Host's were great, accommodations were great, very quiet & very clean, room for boat parking, nice view when grilling out on the dock. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.
We couldn’t have been happier with the place and location. The hosts are wonderful. Look forward to returning.

Acessible, Peaceful and Restful
We enjoyed our stay very much. The owners made us feel very welcome and comfortable. If we come to the area again, we will definitely plan to stay at this peaceful and restful apartment.
Best place, it was like we were staying with family.
I’ve been to all 50 states and never have found better. Located so your close to whatever you wish.
We loved staying here! The owners live on the property, but they were super nice and helpful. The yard, dock area and lake were perfect for my 5-year-old daughter to play. We would definitely stay here again!!

wonderful place
Great host, great location, Only down doesn't have a clock, but who needs one.
A really relaxing place to stay and experience. Highly recommend. The owners are very accommodating and willing to make your stay perfect. We had a very nice time. The morning sunrise and evening sunsets on the dock was wonderful.
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!
Great place. Don went over and above to make sure we had everything we needed from basic necessities to preparing the boat with everything I needed to catch a few fish. Will definitely stay there again if we come back in town.
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.
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!

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!!

Wonderful!
We really enjoyed the stay at this lake retreat. The cottage is comfortable, clean and well equipped. Don and Colleen are very personable and accommodating. I would definitely stay again. P.S. LOVE the antique twin sleigh beds! So comfortable!
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.
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.
