This cottage was so wonderful and peaceful. Deborah was helpful and pro coded great directions and instructions a couple days before we arrived. She made sure to check in on my us. I would definitely recommend this host and her lovely cottage.

SPOTLESSLY clean, completely comfortable, a delightful place to relax and enjoy! We only wish we'd been able to stay longer and look forward to returning soon.

Debbie is so sweet and a very welcoming host! We loved staying at her cottage. We will definitely try to come back. I highly recommend taking advantage of the fire pit and the bakery across the street.

Can't get better than perfect in every way.....returning soon...5 star rating is well deserved. Thank you Deborah for your hospitality!!

Everything was just as expected. Deborah checked in with us just enough to maintain our privacy but still make sure we had everything we needed. The house was very inviting and quiet. Our daughter enjoyed hearing the owl outside one evening. We would definitely recommend Deborah's hospitality.

We were looking for a place to shut ourselves in and get writing and work done. An escape. This Charming Cottage was perfect for us - and it really is a charming cottage! The layout and setup of the house is cute, and worked well for our needs. The wrap around porch gave us a nice break from being stuck inside all day. Upon our arrival we got a welcome package with bagels, juice, milk, coffee, teas and more. There were towels and linens provided to use, as well as hand soaps, shampoos, etc. The kitchen was fully stock with all pots and pans and utensils you could possibly need (even things like a cheese grater, which came in handy!) and there's dish soap and dish detergent available. If you've got time, take a walk around the property. There's a spring-fed stream that had small fish and a turtle. Be sure to wear your skin-so-soft (that is so kindly left out for you). The owner, Debbie, lives next door so she's available if you have questions about the area (check out the Yalaha Bakery across the street, delicious!) or need anything during your stay. We're already planning to go back when it cools down and we can use the outside fire pit. We really enjoyed ourselves, and recommend this rental.

We all three enjoyed our stay, thanks to deborah and Gunther for being very accommodating. Nice and spacious cottage. Look forward to another stay next year if all goes well.

A real Charming Cottage for a memorable stay near Mission Inn Golf Resort! Deborah has been such a thoughtful and welcoming host as she ensured we settled in hassles- free. We were provided with all required facilities and amenities. The cottage is spacious not only at the interior and it has a huge exterior compound for an evening stroll by the garden, surrounded by fruit trees. We enjoyed our stay at the peaceful and relaxing environment.

Bill paid attention to EVERY detail! There were even water bottles next to the bed. Great communication, Bill went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. The house was immaculate!! We will be back next year!

The bed is soooo comfortable after a long day of Florida heat. Thank you Uncle Bill!

Bill is the perfect host and his place is just fab for a break in sunny Florida. Set amongst beautiful lakes an hour's drive NW of Orlando, Bill's house offers an oasis of calm from which to explore. There's plenty to do including fishing, cycling, sightseeing, boating, and, of course, the larger tourist attractions in Orlando. With such quality and choice in the numerous eateries nearby, it's also a gastronome's paradise. The house is very bright, spacious and well-equipped, and is kept very clean. Bill is a top chap who is very generous, conscientious, and kind, and who, with a very funny dry sense of humour, is great company. Bill knows the area very well and took the time to show me around. He also pampers his guests with morning coffee, smoothies and breakfast. Overall, all visitors chez Bill in Yalaha will enjoy the house, its location and Bill's hospitality. Highly recommended!

Bill is very warm and welcoming. He pays attention to details. His place is clean and immaculate. He has all your needs. His place is just a few blocks from the lake so its perfect for water activities. He even took me out fishing on his boat one weekend. Bill is smart and funny and has very interesting stories. You will enjoy intelligent conversation with him. I definitely recommend his place and will stay there again at every opportunity. In Bill I also gained a friend and not just a super host. More power to you Bill and I hope to see you again soon :)

Bill is fantastic. I will stay with Bill whenever I am in the area.

Very hospitable, very concerned about making us comfortable - super nice guy - great visit!

Bill was great, really friendly and helpful. Learned a lot about healthy breakfast drinks Rooms are clean and comfy.

