Kent’s Airbnb Review
“Quite simply, one of our favorite AirBnB stays of all time. This little yellow cottage felt like home during our stay, and we missed it before we even left. From the sun-drenched porch to the cozy living space inside, this gem has so many options to sit and read (or work, as the case may be). The shorebird wall art, local maps in various forms and antiques are completely charming – demonstrating the care and attention devoted to making this a truly special place to stay. The host, John is friendly and kind, and even helped us check in early on our arrival day! We loved everything about this space and wished we could truly stop time there.”
Lora’s VRBO Review
“A pause in time. We came to Florida for a vacation from Ohio winter, and what we got was an escape from the modern world. Yankeetown seems to be stuck in a bygone era and this delightful little cottage maintains that sensation inside and out. The peaceful feel of ‘Old Florida’ is preserved in Yankeetown, from the quaint depression era cottages, to the moss draped trees that canopy the quiet roadways throughout the community. It provided a perfect place for bike rides, a walk along the river, or even a special evening out at the Black Water Restaurant, which is conveniently tucked away in every way; sunny, clean, safe and comfortable. The owners were so accommodating and friendly, and available whenever we needed them, which was not often. It felt like home from the moment we stepped in and if the ‘stop time’ switch in the bedroom had actually worked, the ritual and responsibilities of our regular life would still be awaiting us in Ohio! Great memories were made and we look forward to a return visit one day. Highly recommend Daybook Cottage!”
