Beautiful 3bed 2bath Mount Dora Charmer with Views of Lake Ola
About this space Step back in time in this Mount Dora home filled with the original charm and character of the 50’s! Wake up to birds singing & a breathtaking view of spring fed Lake Ola. This 3 bed 2 full bath home has all the original craftsmanship along with a Tennessee stone fireplace. Inspired by Mid century design with several pieces remaining from the original owner of 60 years. The back yard is a relaxing dream filled with incredible landscape including oak, powder puff, magnolia & tabulia trees. 🦋 Butterfly Cottage is a beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bath home with a views of Lake Ola from the living room and front bedroom. The home is filled with charm & character of the 50's&60's. I bought the home 2 years ago from the original owner who lived and raised her family there for over 60 years! I knew the home had to be someplace special and it certainly is! I chose to keep the floorpan and restore the integrity of the home by adding luxury vinyl flooring throughout and refinishing/updating the bathrooms. The cabinets in the kitchen are original cedar. I had them painted Jadeite color, a popular glass color used during that time. I believe every home has a story to tell and I love to bring that story to life! My daughter & I enjoyed living there so much! One of my favorite things was waking up to enjoy coffee in the living room chair while looking at Lake Ola & listening to the songbirds & wind chimes. The sunroom with the Tennessee stone fireplace was the room I fell in love with the most. I enjoyed many afternoon naps on that gold couch. That's where I noticed all the butterflies surrounding the gorgeous backyard. Hence the name of the home that I am thrilled to offer to travelers in and outside of Mount Dora. It’s in a perfect location only a 7 min drive to historic downtown Mount Dora. Close to Renningers, The Sydonie Mansion & many other wedding venues! Quick drive to Rock Springs, Wekiva Island & close to the 429 making it an easy commute to all of central Florida including the theme parks and the beaches! Come and relax while experiencing how the locals live in a private, peaceful setting with all of the amenities and comforts of home including a fully stocked kitchen along with clean fresh linen & towels!Guest access The entire home along with fully fenced .30 of an acre yard is available to my guests! Lake access available upon request. Other things to note I have two homes available right next to each other! Vincent & Butterfly Cottage can be combined for families or groups of friends traveling together! They are connected through the back gate. Please message me for more details!
The vacation home features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Beautiful stay.
Beautiful place to stay very comfortable. My second time getting this house.
Beautiful yard and view. Host is quick with communication. Property is quiet. This is an on older home with a few quirks, but that makes the charm. Enjoyed our stay and will return.
Really nice little place to stay. Clean and quiet. Host responsive to any questions. Would definitely stay again!

Felt Like Home!
What a wonderful experience it was staying at this beautiful home. The house felt so cozy and brought back wonderful memories of living in Florida. The home was very clean and inviting and Sarah was a wonderful and attentive host. There were a few activities we had planned that we decided to forego, just so we could spend more time relaxing at "home". We will definitely be back for another stay!
