The cottage lives up to it's name
Stayed for two nights and really loved the property. Very clear communication made check-in a breeze. The kitchen is very well equipped and the assortment of musical instruments brought out our creative side. Location doesn't get better. We'll definitely be back again!

A month in Mt. Dora
We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful, quaint town of Mt. Dora. Walking to the town center was easy from our cottage. Our hosts were more than accommodating. We r visiting again next winter. We will be staying at their Modern Tree House property next year.

The Wow Cottage
We so enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Unbelievable decor, and such special detail for every spot in the house. Every turn you make you find something new that makes this house very special. It is equipped with everything you need. The location is wonderful. It is five minutes from town and all the great restaurants.
This is our second time staying in properties that are hosted by Liz and Lee and I must say every time has been an adventure. Thank you so much for a great time and we hope to see you again later this year.

This is truly a WOW cottage!!
We recently stayed at "The Cottage That Makes You Go, 'WOW!'" and I can confidently say that it exceeded all my expectations in every way possible. From the moment we arrived, to the day we sadly left the wows kept coming from this picturesque 1922 cottage nestled in the heart of Mount Dora's Historic District. This 1922 cottage seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern convenience. The owners, who also brought us "The Modern Tree House" and "The Fisherman's Cottage," have left no detail unattended. The cottage boasts state-of-the-art amenities, including motion-sensor trash cans and stainless steel appliances. Antique instruments, a 1904 baby grand piano, and Mackenzie-Childs art accents add character. Wooden shutters, original art, and quirky lighting make this meticulously restored home feel like a work of art. The bedrooms, including a master with en suite bathroom and a guest room with a stunning bed, are luxurious. The fully-stocked kitchen with granite countertops and Luna Garcia pottery is a delight. The living room features the most comfortable couch ever. Located within walking distance of Mount Dora's shops, cafes, parks, and more, this cottage offers the best of both worlds. In summary, "The Cottage That Makes You Go, 'WOW!'" is a true gem in the heart of Mount Dora. If you're looking for a luxurious and unforgettable getaway, look no further. The five-star owners have created something truly exceptional, and I can't wait to return for another stay.

There aren't enough character spaces to share all of the amazing aspects of this phenomenal cottage! Liz and Lee's hospitality and generosity are unmatched, and we've already got two more visits booked. If this is on your 'maybe' list, make it a 'YES' today!
