Whether you've planned a trip to Mount Dora, or are just looking for an interesting trip; this charming home is an ideal place to stay. Located in a quiet residential area, the home is conveniently located in easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and local points of interest. The attentive hosts made check in a breeze and stayed in contact with us to assure we were having the best possible experience. The home is immaculate, and filled with fascinating artwork.

Relaxing and convenient
What a beautiful home and neighborhood. So close to beautiful historic downtown Mt. Dora we just pulled in the driveway and walked everywhere we had to go. Liz and Lee are amazing from the moment you book with them Liz is wonderful with keeping you informed of what there is to do around town.We just got home and already booked with Liz and Lee for our next stay at another one of their homes.

A Dream Staycation
We are from South Florida and have always used Mount Dora as a local staycation getaway. Having not been back in 20 years, I was so pleased to find the Historic District not only maintained, but the quaint downtown protected from large big box retail and restaurants. Complimenting that are the 3 homes owned by Liz and Lee. We stayed at The Fisherman's Cottage, an easy 1/2 mile walk to the downtown. Liz was not only easily reachable leading up to the stay and during, but she also helped us plan locations for romantic dinners and "local" things a tourist would not otherwise know to ask for. Thanks again Liz. You made our anniversary weekend magical, romantic, and felt like we were staying in our own private getaway cottage. We will definitely be staying at their properties again.

“Reely”Whopper of a Time-Nothing to Crab About Here!
This cottage is one of the best places which we have had the pleasure to stay! The hosts, Liz and Lee, create an atmosphere of fun, comfort, and delight! They are conscientious communicators and very clear and thorough with their communications about check in, etc. It is exceptionally clean, beautifully and uniquely decorated, and it offers anything a traveler might need while there. It is within easy walking distance to downtown Mt. Dora (with its fun shopping and restaurant areas), in a quiet neighborhood, and within easy driving distance the public library and to Publix if one is inclined to eat in. There are two screened in porches - front and back - both with chairs and side tables. I believe you will not be disappointed if you decide to book this place! It’s an experience in itself!
