This was such a nice cute little cottage. My wife and I absolutely loved our stay, and we can't wait to stay again when we go back. It was so cute and comfy and incredible attention to detail. Only a few blocks away from the main shops. Definitely would recommend it to others.

Great Stay

The cottage is quaint and charming. It has everything a couple needs. It is located close to historic Mt. Dora downtown and served as a base for exploring. The weather was great. My only suggestion is 2 ply toilet paper.

Birthday Celebration

We were thrilled with the Dickerman Cottage at Mt Dora, Fl. The cleanliness was immaculate and the furnishings made us feel at home. Everything was as described by the owner, John. Downtown was just a short walk which was great because of the town’s. limited parking. Great Experience!

Art & Soul

John’s well-equipped cottage is nestled in the perfect, peaceful neighborhood and also an easy walk to all downtown Mt. Dora has to offer. John is a wonderful person and host - just a joy to encounter. I came for a solo art and rest retreat and the cottage was perfect for me - comfy bed, lovely courtyard for private outdoor space, well-stocked kitchen that met all my needs. Just a gem of a place - thank you, John!

A Delightful Surprise!

We made a last minute reservation for an arts and crafts festival weekend... we were not having much luck until my daughter suggested we check out VRBO and we tripped into this wonderful surprise! Dickerman Cottage was way more than we expected, think Chip and Joanna Gaines Fixer Upper delight! The interior of this little place had so much charm. Everywhere we looked there was some other little detail to experience. Absolutely loved every minute of our experience there and can't think of anything we could suggest to make the placer better. We definitely plan on returning.
