Welcome to Daybook Cottage. My distinctive 1940s cottage is nestled in the heart of the Nature Coast in Yankeetown, Florida. This historical home is freshly renovated with careful attention to detail. While taking care to preserve its historical features, we have provided modern amenities and décor to offer you an authentic experience alongside your relaxing getaway.

My dream for this home began to take shape through my passion for writing. As a storyteller and the author of Daybook.blog, I know the importance of candor and sincerity. I have a positive outlook on life and a desire to inspire others to live their best lives. My 1940s cottage is an extension of my life adventure that I’m thrilled to share with you. Here is just a taste of what you’ll experience at Daybook Cottage.

This charming 2-bedroom 1 bathroom home comfortably sleeps up to three guests. The two bedrooms feature a plush queen-size bed and a twin-size bed, both with crisp, clean linens. The bathroom has a vintage clawfoot tub with a shower attachment and an original iron sink for a unique experience. I share the experience of living in a home from the 1940s without leaving behind the comforts we all love, appreciate, and enjoy.

The fully equipped kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, solid surface countertops, and all the cookware and dishes you'll need for preparing meals during your stay. Two dining areas are provided. One is nestled in the kitchen beside one of the original awning-wrapped cottage windows while another is inside the sunroom where summer breezes and plenty of Florida sun add to any meal.

The living area is open with wood floors, sunny windows, the original limestone fireplace, and plenty of comfortable seating. The living area opens into the kitchen which allows for easy living and interaction. I personally collected and decorated the interior with vintage and antique furnishings and an occasional modern accessory. You will experience historical living while feeling right at home.

Daybook Cottage has been beautifully and carefully landscaped using plants native to this Florida area. Everything was chosen with nature in mind. The plants you see fit naturally into the landscape and lend themselves to pollinators and birds of all kinds. The back of the home provides a full-size deck with seating inside a fenced backyard. You can expect privacy and security during your stay.

My home is located just a short drive from the Gulf of Mexico and several nature preserves, making this the perfect getaway for those seeking outdoor adventures. Whether you're swimming with the manatee, fishing, kayaking, boating, birdwatching, or catching a nightly sunset at “the end of the road” Daybook Cottage and the Nature Coast offer nearby, endless opportunities to explore. The area also offers antiquing, biking, and plenty of unique dining experiences for a day of relaxation.
