The cottage was walking distance to all the shops with parking right in the driveway. Ana was easy to reach and was kind enough to let us put our groceries in the fridge ahead of us checking in. Nice and clean and great for guests needing two bedrooms.

Best place to stay with all you need
I always stay with Mount Dora cottages when visiting, this is my favorite one but they have many and I have stayed in several others multiple times. You have a kitchen and ample space to hang out like your own home well appointed with what you need. Walk everywhere you need to go and cook at home or try many of the wonderful restaurants, two of my favorites, Thai and Mexican one block over. Also the Ice cream shop Scoops! I love this cottage and Mount Dora.

Thank you, Lorraine, for your positive feedback. We are so happy you enjoyed the cozy and spacious cottage. It is very comfortable and provides plenty of privacy since it is a stand alone cottage. We are extremely fortunate that the cottage is only a few steps away to everything that our Downtown area has to offer. It is always a pleasure to serve you and we look forward to your return visit in the near future.

It was only one night, but the cottage was so comfortable and easy. The front inclosed porch we used so much. Just a great place to stay and an easy walk into Mt. Dora. Just a few blocks. Would stay there again.

Cottage 235 getaway
Our stay was for a couples getaway from life and we had an amazingly relaxing time. Cottage was nice inside and out and a central location to enjoy Mt Dora without having to drive. Only thing we saw wrong was the Alaric’s slants a lot front to back. Would be a challenge cooking but that being said we ate out anyway.

Cute Nantucket cottage. Close to EVERYTHING.
This cottage is in a perfect location to see all of Mt Dora. I stayed for the race weekend (5k Saturday and half marathon Sunday). One block from Donnelly park for the 5k start and maybe 10 minutes wander to Elizabeth Evans park for the half start/finish. Key easily available from the lockbox. Rooms furnished in a nautical theme. Everything was well appointed and clean. Easy to walk to restaurants and stores in historic downtown Mt Dora. I never used my car between check in and check out. I would definitely recommend this cottage and would stay again if visiting the area.

Nice Stay in Mt Dora
Our stay was pleasent and the location was very close to the center of Mount Dora's business district. I was a little dissapponited in the size of the shower, I am 5'6''s and had a very hard time showering. The shower is only 2 1/2' to 3' wide with a seat making it difficult to move around comfortably. My son is 5'10"s and large, I don't see him even trying to shower without it being hard for somone his size. The stairs are a little steep going up to the apartment, so I would not recommend it to any one eldery. I did call for a second key for my wife, and Ana one of the associates of the cottages was very quick to respond in that instance as well as getting the wifi up and running for me when I informed her that it was down. I would recommend the this property to most couples, but as I stated before not to anyone with moblility issues. Tony S.

Thank you so much for staying with us. It was a pleasure serving you. We are so sorry about the construction; we didn't know that the residents were doing any construction next to your unit. As far as the charge, most lodging establishments charge a deposit the day you reserve and instead of doing that, and hold up your funds, we charge you 24 hours prior to arrival. Thank you so much for your feedback. It is deeply appreciated and we are so happy that you had a lovely stay. Mount Dora is quite charming and our units are conveniently located that you are only a few minutes' walking distance from the town.
