About this space: Highly rated on Airb&b. Experience tranquility at this peaceful and centrally-located cottage, just a 5-minute drive to downtown Mt Dora. The cottage offers 2 cozy bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a serene, fully-fenced yard. Relax in the hammock under the palm trees, gaze at the stars, or explore the vibrant downtown area with its events, shops, dining, and stunning Lake Dora sunsets.

The space: This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home features a fully-fenced yard and an additional efficiency guesthouse in the backyard for 2 guests, also available for booking. The shared yard provides ample space for gatherings while ensuring some privacy.

During my part-time stays, I've found the guesthouse occupants to be pleasant and mostly out and about.

Donna was awesome with communicating in a prompt manner, especially when we were trying to find a place that would allow our two dogs. We were thoroughly surprised by the Mr. Dora area! The downtown area had pickleball courts, boutiques, small business restaurants, and a nice view of the water if you are looking for a waterfront run or view of the sunrise/sunset. The backyard was big enough for two dogs and you can tell she had put a lot of effort in making it a welcoming environment. The drive to Universal was an hour to us, but it was worth being away from the big city. I would return if I am in the area again.

This was a lovely 2 bed 1 bath home with a large couch. We brought along an inflatable bed and slept 4 comfortably. It was clean and the host is helpful and hospitable. It is roughly 20 miles from Wekiwa Springs. If you are coming up from Orlando, it is best to visit the spring first before checking in so you won't have to double back on your trip. Lovely home and trip.
