    Photo Album

    Catherine's Bedroom.  New Queen sized bed (very comfortable!), private bath, cable, VCR,
DVD player, wireless internet, comfy chair, writing desk.  A wonderful place to rest, relax,
work, or use as a base of operations.David's Bedroom.  Access to the balcony.  Very comfortable.  Queen size bed, cable, VCR,
DVD, writing desk, wireless internet, microwave, mini-refrigerator.  When the room is available, the owner loves to spend the night here working on his laptop late at night or
having his coffee on the balcony in the morning.  But if you're here, he goes back to 
his own room and leaves it all to you.
    Living Room.  A large, spacious room where many wonderful parties have been held.  Look through the front windows and you'll see the 400-year-old live oak which gave Great Oaks Plantation its name.Spiral Staircase to Your Room.  There is so much more you're not seeing, including the warm, cozy Library filled with historic treasures, where you can read a book or watch TV, the dining room, solarium, and the beautiful grounds where you can go for a stroll.
