It was a pleasure to stay at Debbie’s one of a kind home, located centrally a couple of blocks from beautiful downtown Mount Dora. The beds were super comfortable, and it was quiet and peaceful, the A/C worked wonderfully. There were plenty of spaces within the house to relax and enjoy. The hosts were extremely responsive. Thank you for your hospitality! We look forward to returning again soon and staying at this property.

Within easy walking distance of shops if you are in good shape. Because of our age we elected to drive, less than 3 minutes from food or shopping. The Host was responsive to our texts and left us water, coffee pods and treats.

Coziest Cottage!

Our stay here was so very relaxing. The space was lovely; clean and beautifully decorated. It had most amenities and an excellent host who provided anything you needed. It was well located within a short walking distance from downtown so we walked everyday. It is on my list of favorite places to stay again.
