This was AMAZING! My sister and I took our Mother to Mount Dora her MOST favorite town in Fl. It was so MAGNIFICANT we didn't want to leave. We found ourselves living the best of the past with all the unique and memories of the good ole days that our Mother grew up in. And the candy that was so cleverly placed in the frig brought back the memories of our childhood. We will definitely be returning for multiple dates, and the next time would love to meet this absolutely beautiful soul named Liz who stopped at nothing to make such an incredible stay of beautiful memories with our Mother. We rate this place as a must Stay destination, because once you step in to the Wow cottage, time just stands still. Thank you for all the extra touches that made this so special.

This property is fun personified! If you are looking for a unique experience steeped in history and funky art, this is your cottage. The host, Liz, could not be more personable, welcoming and gracious. She is a tremendous ambassador for the town of Mt. Dora and makes you feel like family during your stay. 15/10! A definite future stay with more time to spend exploring the fabulous Mt. Dora!

The Wow Cottage definitely WOWED us. The cottage was immaculate inside and out and had many wonderful surprises waiting for us. We have stayed at other properties and by far this was the best experience we’ve had with Vrbo. I would highly recommend this property!! I can’t say enough about the hosts, they were amazing, they made you feel like you were part of their family. Jim & Mary

I could not have had a better experience with my stay. I would highly recommend The WOW cottage. Super cute, clean, great location. If forgot to pack something, I’m sure you can find a spare there. The personal touches exceed anything I’ve experienced anywhere else. Can’t wait to return.

Our stay at WOW Cottage started out wonderful before we even arrived in Mount Dora!! Liz and Lee shared so many useful tips for adding extra fun to our weekend there. We were able to add so many worthwhile things to our itinerary. The Cottage itself was beyond our expectations! It was like a hands on museum of so many artifacts and the like. Many brought back memories of yesteryear. To say too much more would ruin the surprise that awaits you, the next renter.

A month in Mt. Dora

We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful, quaint town of Mt. Dora. Walking to the town center was easy from our cottage. Our hosts were more than accommodating. We r visiting again next winter. We will be staying at their Modern Tree House property next year.