Beautiful house by the lake. Great to relax and get in touch with nature. The house has all amenities one could need and very historical, vintage feel. The hosts were friendly and quick to answer questions or any worries you might have. I highly recommend it and would go again

Absolutely wonderful welcome-super clean, well-appointed home with updated decor, yet maintaining old-time charm of a lake house from the 1920's. Welcome bottle of wine, as well!! Every member of our family was thrilled with the home and setting:I couldn't imagine a better view!! We watched several sunsets on the swing by the lakeshore, steps from the house. Lovely neighbors, great neighborhood (peacock family next door!!!!). Perfect location near Orlando, but away from the madness. There was something I needed to contact the owner about (this issue was just an everyday thing that sometimes comes up, and was not in any way a fault of the owner). I received a prompt response, the issue was addressed, and I got a follow-up check-in. In all, this was the best rental I've ever stayed in. Absolutely will be back!!!

This was a beautiful home with everything we needed and the utmost cleanliness. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a quiet and enjoyable place to call home.

Awesome clean, comfortable, and serene home, away from everything resembling stress! Highly recommended for disconnecting from world.

The house is charming and very clean. It has lovely wood floors, nice furniture and decorations. The bedrooms were all nice and spacious with one room set up for children. The kitchen has the original metal cabinetry which was a pleasant surprise. The laundry on the back porch was very convenient with children along. We loved the location with the view to the lake out the windows on the closed in porch. It was our favorite room, the view was so nice we didn't even use the television. We were able to take walks as the neighborhood is very quiet and has little traffic. We were able to go into town and get all of the supplies that we needed. The house had all the basic items for us, we just needed to get food for the family. The swing by the lake was a favorite spot for all of the family to enjoy. The children liked to go to the lakes edge and watch the fish jumping in the mornings as well as watching the boats and the waves that they made. No issues with any thing in the house, everything worked and the house looked like the pictures. If we actually lived closer we would have enjoyed staying here again in the future and I will recommend it to any one going to that area.

House was very welcoming with a bottle of wine and glasses on table. (We didn't drink it though). guest book was visible with prior guest comments. Decor and furnishings were very appropriate for the house. Felt very homelike and inviting. 3 bedrooms were good for a family weekend. The view of the lake was wonderful and the area very peaceful. Hosts were readily available to assist with a few minor issues we had. We loved being able to use the pool at the beautiful Mission Inn Resort a few minutes away. And we were able to launch our boat at Hickory Pointe which was also close by. Yalaha Bakery, grocery stores and restaurants were also convenient. My first time visiting this part of Florida. I will return.

philip and his family were so kind and caring, they help us a lot! being our first time in the country they were always open to talk. the bedroom is great, very comfortable.. with an amazing view , close to the lake and the golf academy. highly recomended!

If you enjoy the country and looking for a quiet vacation this is it.

Had a fantastic stay with Puqui, Albert and their two sweet little girls, Evelyn and Esme. Great communication before and throughout the process. The room is exactly as shown and their lovely home is in a quiet, newer subdivision in Leesburg. Very peaceful, easy to find and safe. Puqui accepted my last minute reservation and accommodated me so gracefully. She is an excellent host; genuinely kind, thoughtful and flexible. She made the stay very much feel like staying with a family friend. Though they have two (absolutely adorable!) little girls, their home is amazingly quiet! While this isn't something I need, if it is for you, know that you'll have no shortage of peace in your bedroom and ensuite in a separate area of the house. I will absolutely seek to stay with them again when I am next in the area.

It was a delight staying with Puqui and her family. Her two daughters were great. Only staying for a short time, Puqui was more than hospitable and offered to provide anything if needed. The room was great along with connecting bathroom. Would highly recommend!

Great, flexible, helpful, and friendly folks. Three adorable, well mannered children. Beautiful home. The bedroom and bathroom were perfect and clean. Absolutely loved our stay and totally recommend for anyone looking to stay in the Leesburg area.

If you like children, you'll love this household with three of the most adorable children around. They made my stay feel like visiting family.

What a great experience! And such a beautiful family! Honestly, we were a bit nervous as this was our first airbnb experience. Puqui and her family quickly put us at ease and were so hospitable and kind. They were available if/when we needed and gave us plenty of space/time to rest and relax. Definitely felt that we could be good friends if we lived closer!(our kids are the same ages). Awesome, awesome experience.

