The place is nice, clean and comfortable. The hosts have ensured we had everything needed for our stay. The property is near my parents house, so it is now our go to place when we come visit.
This was our second time coming to stay at this property and we will definitely be returning everytime we come to Florida if possible. We didn't stay for many days but it was fun and peaceful regardless. Kinda wish we stayed longer simply because of how homey it feels to stay at this property. Bill and Betty are great hosts and have everything you need for your stay.
I came for some much needed respite time off. I couldn’t have found a better place to stay. Very friendly and helpful owners. Just all around an excellent stay
This property an owners are a dream team for business or vacation. Located just blocks from downtown an lake Dora making it a great morning or evening walk or stroll. The appartment is very clean an supplied. I have stayed there twice an looking forward to my next stay in Nov.
This was by far the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed at for the money. The location was private and safe, and the pricing was better than most local hotels. On top of that the owners let us check in early so we could rest. They answered every question we had in a timely manner. I could not recommend this place enough.
Delightful rental, wonderful owners. Great location in proximity to the lake & entertainment. Clean, plenty of amenities and extremely easy from check in to check out. Can't wait to return!
We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage. It was perfect for two adults for a relaxing getaway. We will definitely stay again if we have the opportunity.
The Fox Haven Cottage had everything we needed for our weekend adventure: nice bathroom, comfortable bed, stocked kitchen tools, grill, and washer/dryer.
Second year to the renfair nearby and as always fox haven cottage is such a perfect little spot for me and my friends to relax and unwind from the full days of walking.
The cottage is adorable. Bill and Betty did an awesome renovating the cottage. The cottage is super clean. The shower is huge and well designed. My daughter and I met Betty. Betty was friendly and welcoming. Bill is friendly and quiet. I highly recommend this location for your stay. We will be back.
The property was very homey and comfortable as well as the surroundings area. It was clean and had everything we needed already in there. We felt very safe and welcomed we honestly can't wait to come back next year. I 110% recommend staying here.
The cottage was wonderful. Clean and so well stocked with everything you need. Bill and Betty were perfect hosts. When we travel to Florida again, we will plan on staying here.
Cottage was just as described! Very convenient to everything. Host communication was exceptional, very responsive. The best was the screened in porch area, my cousin and I enjoyed that the most. Would definitely stay here again.
Everything you need is there, great location. A walk to the lake, 15 minute drive to mnt dora. Good neighborhood. The couch is a good size for children, but I don’t know about adults.
We had restful sleep in a clean, comfortable, and well appointed space for a weekend. Teen sporting events brought us to the area and we enjoyed being walking distance to the boat docks and restaurants in Tavares. Great location for a longer stay if you wanted home base for an Orlando area trip to be in a quiet town.
We enjoyed our two week stay at this comfortable cottage. Bill and Betty were gracious hosts. The screened in space provided a great area to enjoy the nice weather and also to read. The hosts have done a lovely job with the bathroom; great lighting and nice shower. I loved having access to a washer and dryer.

About the host
Hosted by Bill Ainslie
My wife and I, along with our two boys moved to Florida from Upstate NY in 1983 and bought this home in 1984. Besides the main house, where we now reside as empty nesters, there is one upstairs apartment and the cottage. My wife's mother and father lived in the cottage until her dad passed away and her mother moved into an ALF in 2014, which left the cottage empty. We have had the apartment completely remodeled which is now being offered as a vacation rental.
Why they chose this property
We're located on a quiet street that is walking distance to the downtown area and it's many restaurants and activities. A short drive and you're in Mount Dora, Eustis, Leesburg and The Villages. We're aprox. an hour drive to all the Orlando attractions and Daytona Beach.
What makes this property unique
The area has that small town feeling, but an easy drive to all that Central Florida has to offer.
