The cottage was as described, and it was easy to find. It was also very close to everything, such as food, shopping, parks, and downtown Mt. Dora. The property is very pretty with a great view on the lake, and a nice dock with seating areas. We enjoyed sitting in front of the lake drinking wine at the end of the day. Very relaxing. It is extremely clean and has all necessary items to make you feel at home. We slept on the King bed, and it is probably the best bed we've slept on in any bnb we've stayed in! We would definitely stay again.

We spent a month at Bobbi's place this spring and could not have been happier! The grounds are immaculate, the dock is so peaceful and serene, and the cabin has everything you need for a fantastic stay. Bobbi's communication was great. p.s. Lightning, you are a bad-a$$ kitty--stay safe in paradise!

Perfect For Mt. Dora Getaway

Very nice lake property close to Mt. Dora. Must like cats as the cat definitely knows when you arrive or go down to the lake. It purrs as soon as you go outside to sit on the porch. Place was clean and owner was very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Bobbi Bain

Host profile image
I grew up in Florida and fell in love with Mt Dora when we moved to the area 7 years ago. As a local Realtor, I have a natural love for real estate! My husband is a touring musician, entertainer and pretty much travels for a living. Getting into Vacation rentals was a natural fit for both of us! We love to entertain and make our guests comfortable!

Why they chose this property

When this property became available in the Spring of 2019, we were immediately intrigued! We live in the area and have looked at homes on this lake for sometime. What an incredible opportunity to share this unique property and the joy of Lake Life with others! On over 2 acres, there is plenty of room to for multiple vacationers to get away.

What makes this property unique

Who wouldn’t want to stay on a beautiful spring fed private lake just a short drive from downtown Mt Dora!! Better yet, bring your friends and family! With a total of 4 different homes, we have the ability to sleep up to 18 guests! This is the perfect place for a family reunion, team retreat, or even a small wedding!