The host canceled this reservation 62 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Even though they were very very nice, I wouldn't stay with them again, simply because room was very warm, noise level a little high for our taste, the a/c vent was shut on our room and my husband had to stand on our cooler to open it, naturally it took hours to cool off, and we weren't able to get into the room until almost 5:00 bc no one was home till then, even though we were promised 2 or 3:00. We had to kill time in the area.

Kim and Mary Ann are the most thoughtful hosts. They didn't just provide a quiet and quaint cottage but they created a wonderful experience for us. They truly want you to be comfortable and have everything that will make this feel like home even if it's just for a few days. The cottage is so close to Mount Dora, Eustis, Tavares, etc. The perfect location. We will return without a doubt!

The cottage is very private and extremely quiet offering a connection to wildlife and disconnection from everyday distractions. It was clean and eclectically decorated giving the cottage a quaint feeling.

What a fantastic experience from start to finish! Kimberly was quick with responses to all inquiries and communicative before we arrived. Once we pulled in we immediately felt at home. It's great to have a private parking place right next to the cottage. The cottage was clean, welcoming, and filled with all the amenities needed for a one-weekend or three-month stay (or anywhere in between), with a few unexpected treats for both us and our pup Bandit :) The bed was comfortable, it was great to have a DVD player and big tv, and we really enjoyed cooking a few meals at the cottage. The neighborhood is dog-friendly with plenty of low traffic areas for walks. We didn't bring our bicycles this time but noticed lots of paths and nice wide bike lanes. Great location for outdoor / boating / kayaking fun.

If you are thinking about saying here don't give it a second thought! Kim and Mary Ann are wonderful hosts we arrived late and they had the cottages all ready for us as well and a few treats. They checked on us making sure we had everything we needed

We had a great time in mt dora and the cottage was perfect for a romantic time away. Will definitely return in the future!

Adorable cottage. Quiet location. Very considerate host!

This is a beautiful, clean, well-cared for spot. It was the perfect weekend getaway while visiting the Mt. Dora area. Kimberly was a gracious hostess. All the amenities and homey touches were perfect! Would definitely book again.

Kimberly's Cottage is a great place for couples - place was clean and homely exactly as advertised. First airbnb stay was a great one - thanks Kimberly.

Regina's place was great! We wanted a comfortable, quiet place to relax after a day of shopping at the Renninger's Extravaganza in Mt. Dora. The place was clean and well-appointed. Regina gave us great instructions and was close by to help if needed. We would definitely stay there again if we are in the area.

Love this house. Regina was on point with communication. Went out of her way to add a extra night for us with short notice. Located on Little Lake Harris. Great place to stay if your Fishng the Harris Chain of Lakes

A great little place, lovely extra touches such as providing coffee and tea to last until we got to a shop. Great communication, thank you!

Very peaceful

We didn't meet Regina, but the communication was perfect. The apartment was clean and comfortable, especially memory foam mattress was a plus. The location is great from our point of view. The neighborhood is quiet, so if you want a place where you can here your thoughts, you've just found it!

Regina was a splendid host, and her place was perfect. If you're considering staying in the area, this is definitely the spot!

Nice comfortable stay for family of 4. Regina was nice. We had great time.

Very quite area and stay easy drive to clermont.

Wonderful quiet home. You're in a quiet neighborhood but close to everything.

A cute private apartment that feels like home.

Our stay in Leesburg was fantastic. Cute and very clean little apartment with absolute private feeling. Equipped with everything you need. Perfect and very nice hosts ! We will come back !

Kimi's place was beautiful. Very comfortable, cozy, and relaxing. We also stopped by the veterans park which is walking distance from the house and has gorgeous nature trails and views. Would definitely stay again!

Every little detail is taken care of. You may not need a mini-food processor, but if you do it is there. The place is decorated with charm and everything is great quality. Kimi is welcoming and friendly. Every little detail is covered. The location was great for the storytelling festival in Mount Dora and we took a seaplane trip in Tavares. It is great to have your expectations exceeded. Thanks for the great stay.

This is a great place to stay. Kimi and Scott are very helpful and their home is lovely. We were visiting family in the Leesburg area and the location was very convenient.

Enjoyed my stay here. The hosts were very nice and accommodating.

Kimi was a great host during our stay. She made sure we were comfortable and had anything that we needed. The apartment is cute and cozy and it feels like you're right at home. I walked down to the lake and caught the sunrise every morning of our trip. Such a beautiful spot. We will stay here again if we are back in town!

