Our stay in Mt Dora

The small home with a huge back yard was simply perfect . Our hosts, Heather and Ken, were in constant communication with us to be sure our needs were met. The home was spotless, and very well supplied. A perfect location to walk into town and enjoy all the fine shops and restaurants. It was a 10 rated experience all around, and we hope to return next year.

Wonderful!!

The cottage is so wonderful, my sister-in-law and I each felt that we could live here happily! The oak trees are too amazing for words and Oak Tree Cottage has nestled under their branches since 1938. Clean, well appointed, inviting, comfortable...I could go on and on. No reservations in our recommendation of Oak Tree Cottage!

Charming and Immaculate Cottage

My husband and I travelled to Mt. Dora for the Renninger’s Antique Extravaganza and were thrilled to find this cottage so close to the venue.. The home was immaculate and lovingly restored and decorated. The hosts provided everything needed from coffee to laundry products. Communication was prompt and gracious. Thank you for a wonderful experience.. highly recommend!

The cottage was so well kept and equipped. Would’ve liked it a little bit closer to town. I don’t like a 10:00 checkout. 11:00 would be so much easier. Great neighborhood

Holiday family time

We loved the property and its location. It’s walkable to the old town area. We enjoyed the cute cottage and the amenities. The backyard would be more enjoyable if the grounds were primped a bit before guests arrive. We would recommend cleaning the outdoor chairs, table and sweeping the area. It was very dirty. I did that myself before our guests arrived to visit for a gift exchange. We lit the fire and enjoyed the warmth and beautiful weather. Overall our stay was delightful. Thank you, S & R

Perfect Cozy Cottage within Walking distance from town

The cottage is the perfect spot for a few friends to visit Mt. Dora. Heather has the place stocked to a thoughtful detail. Everything you need…nothing you don’t. The inside of the cottage is charming and a testament to good taste. Heather was so easy to work with and easy to reach with questions. The backyard with a fire pit and outdoor table is the perfect place to relax after a day or shopping and to enjoy any foods you pick up through the day. If you are healthy, the walk into town is easy. But the is plenty of parking downtown and you may want your car to load up with whatever fun treasures you find. Thank you Heather! 5 stars. Hands down.

Adorable Cottage in Mt. Dora

We recently had a 3 week stay at Oaktree Cottage. The beds and living room furniture were all very comfortable, which is important when you are staying for any length of time. The home is very well stocked with everything you will need. We were not able to use the beautiful backyard area due to the tree debris. We had some storms that went through and made a mess and when I asked about cleaning it, they were there that afternoon and cleaned, however more storms came through and made another mess. We loved being able to walk into town every day. We took advantage of the pickleball courts which are lit at night and the public swimming pool. Both are a little over 1/2- mile away in opposite directions. I would highly recommend Oaktree Cottage in Mount Dora.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello, I'm Heather! Love to be around people and enjoy traveling.

Why they chose this property

Oaktreecottage is a special place for me. The house was in very bad shape when I bought it but, it called us every time we walked by it. So the opportunity came and I decided to rescue it. Lots of love went into this place, it was remodeled to make everybody feel like home.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy a 1938 historic cottage with modern amenities. The air conditioned porch is the perfect spot to relax and the back yard is ideal to have that morning coffee under the shade of the trees.
Location, location, location...within walking distance to downtown but, far enough to enjoy the tranquility of the historic district.
