Guest house was perfect. Beautiful setting. Thoughtful touches. Bed was extremely comfortable! Very convenient to downtown Mount Dora. Neighborhood is one of the most beautiful in the city. Lake across the street (no direct guest access). Makes for a beautiful view driving in to your place.

The location is very quiet. It’s not very big but it has everything you need. There is no TV in the living-room. It’s in the bedroom. Had to bring a chair from the porch which was not too comfortable. The owners are very nice and responsive.

We take very thorough photos of our listing to be sure all expectations are clear. We will take it into consideration. If you had asked for a better chair we would have happily supplied it. The square footage is also posted. We hope to see you again in the future. Thank you for leaving the cottage in great condition.

The property has a great yard to sit out in. Right around the corner is a view of the lake. You're a very short drive to downtown, and there are lots of places to go in all directions. We'll be back again!

CLEAN & quiet cottage on lovely property. Cottage had everything that you could think of and it all worked! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only thing we missed was lake access for fishing and kayaking but that was just 10 minutes away in the beautiful town Mount Dora. Thank You. Ann & Bill

Thank you Anna for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We are in a residential neighborhood with private docks, however as you mentioned the public docks are only a mile away. We enjoyed hosting you and look forward to hopefully doing so again in the future.

Dora was a great host. The unit is centrally located very close to Mt. Dora. There are 2 window ac units with fans that cooled it well. We loved the well appointed kitchen. The toliet is very small/tight quarters. There is no lake access and no places to walk safely. Would stay here again without hesitation.

Quiet, Clean and Private Getaway

There was a bit of mix up at our arrival but our hosts were quick to fix it and make our stay enjoyable. The place is small but big enough for two friends with everything we could need. It is a modern, clean, quiet and a private location with outdoor areas we could use to sit back and enjoy the birds and breeze. They are within a few minutes drive to historic Mt. Dora. We could enjoy the town and then get away and relax. We will return in the future. Thanks!
