Staying at the Estate at Mount Dora was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped into our room, we loved how cozy everything felt. The room was nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable, especially after a long day or touring, and every detail, from the plush linens to the charming decor, showed real care and thought.

I would absolutely stay here again! For a short weekend to explore Mount Dora, I'd say it was an overall good choice! It's in walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants to explore in the historic area and just an overall nice area. At night, it's the prettiest because they have night lights all around the property and it's so comforting. A cute, well-kept little place to stay for a short while. I wish there were a stove in the room, but we managed without one, as the room had a toaster and microwave. I'd say the only ussue I had was with cleanliness in the beginning when some random items were left behind from the owners from when they were cleaning the room, but that's really only something that could've happened once in a lifetime. They even offered us a new room in case we had wanted it for the inconvenience, but decided to stay with our current because of the aesthetic. I liked this place! Would stay again! Friendly and attending staff, nice atmosphere, and super home-y!
