We were so happy to stay at this beautiful, cute, quaint, little cabin. It really was a perfect place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We always stay in Mount Dora, but now we would definitely be including this place to our yearly anniversary tradition of trips. Thank you again for allowing us to stay here. I hope we can come back and make so many more memories!

We had the pleasure of meeting our host, Bob and his sister Carol. They are the most welcoming and kind people you could ever hope to host a VRBO stay. The Wilderness Cabin has a rustic cabin Vibe but with modern and very comfortable amenities. We spent most of our time outside on the deck and gazebo where we could enjoy the water front view.

Amazing Lake Cabin definitely magical!!!

The cabin was amazing!!! Everything you need is right there. If you don’t want to leave you don’t have too plenty of DoorDash and Uber eats in the area. We loved it so much we stayed an extra day!! The family that owns the property are amazing and accommodating!! We paddle boarded and kayaked the whole time!!! We will definitely be back!!! The photos of the place do not do it justice. It truly is magical.

Wilderness Cabin

Myself and 3 teen boys who LOVE to fish stayed in the cabin for 5 nights. We had a wonderful stay! The cabin is cute as can be, sparkling clean, and has everything you need! Beds are comfortable and pull-out bed is great for kids. Everything seemed very thoughtfully done. Nice yard with fire pit an dock. It is exactly as pictured. The only thing that would have made if more perfect was if there were a fishing boat available. We visited from California just for the boys to fish. We all had a great stay!

The yard and cabin itself was absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. The minute we pulled up, we were so happy to have chosen this cabin for our stay. The view of Lake Harris couldn’t get any better from the back yard! The inside of the cabin reflected the outside, very neat, clean, cozy, and well stocked. You felt at home and comfortable. The gift basket for the kids and our pup was also a nice touch of hospitality. The kitchen was fully stocked and had cooking utensils, a microwave, a fridge, and a small stove top for cooking. As well as a grill outside. And we were lucky enough to have met and chatted with Melanie and Bob (the hosts) who were beyond courteous and willing to help with any issues or questions. We also brought our boat and were able to park it on the lot next door to our cabin which was super safe, secure, and easy to get in and out of. 10/10! We will be back in April for my son’s next fishing tournament!
