Beautiful home and property.
Spent Thanksgiving holiday here with family. Was very nice place and having “spreading out room” on the property was wonderful. Afternoon games and a little fishing (didn’t catch anything but….) was the perfect getaway and no crowds to worry about like being at popular destinations. Owners very pleasant and easy to work with and despite the recent storms, the property was surprisingly well maintained. Would highly recommend for a getaway from it all.

Thanksgiving on the River
What a fabulous Thanksgiving on the Suwannee. A wonderful kitchen full of awesome smells and the chatter of family. An open floor plan with the Parade on and a wine fridge to support the mimosas flowing. The beds in every room were super comfy and the house and its grounds have a special energy that kept me and my family entertained - I never opened the computer up and that is saying something! Jacqueline was an awesome and responsive host - as she was the last time I was here.I hope to be here again soon.

Amazing River Front Property
This place was so amazing. The whole family had a blast and enjoyed every minute. Our host was so gracious and worked with us the entire trip with any little issues we had. The private spring right next to the property was the best surprise of all. Helped cool us down during the hot days.

Better than we could have imagined
This place was amazing. First off the host allowed for an earlier check in for our group. This was much needed as our group was traveling from 2 different states. When we arrived we were blown away by the place. Property was beautiful and the house was amazing. Pictures could never fully encapsulate how great this place looks. Right on the river with a spring right next door. Bedrooms were large and sleeping arrangements allowed for all 8 people to have their own bed. The host answered quickly to all of our questions. We are a group who travel once a year to a destination and have bee doing this for years.....this was one of the best trips we have ever taken. We will be back.

Private resort vibes - river style
Stayed here with a group of 12. It was spacious and comfy for all of us. The pictures do not do this place justice! It was absolutely beautiful! There is so much space and so many different areas to hang out that it felt like a private resort. The host was great and answered any questions we had. There were armadillos and deer all over the property that were exciting to see. I can't say enough nice things about this place.

A Few Day Get-Away on the River
This property is amazing in size, location and activity. Lafayette Blue Springs State park is a short drive from the house and serves as a unique landing to float the day on the river back to the house. The spring next door is lively with turtles, fish and bubbling water from below. There was ample space, utensiles, cookware and toiletriesis for all in my party, and more than enough space around the fire pit. Jacqueline is a very responsive and kind host who made me feel welcome from the start of my booking. There was a slight discrepancy between the checkout time VRBO listed in email and that which Jacqueline instructed, but she was very understanding and we worked things out without issue. I highly recommend this house, property and host. It was a trip!

Great property that makes you feel like you have total privacy. The house is perfect for gatherings with the family. Plenty of stuff to do for the kids and a great area for everyone to play and gather at ground level. Beautiful place. Firepit area was very nice. Not too far from any spring you want to get to really. I would 100% recommend this place and would rent again. Met all expectations plus some.

Great Fishing And Views Of The River
This is a beautiful, clean home with a great view and access to the river. The host was very quick to repond to my messages. We had great success with fishing during our stay. The quiet location made it a great place to view wildlife such as deer, gators and many birds. The water level was very low during our stay, this created a steep drop off to the water. We could still reach it by the boat ramp and by the stairs on the other side of the bridge. However, the bank was very muddy and uneven. The kids ages 4-15 enjoyed the many games and activities around the property. I would have liked to of had more available cleaning supplies such as paper towels, soap etc. and beach towels or something besides nice clean white towels to clean the kiddos up after a day of playing outside. We also didn't have enough of the proper size life jackets for everyone in our group to enjoy a canoe ride. We also thought the yard would of been a great place to play soccer etc.but the grass was too tall.

My family and friends stayed in the home recently. The town of Mayo is small but a nice reprieve from everyday life and traffic. There was no need to leave the house as it had everything we needed, the house IS the destination. We loved the spring right next to the property! My 4 yr old loved the sand pit and all the toys.

Gorgeous house and land
We weren’t entirely sure what to expect when we booked this house; we mostly wanted to “get away” for a few days in the middle of nowhere. This house did that and more! The photos don’t do it justice - it’s beautifully decorated inside and the grounds are incredible. This was the perfect escape with lots of outdoor games (cornhole, horseshoes, a sandbox with trucks for my toddler to play with), plus a canoe and kayaks and a spring around the river. Going for a run and enjoying the outdoors here was so relaxing. The house is near many state parks, and there’s tons of natural springs in the area. The wifi was a little spotty and when it went out for a few hours I texted and got an immediate response from the owner - this was over a holiday weekend and I was very impressed! We’d love to come back next year for another escape!

Nature at its finest
We loved staying in this beautiful home. This is vacation for nature lovers. If you want a relaxing time with family or friends where you grill, roast marshmallows, kayak, fish and just stay home and rest this os your place. There is a supermarket about 30 min away and some fast food restaurants, but we decided to just stay in and cook and enjoy the house. Very clean, only two bathrooms upstairs but itwasn’t a problem. We loved it and want to come back! Jacqueline was amazing.

Thanksgiving with Family
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.
