We stayed for 2 months in this extremely comfortable cottage. Teresa and Todd are wonderful hosts and very welcoming. Their home is right in front of the cottage but they are not intrusive but are available when needed. The best part is the location which is very private and within walking distance to the downtown and some of our favorite bars/restaurants. Jeremiahs is only a block away. The amenities including the comfortable bed and the full kitchen make your stay very pleasant. We really enjoyed the screened in porch for reading and puzzling. You can't go wrong staying here if you are lucky enough to be able to book it

About the host

Hosted by Todd and Teresa Vandre

Host profile image
My husband and I both grew up in Florida; however, life moved us around the United States as we finished school, my husband served in the military, and we followed our careers as a pilot and nurse. Now back in Florida, we fell in love with the small-town charm of Mount Dora, with the amenities of Orlando not too far away.

Why they chose this property

Also known as "The Festival City", Mount Dora is a historic central Florida town located on the shores of Lake Dora -- and is home to antique stores, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, and some of the oldest and largest festivals in Florida every year. From Renningers Antique Center and Flea Market down to the small bakeries and coffee shops of downtown, my husband and I are in love with the Mount Dora!
