips for the wise:bring ear plugs - the harbor gets active at 3 am some mornings and it's noisy. Second, buy lobster at the co-op, and get the shedders. You will be happy, like us!

A perch on Corea Harbor.. Stunning views

The cottage was very clean and had great views from most windows. One is able to sit on the back decking area to watch the busy working harbor. I recommend bringing collapsible chairs with umbrella shades attached. This will allow you to enjoy the view longer on a very sunny day .We love to bike and enjoyed going out to Cranberry Point and around the harbor. One can also take the ferry from WH to BH. Enjoyed the very quaint Lobster Pound lunch next door. Only open during lunch. The Lobster boats.leave early in the AM but did not bother us. We will come back. Corea is quintessential Maine.

not a real house boat

This was not a real house boat ,but was attached to a wharf .Disappointed with the dirty rugs, dust webs on the window sills,only one set of sheets, and 3 face clothes were available to us. Very noisy at 4am with the lobstermen.Yes we knew this was on a working dock but just did not expect the stacking of lobster pots to start at 4am till 8am.This bothered my husband the most being on vacation, no curtains for back door so it made it very hot during day and the lock did not work and was falling out.The trash was not picked up and the animals made a mess.The view was beautiful and it was very quite at night .

About the host

Hosted by Katherine Christ-Janer

Host profile image

My name is Katherine Christ-Janer. I am the owner and manager of The Boathouse at Corea Harbor. Our family has owned The Boathouse and also the house across the street since the early 1970’s. My sister presently owns the house across the street as now both our parents have passed, so it is now our privilege to continue on.

Our family lived in New Canaan, Connecticut where my father Victor had a successful architectural firm during the hay-day of the mid-century modernist movement. My mother Beth was a homemaker and together they raised us kids. We were so fortunate to have many, many sweet summers in Corea.

Why they chose this property

In 1970, my father was touring with the Danforth Foundation, giving a series of lectures on architecture in colleges and universities all around the United States. Were it not for a lecture at Colby College in Waterville, Maine in the deep freeze of winter we might not have found Corea. My parents had been considering a summer home for a little while and despite the bitter cold temperatures in the area, my father set out on a mission. He decided to travel the coastline above Bar Harbor to the north. His first stop was the the Schoodic Peninsula. He arrived into Corea met a couple of artist painting from the back of their van. As my father explained what he was doing, the artists told my father that they had just made the drive from the north heading south, painting as they went and that he needn't bother going any further - that there was nothing more beautiful than Corea. This is how we ended up in Corea!

What makes this property unique

The most unique aspect of the Boathouse is the fact that the house sits directly on a working wharf dead center in the middle of town. Being in the Boathouse feels a bit like being in a boat. You can actually hear the water lapping the rocky shore and underpinnings of the wharf from inside the house. There are lobster traps on the wharf, as our friend Randy fishes from this wharf. You will see him and his boat come and go. The house isn't 'fussy' it is rustic and casual and has some interesting touches. For instance, when finishing the bathroom downstairs, my father retained an interior weathered shingled wall on which fisherman had carved their initials over the years. The enclosed wharf deck allows guest to sit as close to the water as the boats and gives one of the most coveted views of the harbor on the shore.
