Quaint and Relaxing

My family and I wanted to have fun during the day at all the Disney parks but was interested in staying somewhere quaint and quiet in the evenings. This place was perfect and we would recommend it to everyone. Great price, great location and great host!

One of my favorite Vrbo's!

This trip was for a small gathering to celebrate a friend's birthday. The property is very unique (check out the listing to see it ALL - the amenities are great!) and it made for the perfect space to hang out. Host was excellent.

Perfect getaway!

Upon arriving nice neighborhood drive was seemed small but on our last day with multiple cars on lot it was easy to get out. I was impressed by the whole property, but the vegetation was by far my favorite thing the pool was easy to find there was so many things to keep us occupied if we needed. Owner was quick to respond and even checked in with us. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect getaway!

This hidden gem was the perfect getaway retreat! Clean and comfortable and fully stocked for all our needs. The property was green and lush and so interesting! We used the game room and hot tub as well as relaxed by the lake. The only regret was that we did not book it for more days! Jerome was an awesome host and communication was great! Thank you! We will be back!!!

Very particular host, stressful experience

Host really aggressively pressured me to give him money and refused to extend because I took a few hours later to get him a check. One of the least hospitable hosts I’ve ever met. Very stressful experience.

The lovely Cottage

Das Mills Cottage liegt traumhaft und ist von kleinen Seen und einer tollen Wohngegend umgeben. Es ist eine Ruheoase und doch zentral gelegen! Das Haus ist ausgestattet mit allem was man benötigt und liebevoll eingerichtet. Der Gastgeber antwortet zügig und ist sehr hilfsbereit. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen und können das Cottage jedem weiterempfehlen.

Great host, beautiful property!

We stayed here for 1 night when we went to a concert in Orlando. Jerome was super accommodating for us and our dog Dexter, and stayed in touch prior to us coming, making us feel very welcome. The property itself is very beautifully designed and extremely clean! Would love to come back just to use all of the amenities they have since our first stay was so short.

A Great Escape

This place was a pleasure to stay at, the grounds were amazing. You don’t feel like you’re in Orlando. It was nice being close enough to touristy theme park fun, but yet far enough away to feel at home when escaping the crowds. The game room was the heart of trip when not splishing and splashing at the water park. It even inspired us to purchase our own dart board for family fun. We did not get to use the beautiful pool but it was nice having the option, that and in addition the sauna and gym. The snacks available were a nice touch to keep the kids satisfied between meals. Thanks! Love the honor bar although we had our own adult beverages, it’s nice to have options. Overall great short stay and would love to visit again in the future and take that dip in the pool.

July in Orlando

Property is close to the airport and near Universal studios. The neighborhood is very cute and near Lake Eola and activities there. We had a wonderful time even though it was very warm. July in Florida is very hot, hotter than I remember.
