Excellent stay. The house is great full kitchen, linens, one master bed 2 nd floor, two on fist floor, plenty of parking, maybe half mile walk to town or less (easy walk). Download Freebee shuttle which is enclosed golf cart service. They work on tips Tim and Dale who picked us up were great. Never a wait. Highly recommend this place located near everything.

This beautiful home built in 1887 is such a cool place to stay if you’re visiting Mount Dora! Conveniently located to downtown so you can walk to everything if you like. Beautiful front porch makes for great people watching as well, as the home faces a main thoroughfare. The host has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable, from plenty of surge protectors to charge all of your devices, hooks on the back of every door, extra blankets, an Amazon Echo device to play music, and checking in and out was an absolute breeze. Stop looking and book 1887 Royellou!
