The Flowers House - Downtown Historic Home in the Heart of Mount Dora

Welcome to The Flowers House, a remarkable slice of history located in the vibrant community of Mount Dora!

The Flowers House is equipped with modern amenities while maintaining its historical charm.

The area boasts an impressive array of restaurants offering diverse cuisines ranging from Asian to Italian and everything in between. Don’t miss out on fine dining experiences like 1921 and Pisces Rising, both of which promise incredible meals and lovely ambiance.

Revel in the beauty of Mount Dora's nature, too! Explore the nearby parks, take a leisurely walk to Lake Dora for sunset views, or embark on an adventure in the surrounding natural landscape filled with wildlife, including cardinals and alligators. The adventurous can rent kayaks, bicycles, or even unique catamarans to explore the crystal-clear waters of the area.

Great house and location for ‘Light Up Mt. Dora’ festivities. Just a couple of blocks from the main town area, so no driving necessary once parked at the house. Wonderful screened in front porch and a lovely fire pit area in the backyard. We will return to the beautiful Flowers House.

Wonderful!

This was our second opportunity to enjoy The Flowers House and we thoroughly enjoyed both stays! Perfect location for restaurants and shops. There were three women and three girls with plenty of space for all including the hair and makeup drama that goes with a crowd like that! Exceptionally clean, we felt safe, and owners responded immediately to any questions we had. We are looking forward to our next stay! Thank you Pam for sharing your lovely hpme!

Celebrating 325 years of life. ( 5 birthdays)

Amazing VRBO! This was our second stay at the Flowers House and certainly not our last. The common areas are pleasingly and comfortably furnished (and equipped) with everything that we needed to relax and celebrate. Tastefully decorated large bedrooms and bathrooms with all the necessities. The only problem was deciding where to gather.... The front porch, the seats around the fire pit, the large dining room table, or the comfy sofas!!! During our 3 days we had ONE lunch in town because we enjoyed preparing and enjoying all of our meals in the comfort of this home. Enjoyed Mt Dora shops, walking, and kayaking!

The Flowers House Review

We stayed at this beautiful historic remodeled home as a friend reunion. Six of us upon arrival coming from different parts of the state walked into the house at various times. Each one us were overwhelmed with the magnificence, cleanliness, decor, amenities, and detail. The beds and bedding were so comfortable. Coffee pot in every bedroom. We meet every year at a different location and this home and all provided was the best we have ever had. We highly recommend this VRBO home. The town is within walking distance and it is a quaint town full of boutiques, unique shops, and good restaurants.
