Perfect getaway!

This is now our favorite spot in Florida. The lakeside relaxation and the wonderful, attentive owners made this an exceptional experience! This is a beautiful, well maintained property, outfitted with kayaks, summer kitchen and dock areas for enjoying time with family!

We wish we could move here

Don and Colleen have a beautiful lake lot and we are lucky they share it! They allowed us to sip coffee, float, fish, kayak/row from their dock on beautiful Lake Saunders. Boat traffic was light and nights were quiet. Our trip reminded us of summer lake trips to Northern Wisconsin.

Nice place

This place is over the garage of an attached house and has stairs. The owner respected our privacy and let us enjoyed their beautiful yard and dock as if they were not there. They always asked if we needed anything. Very quiet retreat and Mt Dora nearby has alot of shops, resturants and tour boats to enjoy. Just wish the fish were biting more.

Cute house and amazing location

It was just me and my friend staying in this house in Mount Dora. This house was perfect location to the downtown area and all the little boutiques, shops and restaurants. Easy drive to other surrounding areas as well. The house was very clean and we had excellent communication with the owners! I would highly recommend this house!

My friend and I stayed at Colleen and Don's cozy, comfortable lakefront home. They were gracious hosts and made us feel very welcomed. We enjoyed the large dock area, grill, and views of the lake and their beautiful yard. Hope to visit again in the Spring.

Great rental and hosts!

Upon arrival we were met by the owner Don who gave us a tour of the unit and the property. Cozy interior with comfortable beds. The dock and seating/grilling area on the lake were great for watching the sunset and wildlife. Location was perfect. Just 3 miles to Mount Dora. Will definitely stay here on our next visit. Thanks Don & Colleen!!

Serenity by the lake

The property was beautiful . The dock and the seatting area on the lake was wonderful. The apt was very nice and comfortable. Well stocked with ever thing we needed. Colleen and Don were great hosts. They know the area well. Location was perfect in between and very close to all the great places to see in the area.

Beautiful interior and location on the lake.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy and unique retreat. It boasts 3 beds, 1 double and 2 twins, in a very attractive arrangement. Beautifully decorated with antiques, this over the garage apartment was very comfortable. The hosts are wonderful people, friendly but they give you space to just enjoy their lovely landscaped yard, huge lakeside dock, and quaint buildings. Good people. We highly recommend!
