Property is great. Perfect for a couple or couple with one or two children. I say this because the bathroom is an on suite so if someone is sleeping on the fold out, they have to go through the master bedroom. Just something to be aware of.

Gem of a place

What a unique experience to enjoy the "Crowned Cottage". It was very charming, cozy, and restful. It is very clean and lots of options to enjoy the outside areas. We had great communication with the owner. The place is very centralized and easy to walk to several places of importance. It is a short drive to downtown but so easy. Highly recommend this as a great base to enjoy the many springs and trails of this area.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Hillman

Host profile image
I am a published artist, writer and photographer who adores all things vintage and historic. DeLand has my heart, and all of the offerings around it in central Florida are fantastic! The Crowned Cottage is my home away from home when it's not being shared with others, and I love it's quaintness and ideal location.

Why they chose this property

It is the perfect small historic cottage, in a most special town. Home to the beautiful Stetson University, the cottage allows you to walk downtown and enjoy the wonderful shops and restaurants, and also be close enough for other excursions such as Orlando, New Smyrna Beach and Daytona. While this area is well known for it's theme parks and attractions, there is so much more to explore! Central Florida is called "The Real Florida" because of its vast nature! There are more than 700 freshwater springs within it's boundaries. It is a kayaker's HEAVEN! During the winter months you can get up close and personal with the manatees that flock into Blue Springs Park which is just about 5 miles away. It is an experience like no other. If I am in town when you stay, inquire about my "Manatee Mingle" experience for two. I can provide the kayaks, and a manatee facts talk along with a champagne lunch! $150 per person.

What makes this property unique

In the heart of downtown! Peaceful and quaint! Nice front porch to have coffee in the morning, and table area in back yard to dine. Wonderful Bird watching in the back yard!
