I have great admiration for Marion. Her relationship with Frank is interesting. She and Frank worked as a team. She lived at Robbinhurst in the winter with the Robbins and at the lodge in the summer. Her parents' home was in Rindge. There was a Mrs. Frank Robbins which I know nothing about. In 1946 Marion marries Frank and in 1947 marries Lawrence Davis. I think Marion was born in 1907 and thus would have been around 40 at the time of her marriages. I'm surprised that she waited so long to get married.

It seems like Marion was the brains behind this project, or at least the general contractor.

Yes. It was Marion and Frank. But Marion really wanted the Lodge, and it was mostly her idea. She did her share of the planning and construction, including building the stone fireplace. She was a good stone mason.
