Historic Southern Retreat for Families & Groups Sleeps 10


The space
Step into a piece of North Florida history. Built in 1923 and lovingly restored, this 5-bedroom home sleeps up to 10 and sits in the heart of Live Oak — a 10-minute drive from Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, 30 minutes from Ichetucknee Springs, and walkable to downtown restaurants and shops.

Few rentals in the region can offer what The 1923 does: original hardwood floors, historic millwork, and authentic Southern character combined with modern comfort, fast WiFi, and space for your whole group. This isn't a cookie-cutter vacation home. It has a story — and now it's yours for the weekend.

Comfortably sleeps up to 10. Perfect for groups of 6, 8, or 10. Split between 8 guests, that's less than a hotel room each — with a fully equipped kitchen, fire pit, and room to spread out.

5 private bedrooms
3.5 bathrooms
Fast WiFi + dedicated workspace
Fully equipped kitchen
Large dining & gathering spaces
Washer & dryer
Self check-in
Free parking for multiple vehicles
Fire pit & outdoor seating
Family-friendly layout for groups & extended stays

After a day on the river or at the springs, gather around the fire pit under a canopy of live oaks, listening to the Suwannee night wind down. Cook a big group meal in the fully equipped kitchen, stream your shows with fast WiFi, or just sit on the porch with a drink and let North Florida do its thing.

The 1923 is ideal for:

Tournament travel — baseball, softball & youth sports
Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park festivals (Hulaween, River Jam & more)
Family vacations & reunions
Wedding guests & event weekends
Church retreats & group trips
River weekends & spring-hopping adventures
Traveling professionals & remote workers
Extended stays in North Florida
