About the host
Hosted by Judy Boone
I have been coming to Swan’s Island for over 40 years for Summer vacations to stay in my husband’s family home next door. As a realtor, real estate investor, and home designer I often imagined how I would restore this charming Island cottage. I was fortunate to be able to buy it when it came up for sale. It was beyond a fixer upper but it’s character and charm inspired me to save and enhance it. It was challenging to undertake such a project while living in Maryland and most people thought I should just tear it down. It had no indoor plumbing, a wood stove for heat, a dilapidated porch, and a collapsing foundation! As an interior designer I could only see it as it is now not as it was then and it was a joy for me to make it happen. With the help of many talented local artisans my vision became reality. While I have renovated several other homes this one has a special place in my heart. I knew when my husband passed away he would be interned here and his house would be handed down to others in his family. Having this cottage allows me to continue to visit and enjoy the island that we both love. Between our 5 children, 10 grand children, and 2 great grands hopefully there are many more Swan’s Island memories to come... I enjoy sharing this home with others as long as they treat it with the respect they want for their own home. From the amazing sunsets, to picnics at fine sand beach, from hiking, sailing, kayaking, and biking, to just watching the sunset or listening for the loons it is all good. The sights, sounds, scents and serenity of this island let us slow down just a little to let Mother Nature restore us and to sooth our soul...
