The house was just like the pictures and beds are so comfortable. It is very well decorated with some fun, unique features. We all really felt welcomed. Beautiful views of the lake and we enjoyed the pool table in the game room, too. The Tesla charger with adaptor is a huge plus for anyone with an EV. Host was very responsive and friendly! Would definitely recommend and we will stay here again if we are back in the area!

Fantastic Host & Great Location

We had a truly perfect stay! The home was spotless, the beds were super comfy, and the welcome basket was such a thoughtful surprise—it made us feel instantly at home. Everything was exactly as described (or better!), and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

We loved this home. It was my husband and I, my daughter and her husband and our dog Avery. The house had everything we needed and the location was great. One of the best stocked home we have stayed in, from coffee choices, cream, sweeteners, etc. a generous welcome basket, and everything you could need in the bathrooms. The living areas were spacious and the views of the lake was perfect. A very quiet and relaxing home. Will definitely stay again if we are visiting the area. Communications with the host was quick and responsive. Jill thank you for making our stay so special.

This was one of our favorite VRBO homes ever! We stayed for 3 weeks and couldn't have been happier or felt more at home. The house was clean and set up with anything we needed for our stay, including a welcome basket, and items for our dogs (bowls/bed). Our beds were very comfortable, TV's were newer and easy to use, and the kitchen was well stocked. Our favorite thing to do was sit out back in the morning and early evening overlooking the water, watching all the birds, and enjoying coffee /cocktail with our dogs walking around in the secured yard. The location is very quiet, and walking to downtown Mt Dora and nearby restaurants was a breeze. Last but not least, the host Jill was incredibly responsive and welcoming. We will definitely be back to this home next year .... loved it.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful lakeside home! The home is so warm and inviting, with charming touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. The highlight was definitely the stunning view – mornings spent sipping coffee on the brick deck while taking in the serene water, was pure bliss.The location is perfect! The neighborhood is wonderful. It was just the right distance to downtown, so you get the peace and quiet of the home, but it’s a quick and easy drive to shops, restaurants, and local attractions. It really felt like the best of both worlds.The property was spotless, and the host was super responsive and accommodating. We truly felt like we were staying somewhere special. If you're looking for a peaceful, picturesque spot with easy access to everything downtown has to offer, this place is a must!
