Everything was good, except the poor water pressure. Also it took a long time to get hot water. Location was great, maybe update to porch furniture.

Three of us stayed in the Magnolia suite for 2 nights. It has two separate rooms for the bed and a nice little kitchenette area and private porch. The shower is on the smaller side and the water temperature is a little temperamental, but once you figure out how to maneuver it, the shower was pleasant. We enjoyed the location and walked to downtown Mount Dora to shop and eat. I paid for early arrival which worked out nicely. We never saw any staff on site, but we didn’t need anything and the anonymity was nice. All three of us would stay here again.

The house itself exudes character and charm, and the overall ambiance is serene, making it an excellent spot for those seeking peace and relaxation. My room was quite spacious, but unfortunately, it felt outdated, and the bathroom was not as comfortable to use as I had hoped. The fixtures could benefit from some modernization to enhance the overall experience. The shared spaces, on the other hand, were beautifully designed—cozy, inviting, and perfect for unwinding. Although I didn’t get a chance to use them during my stay, they certainly added to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. With a little attention to updating the rooms and bathrooms, this hotel could be a true gem. It’s a good choice if you value charm and tranquility over modern amenities.
