We absolutely loved this cabin in Corea. My wife and I stayed here for five days during Labor Day weekend. The cabin was the perfect spot to completely relax while having all the activities of Bar Harbor near enough to access. The cabin is three minutes walk away from the Corea wharf. You can see lobster traps, eat at the amazing Corea Wharf Gallery (open only till 5, best lobster roll, crab roll, and blueberry pie of the whole trip), or walk around the ocean front. There is a lovely art gallery right across from the cabin where you can find Maine-made gifts, jewelry and art.

We enjoyed biking on Paul Bunyan road, a ten mile circuit about five minutes from the cabin, where you have ocean front on one side of the road and peaceful forest on the other. A short drive from the cabin will bring you into the Schoodic peninsula. We ate at the Pickled Wrinkle (delicious seafood and lots of local beers), enjoyed the local portion of Acadia National Park, and had amazing ice cream at Me and Ben's. There is a ferry that takes you to Bar Harbor, or you can take an approximately fifty-minute ride by car. The Mount Desert Island portion of Acadia National Park is more breathtaking, but there were so many tourists that we only went on two occasions.

We loved Corea because it had all of the nature without any of the crowds. The sense of peace is wonderful. We saw very friendly locals and a few tourists, but otherwise we heard seagulls, birds and tree leaves. Waking up in the morning to the sounds of the ocean was amazingly restorative. We enjoyed coffee on the porch and read a lot.

A couple of things to be aware of: the beds are on a loft that is accessible by a relatively narrow and steep staircase. Not a problem for us, but it might be for others who have mobility concerns. We definitely bought water to drink and to cook with. There is iron sediment that is pretty noticeable in the taste of the water, so the one meal we made, we used water from a gallon. We also were never able to access wifi. However, this did not take away from our enjoyment of the cabin and in fact got us to truly disconnect. There is wonderful food three minutes away, so we took advantage of that to the fullest. Otherwise, the cabin was very clean, the living area spacious and comfortable, and the outdoors wonderful. We will definitely be back and fully recommend.
