Coziest Cottage!

Our stay here was so very relaxing. The space was lovely; clean and beautifully decorated. It had most amenities and an excellent host who provided anything you needed. It was well located within a short walking distance from downtown so we walked everyday. It is on my list of favorite places to stay again.

This is a great location 4 blocks from downtown Mt. Dora. The neighborhood is just lovely and quite. I took walks every morning and felt safe at all times.

Cottage was clean and roomy. My only suggestion would be curtains for the bedroom windows to block the lights from outside. Other than that, it was perfection.
