Quiet and peaceful yet walk to Charming Downtown MT. Dora

This unique property is at the end of E. 5th Ave in a quiet neighborhood with a conservation area on one side and Lake in the back. It is in a quiet neighborhood yet walking distance to Mt. Dora with all of its quaint shops, restaurants and activities. There is always something going on in Mt. Dora and you can get a complete list of activities by googling Mt. Dora on the internet. The property is .8 miles to Downtown Donnelly Park
The Uptown Nature Retreat is accessed on the left side of the house next to the Conservation area with lots of butterflies and birds. As you walk into the house you are in the living room with dining area and access to the screened in back porch. The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of counter space and a counter seating area for dining. The livIng room has a large screen TV with a DVD, Netflix and Amazon Prime. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, full bath and a sitting area with TV. A second bedroom has twin beds and it’s own full bath with shower and separate door to the outside.
The large back porch overlooks a huge fenced in yard overlooking Lake Franklin and is a great place to relax in the morning with a cup of tea or coffee or have a cocktail in the afternoon. The house is shaded by large oak trees that keep the house cool and comfy. A washer and dryer is also available for your use.
Lake Franklin is a private lake and a Great Lake to fish or canoe or kayak in. I don’t have kayaks at this time but feel free to bring your own.
We love pets that are well behaved and house trained and charge 25$ per pet per stay.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Limited housekeeping is available.

Our new favorite place to stay in Mt. Dora

This property is lovely, both inside and outside. We loved sitting on the back porch and watching all of the wildlife. It was close enough to town to walk, but we enjoyed taking the free shuttle ride too. We plan to come stay again very soon!

This charming home is located on a beautiful lake with lots of oak trees and Spanish moss. Jamiee’s Gardens are beautiful! You can tell she puts a lot of love and hard work into her yard. The bird feeders brought all kinds of colorful songbirds to visit. My grandson loved watching them. The house was clean OK and cozy and had all the amenities we needed. The location was so convenient to Down town Mt Dora! thank you, Jamiee for having us, we hope to come back next December and see the Holiday lights again!
