Small but mighty! This 450 square foot cottage with its heart pine vaulted ceiling and its 12 by 24 foot porch has a surprisingly spacious feel and is loaded with country charm. Located on the back of our five acre country property, the cottage offers a safe, quiet environment for your stay in Central Florida. The cities of Mount Dora and Eustis are both just five miles away with their quaint shopping areas and lakeside parks. Orlando with its theme parks, ocean beaches and the gulf coast are all easily accessed .
Originally built in 1941 for use as a milk barn, the cottage has recently been completely rebuilt and reinvented as a vacation rental. A great deal of thought and effort has gone into the design and use of the available space. The use of a drop leaf table and folding chairs for interior dining and a queen size Murphy bed for sleeping, gives the central living space and open, uncluttered feel. A comfortable couch, end tables,recliner, and entertainment center with flat screen tv complete the main living area. Bright colorful accessories and decor have been used through the cottage
The kitchen has everything you need for meal preparation. The granite counter tops and tile back splash make clean up easy, The under counter cabinets contain several drawers as well as shelf space. Wall mounted shelves house a microwave, pots and pans and dishes. A stove, refrigerator and double sink complete the kitchen A coffee pot, toaster, can opener and other kitchen essentials are provided.
The bathroom may be compact but it contains all the necessities plus a lot more. Besides the toilet, vanity, medicine cabinet and shower, the bathroom contains a stack washer and dryer, a three drawer cabinet with a granite top for folding clothes, a shelf for laundry supplies, a bar for hanging clothes and a seven foot tall pantry cabinet for linens or food storage.
The porch is what makes this a very special property. The hand crafted rustic railings, the wing and rockers, the antique dining table and the colorful artwork all work together to create an outdoor living space that is both welcoming and comfortable.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Adorable renovated Milk Barn!!!
This cottage was a perfect place to stay for my travel nursing assignment! Close enough to downtown Mount Dora, but still in the country. Quiet, clean and safe! The owners, Jim and Beth are steps away in the main house and are kind, welcoming and make you feel at home while away!

Charming cottage. The porch is perfect for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. A feeling of being off by yourself in the woods, yet the hosts were close at hand.

Lovely, quaint, and friendly
It's beautifully located off the beaten path. Tranquil nature, with plenty of room for our puppers to run and play! Not to mention, we liked Mrs. Byrd so much, we decided to stay another month! Thank you do much! God bless!
