About the host
Hosted by Marilyn Scholl
My husband and I live in Arlington, VA, and we're both now retired. This property has been in his family since he was in junior high school. We have taken our children there since they were infants, and they're now in their late 20's and early 30's. We've made the cabin as comfortable as possible and want to share it with others since we only get there for a few weeks each summer.
Why they chose this property
Summer and early fall in Maine is glorious. The rocky shores, changing tides, amazing sunsets, fresh water quarry, and various hiking trails through the trees on the island are a treat to enjoy. Plus, being able to eat lobster every day if we want to is enticing. It is also an island custom to wave to every vehicle, bicyclist, or walker as you pass. And the Sunday morning pancake breakfasts are a special treat as are other island events throughout the summer.
What makes this property unique
Our cabin is the original boathouse for the dory boats used by the Coast Guard. When they modernized, this little building was floated up the harbor and carried up the hill to create a rental cabin. That's why there are barn doors on one end of the cabin. There's a pink granite ledge at the water's edge and my mother-in-law named the place Red Ledge because of that. There's an old rudder on the wall behind the TV that used to have a 12-pointed starfish in the center so she created a special clock. When you're there, you've entered Swans Island Time Zone which means: Eat when you're hungry, go to bed when you're tired, and get up when you're ready.
