The Yearling Cabins are somewhat remote. I planned my stay around a guided tour at the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings State park and dining at the Yearling Restaurant.

It was really nice staff was incredible will stay there again in the future
We loved our stay at Yearling - we only wished we could have stayed longer. The history was amazing. The restaurant was so good. I loved the camp fire. The hostess was too kind to us. When we return next year we hope to stay again.
Our cabin was cute. Bed was comfortable. Everyone was very nice. Caught up on much needed sleep & rest, after hubby being in hospital for 2 weeks. Quiet & peaceful.

Absolutely quaint comfortable fully equipped cabin. Location perfect for experiencing “old Florida “ and the two nearby State Parks. People were great and the restaurant was excellent as well. Great experience.
Quaint cabins very small but expected that. Very clean. Restaurant food was good, cocktails a little pricey. All staff were welcoming, kind and very helpful. There isn't much nearby so be prepared. There was a refrigerator and microwave. 2 cups for coffee no glasses. Tv worked great. Down side no breakfast offered so had to travel. Lauri our dinner server was excellent!!!!
I would stay again if had to stay on the area.

It was a very good stay. Comfortable bed, quiet room, and it’s convenient to have the restaurant next door. My only complaints are that the tile floor in the room was swept, but needs mopping and the shower head needs replacing. The sprayer doesn’t spray out of the middle, just the sides.
Loved the history surrounding the area and the great restaurant
