Live Oak, Florida
Set about 300 yards off the street, our home is conveniently located just 3 miles from Live Oak. It is surrounded by 200+ acres of commercial timberland and old-growth, upland hardwood forest.
On the same property we have two additional VRBO homes. Booked together we can host a total of 25 Guests! One is next door (300' away), the other is a 1 mile drive. For more info, search for "Catherine's Place" and "Inn the Woods" or message us for links to them.
Our home was built in 1943 from timber off the land by Host's grandparents and is of old Florida Cracker architecture. The home has been updated with central Heat & AC, WiFi (17+ Mbps), and 4 Smart HDTVs that stream online content.
Our home is set about 300 yards off the street and beside other homes with their own driveways 50 yards to each side.
Guests will have access to the entire home other than 2 closets secured with deadbolt locks and marked "Owners Closet."
Our neighborhood is quiet and is not on a commercial street or main highway. The street begins 2 miles away in a residential subdivision in town and ends about a mile past our home.
There is a state managed public lake less than a mile away that has fishing piers, a boat ramp, and plenty of parking space. Suwannee Lake was temporarily closed for a couple of years for renovations but has now reopened. Don't expect to water ski here, at 63 acres its more a fishing pond with quite a few cypress tress.

My wife Vicki and I travel a lot and often have very little or no contact with our guests. However, we have a handyman and a housekeeper available for most issues that may arise.
Everything was easy. Property is very historic and nice. The owner is very easy to communicate with. There was a storm right before we came. They did everything they could to get everything restored for us to be there. They went above and beyond to make sure we had contact info for everyone. Minutes from great restaraunts. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your property.

Beautiful, quaint home perfect for my out of family that came up for my daughters wedding this past Saturday. It was conveniently located to the venue and easy to find. Competitive pricing and able to accommodate a large family without feeling cramped. Would definitely reccommend.
The house was equipped so we could prepare meals and dine together. It was very quiet and peaceful. It was an easy daily drive to the music festival and back.
