Sweet house
I was initially not impressed because the entry and drive is messy and difficult to navigate. Then I got inside and decided the stay was well worth it. The host was super nice and friendly. Linens and beds wonderful. Kitchen equipment pretty good. Just needed some TLC on the outside. Blowing leaves, Washing away some mud. General sprucing up. I would definitely stay there again.

Perfect and peaceful
The property is beautiful with the large oaks and waterfront views, etc. Very private and relaxing. Close to Mt. Dora for dining or shopping. We will likely stay again.One drawback, we did have 4 adults and the second room is through to primary and the one bath is only accessible through the primary. So, they had to come in our room during the night to use the restroom. Otherwise it was perfect.

Feeling of Old Florida
The property fully met our expectations and placed us in an area of Florida that we had never experienced. Lake County has about 1100 lakes some of which are huge. The LC Water Authority has a dozen areas or more that are preserves for water quality and flora and fauna protection. Many trails are available to hike and birding was good in a couple of the preserves. We even saw a bear track, but not the bear that made it. The hosts were great and we found all the people we met to be friendly. I imagine this will become a repeat trip in the not to distant future.

Above Expectations
The host was very accommodating and put the extra effort in down to the little details. We were in town for a wedding, and this home was the perfect location. The outdoor space and lake view were enchanting. The house was decorated for the holidays, which made it feel warm and inviting. Would definitely recommend.

Must needed relaxing Weekend
Beautiful property, you honestly can not help but relax when you stay at Red Bird Cottage. There are porches surrounding the house with comfortable seating to watch the wildlife and view the lake. Kayaks waiting on the dock for lake exploring. Fire pit with wood ready to go and a gas grill. Plan on visits from Sandhill cranes and Osceola turkeys. The house is clean and truly charming. The hosts are very accommodating and seem to be sincere in their desire for you to enjoy your stay.
The only downside is that you walk through the master bedroom to get to the second bedroom and the bathroom is in the master bedroom.
I hope to bring my husband back for a couple weekend.

Felt like our own treehouse cottage
We had a very nice stay at the cottage. It was calm, relaxing and the hosts were accessible, communicative, and kind. We had a little bad luck with the weather but the hosts were very generous, helping to assure we enjoyed our time and felt safe. And our pooches loved it! We felt like we were in a tree house, it was splendid.

Amazing views!
Property views were absolutely amazing and peaceful! I wish we had more time to enjoy during our 3 night stay. Property is nestled between equestrian farms right on a lake. The home is cozy and only critique would be the two bedrooms are connected by a slat type door so you don’t have a lot of privacy. The bathroom is in the master so the guest room must come through master to use. Coffee bar was a wonderful touch!! Deck area is expansive and looks right on the lake. Great fishing dock! Our teens loved it!

So lovely
Absolutely beautiful home and setting. Peaceful and secluded. The lake at sunrise and the horses and cows on the property were icing on the cake. We were sorry to only be able to stay 2 nights for this trip. We will be back for a longer stay!
It is a truly beautiful lake house with plenty of room. Not far from the city and all it's amenities. I lovingly recommend a visit to this piece of the quiet country living on the lake.
Beautiful property. Quiet, peaceful. A great place to relax and enjoy the view. The cottage is well decorated and comfortable.
