Top Lake Dora Hotel Reviews

The Citrus on the Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place"

Comfort Inn & Suites Tavares North

10/10 Excellent

"Good to stay"

Mount Dora Home: Private Pool & Tropical Bar!

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I stayed a few days. We’ve always loved Mount Dora and love going to the nearby springs. Our stay was wonderful. The kitchen is very large, fit with everything you could possibly need and more. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean and the backyard was lovely. Thank you for a great getaway!"

Canal front pool home to Dora Chain of Lakes

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check in and out. Had so much fun with fishing at the dock and swimming in the pool. The back yard is huge! Nice shade trees and my grandson loved the outdoor shower. We love going to the springs and this house is in the perfect spot for that. A short ride down the canal and you are at the lakes. Will book again if we go back to this area!"

Game Room Retreat • Fire Pit • 5 Min to Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Such a well thought out home. Everything we needed and more was provided. Loved the focus on family and child items, very family friendly. The house was very clean. The host was very attentive and responsive. The house is close to downtown and easy access to nearby cities of eustis and taveres. We had an amazing stay and highly recommend this house."

Waterfront Lake Dora Escape w/ Private Dock & Slip

8/10 Good

"Very nice home that was perfect for my wife and I along with our daughter, son in law and our grandsons (ages 11 and 9). My only complaint would be that that we were unaware of the dangers involved with being lakeside at Lake Dora. The lake is infested with alligators that made swimming, fishing or pulling a tube from the boat fool hardy at best. They were literally everywhere!Again, the house was really nice and the surrounding towns were beautiful... just wish I hadn't rented that pontoon for 3 days!"

Cozy & Stylish Apartment for 4 just 5 Minutes from Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This apartment is so cute and functional. The patio is private and was really nice to unwind in after a day out exploring. (The large fan really helped make it even more comfortable on hot nights) We loved this kind of attention to detail. There were labels in drawers and cabinets, which was helpful for put things back when we checked out. The little touches like snacks/water were really nice after a long drive. They even had a few extras in the bathroom (like toothbrushes/paste) just in case you forgot. The shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the shower also a plus if you don't want to bring your own. The best part...they are so responsive to you before booking and even after checking in. Example: The soap dispenser wasn't filled in the bathroom (a minor error). But within minutes of our discovery and contact with them, they had it solved! If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely be back. 5 stars doesn't seem like enough!"

Retreat Overlooking Lake Dora!

10/10 Excellent

"House was as advertised, everything was clean and tidy. Check in was very easy and when we did have a question before checking in, we had a very fast response. Great location, right near the lake, but also within walking distance of restaurants, best of both, we rented a pontoon boat, was able to access both lakes via the canal for fishing, our grandson loved it! Would definitely stay here again our next trip down to Tavares!"
