  • Great place under the oaks!

    5/5

    We spent 10 days in this lovely home. It is roomy, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Kitchen is stocked with with spices, sauces, sugar, flour and all appliances needed to prepare a gourmet meal! Communication was excellent. TV reception was limited, but we supplemented by streaming on our tablets. We would definitely stay here again.

  • Great Stay

    5/5

    This property met all my expectations and more. The bedrooms are actually bigger than they appear online. The house was very clean and generously stocked with everything we needed, and a lot of things we didn't use but were nice to know were there in case we needed them. Communication with the management was very good. The living spaces were so comfortable to be in, we hardly left the house. We would definitely stay here again.

  • Wonderful property

    5/5

    We stayed at this location for two weeks and absolutely loved our time there. Its location was ideal as our trip included stops in St. Augustine, Orlando and of course Mt. Dora. The house was clean and prepped for our stay. The bedrooms were big and nicely decorated. The common space was also immaculate and comfortable. Cannot recommend the house more.

  • Perfect Family Gathering Home

    5/5

    This property was cozy, comfortable, clean, quiet and overall perfect for our family. The kitchen was well stocked. We cooked and grilled our meals. We look forward to more vacations there as we have family nearby. Also, the hostess was lovely and was an excellent communicator.

  • Sanctuary for Sanity

    5/5

    I was in Mt Dora dealing with family affairs and needed a peaceful place to stay to gather my thoughts. From the moment I walked in, I knew this was the perfect spot. From the charming decor, cleanliness, dedicated workspace, WiFi, to the thoughtfully stocked coffee and tea bar, this hidden gem was exceptional. I would gladly come back & sip my coffee in the cozy Florida room. Absolute zen!
