Great Value with a Country Feel

Property is a great value for the rate. The home faces away from the road and overlooks a large pasture/field that makes you feel like you are in the country. Owners are VERY responsive and easy to work with. Having a dog with us we LOVED having a fenced in area around the entire home. You can see the owners home from the property. The home backs to a fairly busy 2 lane road and the primary bedroom is on the back side, while there is some nice space in between the home and road as a light sleeper that is used to a quiet area I could hear some traffic noise.

Best Choice Ever

I made the best choice for a place to stay while we were visiting family in North Carolina. The house was as described and we felt at home as soon as we arrived. The home was clean and very well kept. The yard was great for our dogs. Pam is a wonderful lady and host. She lives on the property and is available at any time for anything. I will definitely book this home whenever I visit family in North Carolina.

Beautiful stay in the country

It was a very relaxing, quiet, peaceful stay. We loved sitting on the patio in the evening. My dogs were in love with the yard. The place was perfect for a stay while our new house was being purchased. I highly recommend Pam as a host, she was friendly and accommodating!!

Comfortable House, Great Yard

Was working remotely from Raleigh for a couple of weeks. The house was clean and comfortable, and my dogs loved the yard. As a footnote, if you're traveling with dogs or veterans, the neighbors across the street shot off firecrackers and fireworks for over two hours in the evening on Independence Day, so we spent that time driving around to avoid the noise. No reflection on the property, just a watch-out so you can be prepared.

Temporary Home

My family (2 adults and 1 child) stayed at this property for over a month while our new home was being finished. This property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a laundry room. The hosts who also live near the property were very pleasant. They would check in to see if we needed anything and communicate any upcoming details we should know. The property was great for our older dog too. A fenced in yard and ramp to the front door. The road the property is on is a tad busy at times. But, that wouldn’t deter me from staying here again if ever needed. Overall a great stay!

Wonderful property.

We have been staying in Dr. Pam's VRBO for a couple of weeks now (while looking for a home to buy) and we love it. The property is well maintained and clean. We have everything we need here for a short term rental. Great for if you're traveling with pets. The owners are close to the property and make sure you have everything you need. They have been very kind without encroaching on our privacy. Highly recommend this VRBO.

Perfectly Accommodations! Very conscientious host.

Couldn’t have wanted for more. VRBO rental home was clean, organized, welcoming, all the comforts of home! Loved the expanse of the property and the safe location which was close enough, yet far enough away from shopping and city proper. I'd stay at same VRBO rental home in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Dr. Pam Page Carpenter

Host profile image
I am a native of Garner, NC. Garner has the feel of a small town, with great communities and people (Garner-known for Scotty McCreery) yet close to universities and the city. It's the best of both worlds. My Dad advocated for saving green space and farms and he purchased this land to save it from future development.

My husband Don and I look forward to being your hosts for your stay and want to ensure you enjoy your visit. We created this dog-friendly space since we travel with our dogs and always look for homes with a fenced in yard, safe community, and comfort.

Why they chose this property

The majority of this land was where Black Angus cows were raised and roamed the acres of pasture. The back section of the community next door is where tobacco was raised as part of the Rand farm. This was a large working farm back in its day.

What makes this property unique

Eco-friendly with bamboo floors, no VOC paint, raised dog beds and bowls await your four-legged family members.
New appliances-washer/dryer, refrigerator, stove/oven
Dog-friendly with fully fenced in yard
Rural setting yet close to small towns (Garner, Clayton, Fuquay) and downtown Raleigh
Eleven (11) miles to NC State
Close to restaurants, shopping, and dog friendly places
Lake Benson Park is a short drive from the bungalow for your four legged family members and you to explore
There's always something to do whether it's kayaking on the lake or down the river, hiking, festivals, exploring historic sites, brewery and winery tours-this area has an abundance of things to do and see.
