Tmobile and Verizon cellular services work well onsite, but for others you can use our wifi to enable wi-fi calling. The Grand Lodge also has a cell booster that can be plugged in for ATT service. There is a lot of wildlife that frequent our property regularly, and we haven't found a place yet where you hear the elk bugle more.

For several years we have visited Elk county and have stayed and traveled all over and we chose to buy land along Winslow Hill Rd since it is probably the best road to view and hear the elk.  

We purchased our Benezette property in 2020 and started renting our one lot out to camper guests with tents and all sizes of RVs.

In 2023 we bought what is now called the Scenic Lodge. The Scenic Lodge was once situated in the Poconos in eastern PA, but looked a lot different than what it does now. With a vision for a rustic camp with modern amenities and a few luxuries we decided to take on a project. First the removal from the Poconos, and transport to Elk County! Little did we know the hurtles we’d face, but nonetheless the vision carried on! After a couple months we finally had the permits and driver to transport and deliver what would become our Benezette Scenic Lodge! Hiring a contractor in a rural area that is populated by a mere 600 residents can be challenging, but we were able to find a contractor to do the job . 

While walking around the Scenic Lodge with the contractor, we heard what could only be the sound of kittens! To our surprise, this tiny home came with 3 kittens approximately 3 weeks old. No momma to feed them and a long ride under the belly of the tiny home for 180 miles. Our now construction project also became a mothering task. These babies, survived with no food or water for 3 days, but they adapted well and quickly became named, Reba, Oliver and Ozzy! Bottle fed, litter trained and, finding homes. Oliver and Ozzy found a home together and Reba, has become a permanent face for Benezette Scenic Lodge by becoming our pet! 

Now to start the project!

From vinyl, to Cedar tongue and groove, all white trim to green accents matching the already green tin roof, and the replacement of sliding doors to French doors, and our vision was taking on new life. Moving inside we’ve done lots of cleaning and a few minor upgrades for now. Our vision is taking shape and we are confident that this once drab tiny hone, will be a favorite spot to stay and enjoy everything Elk County has to offer. 

In 2024 we were told that Jerris needed a heart transplant so we decided to rent our Grand Lodge out to guests; somebody needs to enjoy it :).

We are currently booking both lodges, bearing in mind the vision isn’t complete for the two lodges. These lodges are still beautiful and admired by guests of all ages. Each lodge sleeps 6 people. Comes equipped with a full kitchen, bathroom, TV, WiFI, fire pit, park-style grill, picnic table, bed linens and more. Verizon and T-Mobile cell service works great onsite and other cellular users can use Wi-Fi calling. We are excited to have you enjoy this small slice of heaven on earth in Benezette PA.
