Fabulous cottage in a great location in Mt Dora.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this fabulous cottage in Mt Dora. The property is spotlessly clean & well maintained. Owners communicate well & their hospitality & thoughtfulness is much appreciated. The location of the property is in the historic district of Mt Dora and a short walk away from downtown and all it has to offer. We would highly recommend this lovely cottage.

The cottage lives up to it's name

Stayed for two nights and really loved the property. Very clear communication made check-in a breeze. The kitchen is very well equipped and the assortment of musical instruments brought out our creative side. Location doesn't get better. We'll definitely be back again!

A month in Mt. Dora

We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful, quaint town of Mt. Dora. Walking to the town center was easy from our cottage. Our hosts were more than accommodating. We r visiting again next winter. We will be staying at their Modern Tree House property next year.

About the host

Hosted by Liz & Lee

We are a fun couple with a sense of humor who are best friends married for 32 years! We think a house can be comfortable and luxurious and still have a sense of humor! Each room has a quirky mix of both elegant and eclectic... from a whimsical floor lamp of colorful carved stacked animals to octopus art in the bathroom! We are very passionate about giving our guests a "Wow!" experience!

Why they chose this property

One of the few vacation rentals that is actually in the heart of Mount Dora's Historic District only a few blocks from the downtown area yet on a quiet and peaceful street.

What makes this property unique

An IMAGINARIUM art house filled with many antique musical instruments, from the elegant (piano, concertina, cello, violin, dulcimer and mandolin), to the quirky (kalimba, accordion, washboard, cigar-box guitar and even a small steel drum!)
