About Billie Rooney
Scott and Billie Rooney live on a farm outside of Live Oak, FL , about 35 miles from Paw Paw's Place. They grow blueberries and blackberries for U-Pick and have a flock of sheep and a few cattle. Originally from St. Petersburg, they moved to North Central Florida in 2005.
Billie Rooney purchased this house in 2001
Why Billie Rooney chose North Central Florida
We have been vacationing on the Suwannee River for many years. It is a great place for families to enjoy nature, connect with each other and just all around have fun. Paw Paw (Billie's dad) dearly loved this place. When he became ill, he needed to sell it and wanted it to stay in the family. We purchased it and have been renting it to vacationers since. He was proud to have so many families be able to experience the peacefulness and family fun that his family did over the years.
What makes this house unique
There is nothing like having your morning coffee on the screened porch overlooking the slow moving water of the Suwannee River. Enjoy the peace and quiet as you watch the squirrels scurry through the trees, fish jump and see the occasional fisherman pass by.
When you're up and ready to go, there are many springs nearby for swimming. You don't want to miss floating down the Ichetucknee River in a tube or on a raft. Canoe the Suwannee or bring your motor boat. Or just stay and home and fish off the dock or play in the water.
Grill your supper and have an outdoor meal on the picnic table. Then end the evening with a campfire. Makes for a great nights sleep!!

Paw Paw's Place
We had a great time at Paw Paw's place, it was way deep in the woods, peaceful and quiet,
lots of wild animals, the flowing of the river from the porch was fantastic, fishing from the floating dock was good, very relaxing.
All the luxuries of home, not far from town.
Able to park my pontoon boat at the floating dock and able to go out early in the mornings and late in the evenings for a boat ride.
The house was fantastic and comfortable, the beds slept great.
The kitchen was very nice and easy to cook meals in.
Serendipity
Paw Paw's place was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway dedicated to floating on Florida's beautiful rivers. It is close to many different rivers and springs. When we weren't floating down the Santa Fe or Ichetucknee or exploring Ginnie and her sister springs, we were floating on Paw Paw's dock, enjoying the Suwannee River. The home was clean and easy to find if you follow directions. A short drive away is town where you can find most of what you might need. Both rooms have king beds which allowed for stretching out. The beds were very comfortable, and we slept like rocks. The screened porch was a fantastic place the enjoy our evening meals in nature without being eaten by mosquitos. We spent most of our time rafting, but it was very tempting to want to just stay at Paw Paw's Place thanks to all the entertainment and the fantastic location. I won't hesitate to visit again.
Nice family friendly fun
Had a nice weekend away fun things to do rain or shine
Fantastic
Our family had a wonderful time at the cabin. It's clean nice and right on the water. We utilize their canoes in there ping-pong table and their kitchen and just relaxed and enjoyed the water. It's also close to the edge of Techny Springs so we went tubing. We look forward to coming again and staying
Hidden gem on a quiet river
The owners provided fantastic instructions on how to use all the amenities at the property. The dock was fantastic for boating, swimming, and just sitting to watch the jumping sturgeon. This property was exactly what I needed to be able to enjoy a relaxing Memorial Day weekend.
Relaxing at it's best.
This was one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever taken. The house is so cozy and soothing it makes you want to sit on the porch and enjoy the rocking chairs. There is a dock on the river that allows you to sit and watch the sturgeons jump out of the water and do belly flops, pure leisurely enjoyment . There is a tv and wifi, but we really felt no need of either, an old fashioned jigsaw puzzle provided the indoor entertainment. The decor in the house is absolutely a must see.
