This isn’t for the faint of heart.

This is my journey to rediscover passion and purpose in life after a shocking separation from my husband, life and business partner of more than 25 years.

And I haven’t just survived the shock – I’ve recommitted to the woods, the work and the values that led us to found In The Sticks Cabins.

Now, Building Benezette is where my grit, professional expertise, and love for the PA Wilds landscape allows me to give back to this community. Whether you are a ‘Wanderer’ looking for the perfect Pennsylvania Great Outdoors adventure or a ‘Builder’ looking to grow your own rural business, I’m here to show you how to build a life – and a legacy – in these woods.
