A great alternative to the typical Florida tourist experience!

We loved staying in this historical farmhouse next to a field with cows! The town of Mount Dora is so wonderful, and we had a great time. If you're not people who need to lie on the beach all day when you're in Florida, give this place a try!

Very charming location in Lake county fl. The property is in the country but loose enough to Lake Dora and Eustis. Good central location if interested in visiting FL springs. Host was very communicative.

Gorgeous and the luck house!

Five moms with our teen daughters traveled to the area for a volleyball tournament and we left with amazing memories in part to this beautiful home...and our girls won the tournament so I will always believe the house had a part in that!Communications with the host were prompt and detailed.House was easy to find using Google maps, even arriving late at night.Area seemed safe and tranquil.We did bring some groceries with us but house pretty much had everything we needed for our stay.Too cold for the pool, but a few of us were tempted in a cold plunge because it was so beautiful.We all fell in love with the area and the house.Mt Dora is just a few minutes away and a must see.Wonderful stay, experience and memories!

Cousin Camp

Annual trip where grandparents take their grandkids, no parents allowed, on a get away. This year we went to Mount Dora and stayed in this comfortable farm house. we took the kids to Leesburg where they went roller skating, did an escape room, laser tag, movie, go cart riding, played games, and splashed in the pool at the farmhouse. We all had a great time

AMAZING house and location!

I arranged this trip for ladies from my quilting group that I taught before retirement. It was a perfect spot for us to meet and enjoy quilting together and shopping at wonderful town, Mt. Dora. Two fabulous quilt shops close by and wonderful places to eat. The house was like a step back in time! So comfortable and homey. HIGHLY recommend!

If you love southern comfort…

The farmhouse was absolutely amazing. The time spent on the porch in the evenings was magical. The fun we had in and around the pool was awesome. The moments we dined together at the table were special. The entire time we spent at the Grow’s Farmhouse is what special memories are made of. We could not have asked for a better experience!

Secluded Old World Farmhouse

Our family get-together at this wonderful farmhouse exceeded our expectations. The house is charming, comfortable, and well-equipped. We made great use of the gourmet kitchen, the gardens and pool, the 2 fire-pits, and exploring the woods. It was a quick 15 minutes into Mount Dora, and 20 minutes to Wekiwa Springs. We all had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay and will come back in the near future for sure!

Amazing property and location

First thing the kids said as they walked in was "this house is haunted". Within the hour they declared the house ghost free and loved the pool and sleeping in the upstairs kids room. As for the adults, it was a pleasure staying in this lively property. It is not your cookie cutter kind of house, it has real character. We went to Kings landing and Mt. Dora. Everything was closer than expected and so convenient. 10/10 would stay here again!

Didn’t want to Leave

There were seven of us on a girls Christmas weekend. There was plenty of room and everything was better than described. The Christmas decorations were wonderful. It felt like we were in a Hallmark movie. Everything was very clean and well organized. The front porch was amazing and the pool area tranquil. Our Nextdoor neighbor cows were just an added touch to the peaceful experience. It only took us about 15 minutes to get to Downtown Mount Dora. It was Christmas Walk weekend so it was very busy, but still a lot of fun with unique shops and restaurants. We are all ready to return and bring our families back for more than a weeeknd.

Excellent Stay!

The house was incredible. It had a perfect match of old charm and modern convenience. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked and the stove/ovens were incredible. The pool was crystal clear, it was the cleanest pool I have ever seen in a rental property. The area around the pool was great for relaxing. The location was very private and quiet. The only thing we ever heard were the owls hooting in the trees. During a mild thunderstorm we all sat out on the wrap around porch and enjoyed the rain. We were there to visit family in the area, but did go to Disney Springs which only took about 30 minutes and was a really easy drive. The owners checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I highly reccomend this property.
