Mount Dora, a place that steals your heart. What a historic and special place, with large moss-draped oak trees and acres of beautifully landscaped grounds and to top it off, the mesmerizing Lakeside Inn build in 1883, What a timeless setting, a place where you feel like you are in the movies stepping back in time, the oldest continuously operating hotel in the state of Florida and the last of the grand victorian era hotels still remaining in Central Florida. Thank you for the beauty and the peace we found in you! The memories we made there are unforgettable and we will cherish them forever.

This time we had dinner elsewhere but their restaurant is great, noticed on previous visits. We'll have breakfast in the Beauclaire again tomorrow and I'm sure it will be as good as ever. As two seniors we appreciate that we were given a room with few steps to navigate.
