The house is incredible on the inside. I have traveled to numerous countries and stayed in interesting places. This property came with 2 black buzzards in mating season and a pair of small alligators. They were in the yard watching us unpack. The birds spent most of their time looking through the glass doors towards us. We would go back anytime we can. Felt like we were at home when we walked in.

Fantastic stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Perfect location, just a short drive to the entertainment district. We named the tamest alligator who enjoyed sunning on the bank, just a few feet from the enclosed patio, Chewy.

Perfect for central Florida visit

Great location, (close to Mt Dora, Eustis & Tavares) large house, extremely clean and neat. We really enjoyed our stay, the screened porch was perfect for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails, all while having multiple alligator sightings! The beds were comfortable and towels were nice and fluffy!! Would definitely return to this rustic but pleasant VRBO.

Great place

This house was exceptionally clean and spacious. The location was close to everything we wanted to do in Tavares and Mt Dora. The 2 alligators in the pond provided so much entertainment to our Minnesota family members. (They are harmless). We appreciated the privacy too. We played board games in the evening and might have been a little loud if the neighbors were too close. 😁

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home and will definitely be back for another stay. The owner was extremely easy to work with and responded immediately with any questions that needed answered. The home was meticulously clean. The cypress walls were breathtaking. My favorite place to sit was on the back screened porch overlooking the water. An absolutely wonderful place to sit and relax!
