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.

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.

Our rural community has no public transportation. There is taxi service and an uncontrolled general aviation airport (24J) with one paved 4000' runway about 6 miles away.

Amtrak service to the US mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states as well as Central and South Florida is available from Jacksonville, 90 miles away.

Many people enjoy riding bicycles on our rural highways and there are dozens of miles of paved rails to trails paths within a half-hour.
