Excellent stay. The house is great full kitchen, linens, one master bed 2 nd floor, two on fist floor, plenty of parking, maybe half mile walk to town or less (easy walk). Download Freebee shuttle which is enclosed golf cart service. They work on tips Tim and Dale who picked us up were great. Never a wait. Highly recommend this place located near everything. Will stay again.

This is a great house! It has been completely renovated so while keeping the aesthetic appeal of its 1887 age, it feels like you are in a modern house with very comfortable amenities. The host greeted us upon arrival and made us feel welcome. Beds are comfy and the location is ideal. You could walk to downtown Mt Dora from this location. Front bedroom is a little noisy, so bring ear plugs and you’ll sleep fine. We enjoyed our stay at 1887 Royellou House!

This property has a great deal of character and history. It is exceptionally well prepared by the owner, spotlessly clean and every amenity you can think of is available for use. The location couldn't be better, being just a short walk into the town of Mount Dora. The house also has dedicated/private parking making staying there even easier! The owner's communication, prior to the stay, upon arrival and during the stay was outstanding and just right. We would definitley stay here again. A great place.

I loved the historic home and its location that enabled us to walk into town and to the park. Fun place to visit over the holidays because of the lights and shopping. The upstairs AC unit was not working but the host was prompt to get it working again. The beds were very comfortable. We love to cook and my only issue with the house was that pots and pans are very old and scratched up and cannot be be used safely. I did tell the owner about this.

Wonderful experience. The house was clean and inviting. We loved sitting on the front porch in the morning drinking coffee and in the evening drinking wine. It is a short walk to downtown that we could walk to go shopping or have a meal. Highly recommend this place.
