We cannot say enough positive things about our stay at GHRR. Our family is originally from Suwannee County, but many of us now live in other areas of Florida, and Texas. For about two decades now we relish the annual tradition of gathering at the "family" home in Live Oak for Thanksgiving. Over the years, what with the arrival of spouses, children, and grandchildren, we can no longer fit all of us under one roof for family gatherings. This year, however, I lucked out and found the listing for GHRR on VRBO. Mine and my sister's families were able to be together, all 14 of us. We were so grateful.
The photos on VRBO do not do the property justice. From the moment we turned down the driveway, we knew we were blessed to have found this amazing property.
The "Great Room" area could not be a better space for family to hang together while cooking, playing cards, feeding grand-babies, watching TV, chatting, or staring out the window at the Suwannee River. The bedrooms are well appointed and comfortable, as are the bathrooms. Upon our arrival the bathrooms were stocked with more than enough towels for 14 people. The kitchen is very nice, and had everything you could need for cooking family meals. We cooked spaghetti the first night, and on Thanksgiving each of us had a dish to cook/prepare to take to Thanksgiving. The laundry room is wonderful, and very handy when you have babies and toddlers. The house is AMAZING.
The outside property, again, there are not enough positives I could say. The house sits next to the Suwannee, with a most picturesque view. The owners provided a number of outdoor activities; giving guests the opportunity to thoroughly enjoy the property. We took full advantage of the fire pit, canoe, kayaks, corn toss, pool table, and the sand play area. There are also lovely paths for walks.
Jaqueline was an amazing host to work with. Our family loved our stay so much, we want to reserve the property again next year. We cannot recommend this property enough.
