Perfect!

The property is near stores and main road, however once you are inside or in the back yard you don’t even feel like it. It was very peaceful and filled our needs. We were in town for a surprise bday party and it was the perfect place for us to stay at.

Excellent place to stay near Mt Dora and Tavares. Clean in and out. Has dock with rocking chairs which is very relaxing and a hammock on the back deck for naps.

Sweet cottage in Tavares with a lovely view!

Needed a short stay for attending a memorial service in the area. This adorable 1923 cottage was perfect. I chose it for the size and "fishability" -- the lake is so clear and the view from the back porch and the dock is really beautiful. Though we weren't at the property much because of the events we were attending, the cottage seemed well equipped, clean and comfortable. Very nice stay!

Lake House getaway

We had an amazing time, this is a perfect house for some relaxation and quality time; it is well equipped and the rooms are very comfortable. All appliances are in good shape, loved the vintage glassware. The highlight is the deck, even if you don’t have a boat, perfect spot for morning coffee, meditation and just contemplating and enjoying the outdoors, would definitely go back there.

We couldn’t have chosen a better place for our first blended family mini-vacation. The bedroom layout is weird, but the house is great. Our family of 5 had no space issues and everything was super clean. The yard and lake are beautiful. Despite what everyone says though, there is a gator in the lake! This will be where we stay, if possible, whenever we stay around Mt. Dora.

Spectacular lakefront view and beautiful sunsets

Our stay at this lakefront home was perfect! Not only did the property boast pristine cleanliness and thoughtful amenities, but the morning coffee on the deck with serene lake views became a morning ritual. The stunning sunsets from the dock were equally impressive. Heather, the property manager, deserves accolades for prompt and excellent support. This rental offered an unforgettable blend of relaxation and adventure.

Great Lakehouse Weekend Getaway

Had a great time with family celebrating Father’s Day weekend. Check in process was easy and home was clean and cosy. We really appreciated what the owners did for the outdoor space they have it set up very useful, enjoyable and beautiful. It was great having the dock although we did not catch much fish :) Very nice and helpful property manager. We did not have any troubles during our stay with the rental to where we needed to contact the manager, but she reached out to us anyway just to make sure we have everything needed and our check in went smooth. Great place to stay for a weekend!

Great Lakehouse Getaway

We had an amazing time celebrating Father’s Day weekend at this cute Lakehouse. We definitely enjoyed thee lake and the whole outdoor area they have set up. Owners of this home really took their time and made the outdoor space very useful, comfortable and beautiful. Check in progress was easy, home was clean and cozy. Property manager was great! We didn’t have any problems with the rental to where we needed to contact her but she reached out few times just to make sure we had everything for check in and all was good. We didn’t catch much fish but we had a great time there with family!
