Enjoyable stay near Mt Dora
We visited the Mt Dora area for wedding, and this property was great for our multi-family group. We loved that the bedrooms were on the main floor with the kitchen, dining, and living area in the basement with beautiful views of the lake. Some enjoyed the paddle board and kayak while others relaxed on the patio area. My kids enjoyed seeing different birds and fish in the area. The property is about 10 minutes from Mt Dora. The Gilbert park playground and nearby boardwalk were so good we visited twice during our short stay! Thanks for letting us make ourselves at home in your home for a few days!

A great retreat with amazing views
Beautiful well appointed property. House is very large accommodating 5 adults very comfortably. The dog friendly aspect was a huge bonus. The dog run on the side yard was also a big bonus. Nice car port to park under, fancy Keurig Coffee maker (good to know this before you arrive) loved the gas stove and well set up kitchen along with the gas grill outside. Cannot say enough nice things about this property, we loved it and hope to return during Mt. Dora's off season (if there is such a thing).
