Top Lake Saunders Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Tavares North

8/10 Good

"There breakfast area is really nice!"

Lakeside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"For an Historic older Hotel the property was charming and amazing, clean, and the Staff was amazing we will be coming back."

The Citrus on the Lake

8/10 Good

"Room nad bathroom were clean, large and spacious, big shower, mini fridge was good size as well. The A/C unit was too small for the room size, took 5-6 hours to reach a comfortable temperature. There was no coffee maker, had to go down to lobby and wait in line for a small Keurig cup, more efficient to have these in each room I would believe."

Sunrise to Sunset on private 900 sq ft dock with BBQ!

8/10 Good

"Everything was great only thing i would change would be getting curtains to block out some of the sunlight"

European meets Southern Charm in this 3 Bedroom Get Away in Mount Dora

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place we will book again if available!"

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!"

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!"
