Hi there! I’m from the charming town of Mount Dora, FL.. I love spending time outdoors, whether it’s boating, walking, or just enjoying a peaceful afternoon on the back porch. I also enjoy cooking and spending time with my husband and our two children. I became a host because I love meeting new people and sharing the beauty of my hometown with others. There’s nothing quite like making someone’s stay memorable and seeing them enjoy all that Mount Dora has to offer!
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because of its quiet, peaceful feel. It’s the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, yet still close enough to everything you need. Plus, the proximity to the lake is a huge bonus – it’s so relaxing to be able to enjoy the water and nature right here. Whether it’s a morning stroll or a sunset view, the lake adds a special charm to the area that I really appreciate
