Enjoyed our stay on the lake comfortably with 7 adults. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The screened porch was enjoyed by all at anytime of the day or night. Centrally located for travel to bike fest. Great place!

Thank you so much! You and your family are always welcome back!!!
We had a wonderful stay at the Lake Dora Hideaway. The house was perfect for our "friends reunion". The house was clean, with a well furnished kitchen, and bathrooms, and comfortable beds. The location was great for going to downtown Tavares and Mt Dora, for night life, entertainment, dining and a nearby grocery store. The best part was sitting out side on the screened lanai looking over the water while enjoying our morning coffee, and evening cocktails. The host was very prompt answering questions. It was so comfortable and relaxing, we hope to be back next year for your reunion. Thank you Jennifer!
