Incredible Experience
We traveled to Benson to have a birthday celebration with family from Raleigh. The minute I saw this place on VRBO, I knew it would be amazing. The home was absolutely beautiful and well appointed. The views of the lake were picturesque. From the time we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms by Jerry (The owner) and his staff. What an incredible sight to see. So many beautiful animals were rescued by him. Animals that others either discarded or abused. My husband and I tried to help out as much as possible. We helped do therapy with a goat that cannot walk. It was such an uplifting experience to see him stronger and stronger each day. We also gave the dogs, cats, horses and donkeys treats every day. I can't thank Jerry and his staff enough for their warm hospitality and welcoming us into their lives.

Amazing, quiet, and relaxing atmosphere
We really enjoyed our talks with Mr. Jerry (the property owner) and watching the animals, sitting on the dock enjoying the pond, and the waterfall. The cabin/house is just beautiful and has a great view of the pond from the living room seating area. Mr.Jerry has a lot of awesome plans for the future. We will definitely visit again and I can't wait to see his visions come to fruition.

Jerry the owner of the property is a fantastic host and a great person. He had candy for the kids and fresh fruit for our stay. The animals are such a great addition and the scenic setting is a bonus everyday.
