Loved the lake, would recommend to everyone. The sunsets made each day special because they were all different.The cottage was just as pictures show and beds were very comfortable, loved the antique furniture.Mt. Dora was a great place a spend the day shopping, walking, great places to eat, setting at the park watching the plane leaving and returning, and just enjoying your day. The area of cottage, to me, was very convent to anything you would want or need. I am looking forward to December and January.Don and Colleen were great host, they live on the property but we never felt uncomfortable and most of the time never knew they were there. Like i said were renting again, and I cant wait to go back. Loved it.

Owner's Response:

Thank You, we are glad you enjoyed your stay! Don and I are constantly upgrading the property to provide for the comfort and enjoyment of our guests. I love to work in the yard and decorate so it is constantly evolving. We look forward sharing our little piece of heaven with you again and with new friends we will meet. It looks like this winter is going to be a warm one. It's a glorious day with sunshine and in the upper 70's! The lake is sparkling like diamonds. Have a blessed 2017! Sincerely, Colleen

Great Vacation Rental

The great asset to this cottage is the location. Being on the lake makes such a huge difference to us. It is a beautiful spot and much peace and relaxation was spent on the dock. The bungalow is convenient to golf courses, antiquing, and wonderful restaurants. Don and Colleen are gracious hosts and made our stay most enjoyable. We definitely plan to visit this property our next visit to this area!

thanks so much for your kind words. De Colores

Don and Colleen made us feel at home during our February stay in their comfortable cottage on Lake Saunders. The house, which is adjacent to the owners' residence, is fully furnished and everything was as advertised. The house was quiet, private, with ample room inside and a large, weatherized dining porch with a view of the lovely lawn and lake. Everything we needed was readily accessible in and around the house. The gazebo at the end of the dock was a delightful place to dine, drink or watch the flight of water fowl. Fish swam by to see if anglers were interested. Don was extremely responsive to our questions and patiently helped us solve a few mysteries in operating the excellent high definition TV/DVD/DVR setup. Colleen offered her umbrella during a rain storm and tips on classes at the nearby YMCA, which we joined during our stay. In addition, we found many good choices among a large variety of local restaurants (Thai Jasmine, Tiki West, Mellow Mushroom pizza, and Sonny's BBQ were favorites), stores big and small, including two Publix groceries, Kohl's, Target, and Wal-Mart, and services -- even a major hospital, which we fortunately didn't need. (As owners of a 3-story town house, we were thrilled with 30 days of one-floor living!) The home is convenient to most everything locally (Mount Dora was a favorite for shops, restaurants, art fair, music, etc.) and an hour from museums and other features in Orlando.

Owner's Response:

Thank you so very much. We hope to see you again soon.

Highly Recommend
