We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and full of charm. It was the perfect size for two people—cozy yet spacious enough to feel completely comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, and the towels and linens were soft and high quality. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Maribel was a gracious and thoughtful host, even leaving us a bottle of wine and a lovely note to welcome us. Highly recommended!

Perfect weekend

The cottage was perfect for myself and granddaughters enjoying the Ren Fest and local shopping. We enjoyed the front porch and the kids loved the spacious yard. If you are looking for a a comfortable place for a smaller group, this is a great choice! Awesome communication with the owner who made everything easy and welcoming!

Absolutely GREAT STAY——terrific hosts!

Husband and I ( and our German Shepard Lola) wanted a quiet weekend away! This absolutely hit the mark! The cottage was PERFECTION! It is CLEAN and has everything visitors should need. Close to grocery store as well as well placed to see the sites…..or just relax. Did some great front porch sitting watching a rainstorm pass through. Host very communicative… not intrusive at all. The yard was great for Lola … she gives it 4 paws 🐾 up! We are looking forward to future stays! Best VRBO stay to date!!!!!

Great Experience with the Cottage

We spent 3 weeks here on business and I must say that everything was excellent. The location of the cottage is quite nearby to our destination. Having two rooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and living room such a perfect space for me and colleague. We are pleased of this house, neat and peaceful neighborhood. The host is incredibly awesome to communicate with. This place is highly recommended.

Quaint and a great location!

We needed a safe and comfortable spot with two or more beds and welcoming of our dog in the area and this fit the bill. The home was decorated in a fun way and had most of what you’d need for a short or long stay. Enjoyed listening to Friday’s football game down the street while playing chess on the porch. A quick walk down the street led to an awesome park with wood carvings that us adults enjoyed. Great non-congested area to stay if visiting Eustis or nearby areas.

The perfect Cozy place out of the city.

We did feel a Cabin like atmosphere that we were looking for! We did enjoy a nice fishing day close by and we did have plenty space to park two bass boats and trucks in the big backyard and front yard. The little cottage have two full bath (small but very funtional). Sparkling clean place! No that much decor, that I like (very simple). The master bedroom has a great bed, super comfortable! We will be back soon!

Gorgeous location

This is a sweet little cottage but truly, only adequate for two adults. Interior seating area is quite limited and the space is open directly to the kitchen divided by a dining table that seats four. We loved having early morning coffee on the porch; with the fenced in yard my dog was engaged in watching the community of kitties living in the field across the street. There are any number of gorgeous parks and places to walk. The town of Mt Dora is fun if a little touristy. The cottage itself was immaculate and adequately equipped for making coffee and casual meals. Mari, the owner/manager, was exceptionally kind and helpful

Wonderful Service

Maribel really goes above and beyond. First off she does such a great job cleaning. I could eat off the floor there! She was so sweet and helpful when we drive from NC to FL with our family to stay for the weekend for a dog event my husband was competing in. She left us wine, a nice note, some snacks and really paid attention to detail in the home. There were wash rags, a lot of towels, blankets, soap, shampoo, conditioner. She messaged us to see how our first night went and if we needed anything which was so thoughtful. Her rate is very reasonable too and her is very open with her pet policy. Most people charge an arm and a leg and have a lot of rules for size of pet but she is so flexible, you just have to talk to her. She sends you things to do and places to eat in the area. There’s a nice park in walking distance if you have kids too, among other things. I would totally stay here again!

Perfectly Lovely!

Located far from the hubbub of big towns, noise and Micky, in a small village neighborhood with no traffic or noise. The home is sparkly clean and very comfortable with a king in one bedroom (with it's own bathroom) and what looks like a double or queen and a single in the other bedroom. Stocked with stuff you need but haven't had time yet to get to the store yet, like coffee, sugar, salt, oil, papar towels, soap and the like. Linens and towels were great. Big back yard for kids to run off some energy, nice glass chess board on the porch for the adults to kick back with. Just a real nice home. Now, why Umatilla?? For us, it was to visit different springs. We visited Kelly State Park. You must do this. Just before you enter the park stop and rent an innertube to float. DO NOT BLOW THIS OFF. So much fun, easy, safe and delightful. Even babys sitting in parents laps in a tube, and all sorts of youngsters and oldsters enjoying. Also swam at Alexander Recreational area and Wekiwa State Park. We also canoed and paddleboarded at Silver Springs Park . We also drove some of the dirt roads in the Ocola National Forest, Swam with Manatee in Crystal River (one even reached out and kissed my grandaughter!) and we swam in the Gulf and in the Atlantic. This VRBO is an excellent base from which to do all this and probably more...but we ran out of time. Loved it.

Maribel was very sweet. She responded quickly to questions before and during our stay. We received a list of area restaurants and activities in the area which was helpful. The cottage was cozy and inviting. We were so happy our beagle pups could stay with us. Our 25 pound dogs could squeeze through the fence but it would be a perfect fenced in yard for larger dogs. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and just a few minute walk to a park. I had to work from the cottage and the internet was fast and reliable. We would definitely stay here again.

This home was absolutely perfect! Super cute and wonderfully decorated — it instantly felt like home. Everything was spotless, and the fenced-in property gave us both privacy and peace of mind. The location is right in the heart of Umatilla, which made it easy to get around and enjoy the area. Communication with the host was a 10/10 — quick, friendly, and so accommodating. I can’t recommend this place enough and would definitely stay here again!

Love for family, nature, animals, sports, and adventurous trips that allow me to learn about new cultures. Restoring this quaint little Cottage and transforming it into a vacation retreat has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Knowing that these spaces bring joy and offer meaningful experiences to our guests fills my heart.

As a devoted business development specialist, I’m passionate about helping individuals and businesses grow and thrive, always guided by my four fundamental points for a fulfilling life. This little space is a reflection of this passion an invitation to create memories and embrace the beauty of life : )

What makes this property unique

... more than just a place to stay, it’s a living piece of history with modern comfort! Instead of letting it fade away, we decided to restore it little by little, with all the love and care it deserves. In a world where so much is disposable, we wanted to rescue and honor a little magical place, filled with memories, hard work, and heart. Every corner of this small retreat tells a story, and we’re so happy to share that with you.
