What a view.

My friend and I stayed at Colleen and Don's cozy, comfortable lakefront home. They were gracious hosts and made us feel very welcomed. We enjoyed the large dock area, grill, and views of the lake and their beautiful yard. Hope to visit again in the Spring.

Cute house and amazing location

It was just me and my friend staying in this house in Mount Dora. This house was perfect location to the downtown area and all the little boutiques, shops and restaurants. Easy drive to other surrounding areas as well. The house was very clean and we had excellent communication with the owners! I would highly recommend this house!

We wish we could move here

Don and Colleen have a beautiful lake lot and we are lucky they share it! They allowed us to sip coffee, float, fish, kayak/row from their dock on beautiful Lake Saunders. Boat traffic was light and nights were quiet. Our trip reminded us of summer lake trips to Northern Wisconsin.

Great rental and hosts!

Upon arrival we were met by the owner Don who gave us a tour of the unit and the property. Cozy interior with comfortable beds. The dock and seating/grilling area on the lake were great for watching the sunset and wildlife. Location was perfect. Just 3 miles to Mount Dora. Will definitely stay here on our next visit. Thanks Don & Colleen!!

Serenity by the lake

The property was beautiful . The dock and the seatting area on the lake was wonderful. The apt was very nice and comfortable. Well stocked with ever thing we needed. Colleen and Don were great hosts. They know the area well. Location was perfect in between and very close to all the great places to see in the area.
