This small home was amazing. Beautifully decorated and had everything you need to be comfortable. The location was perfect- walking distance to everything. We will book again.
We had a wonderful stay over NYE- great location- we walked everywhere- quaint cottage great for two people. Communication from owner was perfect. Highly recommend this gem!
My husband and I stayed for a weekend in Mount Dora with our dog, Buddy. We had a wonderful time. The location is amazing. The bed is super comfy. We had everything we needed.
We came to Mt Dora for the annual Mt Dora Yacht Club Regatta in March and stayed at this quaint little cottage.
It’s decorated beautifully and it’s truly located in the downtown historic district. It’s close to everything.
We loved it so much that we booked it again, in October.
Everything about our stay was right on point. The cottage was clean and provided easy access to coffee, breakfast, shops, and restaurants. The owner was pleasant, accommodating and communicated well. The pictures posted are a true representation of the cottage. We look forward to being a reoccurring visitor. Thank you for a great stay!
I really enjoyed my stay, the cottage is so cute and cozy. Couldn't ask for a better location, easy walk to all the stores and restaurants. Parking was not an issue for me, there was availability whenever I needed it. What a joy, I would love to have spent more time there, when I return I will be booking the tiny cottage again!
Can’t say enough about this adorable tiny cottage. Highly recommend!! We were there for the weekend to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary. This cottage is perfect for 2 people. It’s just like the pictures. Decor was perfect, smells good, plenty of towels, pillows, easy checkin, very clean. Location is excellent; we walked everywhere. We were surprised at how busy Mt Dora was which made parking a bit of a challenge during the day (limited to 4 hr window b/t 11-6) but we always managed to find parking in front of the cottage in the evening. We enjoyed sitting out front in the Adirondack chairs people watching while sipping some wine when we weren’t out exploring. Ate at the Mexican restaurant right down the street and also enjoyed a fancy meal at the Goblin Market, both very good.
The place was beautiful, just as describe in the middle of everything fun but at the same time away enough from the noise and people. Our host was very incredible nice and quick to respond to a very small issue, we will be back soon!
Wonderful stay! My husband and I had a great anniversary staying here! Adorable, clean , quiet cottage. Will definitely make a repeat on our list of places to go. Michael was great at communicating - everything went very easy and well. Thank you!!
Excellent location. The description was accurate. Communication with the owner was excellent. Clean, cozy and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
This cottage was everything as advertised and more. Literally steps from everything! The bed was very comfortable and the entire space was clean and very well cared for. The effort to make things special for us was very much appreciated!We loved being able to walk to the water whenever we liked, and never missed a sunset.