This location was ideal as my parents and sister live in the same 55+ community... The pool and hot tub was awesome! Pat's Place is a great place to stay - we had 6 folks in the place for 3 of the 8 nights

The location of this was perfect for us. We wanted to see the 55+ community and this let us be right in the middle of it and a part of things. It was wonderful. I don't think they were quite ready for guests or it would have been a higher rating. They were still remodeling parts of the home with some unfinished work in the house. But it was decorated nicely and a perfect setting. It didn't have a toaster or microwave, but that may be coming as part of the remodeling. We would gladly stay again in the future, and I am sure it will be a 5 rating as soon as they get the remodeling finished.

This is a beautiful house, the view is wonderful and Dulcie and Cleve were great. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would love to make it back one day.

Dulcie and Cleve are such wonderful host. Their response time was quick and very helpful. The lakeside cottage was incredible. It was just as pictured and described. We loved every minute of our stay and would highly recommend this rental to anyone. It was roomy, clean, accommodating and extremely relaxing & comfortable. Just can't say enough about how much we enjoyed it! Thank you Dulcie and Cleve for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Great location, great stay, and super great host, looking forward to staying again soon!!!!!!!!

Beautiful neighborhood, very quiet place to stay. Absolutely wonderfuls hosts who we met in Tavares. Beautiful views, the lake is amazing at night! We shared with our new friends some very nice moments. Thank you so much for your hospitality! We would love to come back here! Very nice town, a lot of thing to do and see. This is a great place for any family. Everything is here to spend a very great time!

Loved the beds--extremely comfortable! We loved the outdoor spaces--a screened-in porch AND dock AND beach with chairs at all three! That was such a big bonus! This home is so cute with extra touches and decor; I would stay here over and over again.

If you want to stay in a lake front home and haven't decided on one yet, look no further. This home sits on a pice of property that is almost center of the lake. It provides great sun rise and moon rise views across the lake. It's beautiful to see the moon shining in the water. This place is a total package. The landscaping is nice, the exterior of the home is well taken care of, the interior is more than comfortable with nice reclining furniture, the mattress on the beds are not wore out, there are plenty of good dishes, pots and pans and you only need to bring your clothes and tooth brushes. I would add food but there are plenty of hidden water front restaurants for delivery or take out. If relaxation is what you want this place is it and the fishing is good too! The owners are Great people! They are friendly but they want bother you. They will help you with whatever you need. We were here ten nights and truly hate to leave. We Highly Recemend this home! I should add it has a beautiful patio over looking the lake with nice comfortable furniture, a white sand beach with beach chairs and umbrella and nice dock with a new boat lift.

What an incredible place! The home was beautiful, spacious, and updated. Such an incredible view across Lake Dora from the lush green back yard and huge magnolia tree. The beach area was perfect and if you have a boat, bring it along! The private dock was well maintained and included a lift. They are just around the corner from the very scenic Dora canal known as the most beautiful mile of water in the world. Situated on the Harris chain of lakes, provides boating access to seemly limitless waterways from the dock! A free Boat Launch just minutes from the house is at Wooton Park on Lake Dora which also has small seaplanes landing there too, very cool to see them take off and land. Wooten Park also has free boat dockage to catch a quick lunch or dinner in downtown Tavares, just a few steps from the dock. As well, Mt. Dora also as similar dockage and access across the lake. Dulcie & Cleve are incredible hosts, very knowledgeable of the area, and provide great recommendations for local activities, events, and restaurants. We highly recommend this beautiful “Old Florida” location with all the modern comforts of home!

What an outstanding experience it has been to stay at this beautiful cozy lakefront cottage. The house was so tastefully arranged and decorated, it felt like home right away. We enjoyed every second of our stay with every square inch of the cottage. From the living space with the oversized tv to the fully equipped kitchen, from the two comfortable bedrooms -Cleve even fixed the 2 single beds into a queen size to accommodate my wife and I- to the wonderful ultra spacious screened patio, from the two well appointed bathrooms to the coach den overlooking the garden going down to the deck on the lake. But what made this experience beyond outstanding were our most charming and welcoming hosts Dulcie and Cleve. Not only did it feel like a home away from home, but like a family away from our family. Need I add I highly recommend the Pickens hideaway on the lake? But please, check with us 1st, because we'll be back!.
