Very nice stay, the property is very well maintained, the room was very clean. The room had a coffee maker a little refrigerator and a microwave. The bed was very comfortable.The Parking is right outside the house. The only drawback I would say is that if you stay in the first floor you will hear every footstep upstairs pretty loud.

Quaint and cozy house in a nice shady location. Remote check-in and self entry. No breakfast available but there was a kitchen and coffee in the room. We were on the main floor and when some guests gathered in the living room in the evening, we could hear everything for awhile.

Everything was extremely nice. Had plenty of room. Loved the little kitchenette and the antique furniture in the house. My only complaint was the shower. It could use a better shower head. Other than that, it was amazing. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property has a beautiful, peaceful vibe and lots of character, and the location is perfect for spending time in Mount Dora. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for our visit. We didn’t have any direct contact with the hosts, but everything was smooth and easy, and the stay felt relaxed and pleasant. We’d be happy to stay here again.

The property is decent and has A LOT of potential. The room was clean but kitchen area was in need of a deep cleaning. The property could use a lot of upgrades and overall maintenance. Kitchen cabinets coming off hinges, net screen on door was falling off, debris around property ( due to landscaping upgrades but still thought it could be neater). Nothing major but overall appeal was lack luster. It was fine for a couple nights but not sure I’d go out of my way to stay there again. Price was high for the quality but then again prices on everything are crazy.
