We just loved our stay! The home was beautiful and we had plenty of space. The kitchen was fully functional and we cooked several meals. We especially enjoyed the screened front porch and spent a good bit of time enjoying the beautiful lake view. Will definitely be coming back.

Mount Dora Lake Retreat

Great location. Great property size. Well appointed home. Very generous with kitchen and bathroom supplies. Didn't have to go shopping for anything. Very comfortable. They owners tried really hard to anticipate our every need. It showed. I highly recommend this host and this property.

This was the perfect getaway vacation that my family and I needed. The house was very clean, organized, and cozy. There were so many useful tools around the house that we were able to use during our stay. The best part was the view we had sitting in the screened porch with the beautiful tree and lake view. Gabi was very attentive during our stay and really helped with all the questions we had. Thank you Gabi for everything! If we ever come back to Mount Dora, we will definitely come back here!

Beautiful Mountain View....in Florida?

Side note...I don't ever take the time to leave reviews but, I felt this experience warranted some time to give credit to a great property and a wonderful experience. My family and I were more than impressed with the detail the owners put into this pet friendly vacation rental a few blocks from one of the most charming, historic downtowns in Florida. Many times, the pictures seem like false advertisement for these types of rentals but, the pictures didn't do it justice here. The furnishings were beautiful and comfortable. You can tell tons of effort went into making every detail enhance rest and relaxation with an updated elegance in the most beautiful part of an established neighborhood. The view from the front screened in porch is almost like an attraction you have to experience. I wish I was there right now. The car port was great to have in Florida's summer 100 degree temps and thunder storms. The security system added extra peace of mind, even though I don't think you would even need it in that neighborhood. All the appliances were modern and appeared to be brand new. The fully stocked Keurig coffee maker had an automatic latte/cappuccino function! The property manager, Gabi was top notch. She and her team were extremely efficient, professional and very friendly and pleasant to interact with. I'm self admittedly pretty picky and I was really impressed from start to finish with this property and experience. My only regret is, I wasn't able to stay loner.
