Family-Girls weekend

Myself, my 3 daughters and 2 granddaughters absolutely loved the house! Walking distance to Mount Dora shops. We didn’t use our cars during our 2 night /3 day stay. We loved the history of the house. We would book again!

Girlfriends weekend retreat

The property is absolutely charming and we really enjoyed spending time on the front porch. The layout of the house was great for the six of us and had all the amenities you would need and also immaculately clean. Great location, easy walk to downtown and a 5 minute drive to Renninger's flea market & antique center. James is a wonderful host and we would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely perfect

Words can not express enough how wonderful our stay was in this fabulous home. The home is absolutely perfect in every way possible down to the generosity and friendliness of the owners. They went above and beyond to make sure how stay was perfect and succeeded. The house is gorgeous and spent most of our time on the front porch but every aspect of this home is perfect. Within walking distance to downtown Mt Dora and close to everything else you could possibly need. Already looking forward to booking the house again as it is now our place to stay for our girls shopping getaway. Thank you so much for the fabulous stay and being so gracious with everything we needed.

5 out of 5 - Loved our stay

Overall, 5 out of 5 stars. We absolutely loved our stay. Here are the categories we wanted to highlight. Location: conveniently located near downtown Mt Dora- easy walk to morning coffee, shopping and dining. Another great perk is if you want to venture into Orlando for Disney, Universal, etc, it was a quick 45 minute drive. Enjoy all Orlando has to offer then come back to a quaint little town, away from the chaos and relax at the end of a long day. Accommodations: very comfortable. Nest-like thermostat keep the AC nice and cool for the Florida heat. All the rooms were very comfortable. The mattresses were amazing, great pillows and upgraded linens for the beds and bathrooms. Each room had TVs with access to cable and streaming services. WiFi was great for checking work emails and getting a little work done. The kitchen was outfitted with all we needed and a nice kettle to have our evening tea. There was also a washing machine and dryer so we were able to do all of our wash and come home with clean clothes. There was plenty of parking and a great front porch and balcony off the upstairs room. We really loved this home and the attention to detail the owners put in to making their guests feel comfortable.

Extraordinary home

Six of us had a wonderful stay at this home. The first thing that you notice is that everything has been modernized and tastefully decorated. The kitchen has plenty of dishes and cooking tools, a selection of coffee and teas, and a good ice maker. All the rooms are spacious, and everything is spotless. It IS on a pretty main street so there are the inevitable loud music playing vehicles driving by at times. It was nice to all sit on the front porch and chat in the mornings and we enjoyed our stay very much.
