Great stay

This is the third time we have stayed at the WOW house. We know what to expect and it does not disappoint, Very well appointed, good location, and owners go out of their way to make us feel welcome.

Great little house

Loved this place. Very quirky with lots of interesting curios. It was well equipped with every convenience and gadget you could think of. 10 minute walk into town. Lovely back yard dining area and porch at the front. Great WiFi. The owners were very helpful and quick to respond to any messages.

Definitely WOW!

House was so quaint and cozy, and definitely a WOW experience from the decor to the rooms. Liz the host was GREAT! She was interactive with me and surprised us with goodies for my best friend's birthday. It was only 5 blocks from downtown therefore we never even used our car and enjoyed the downtown experience just as much. Very nice town and would definitely go back again and recommend this house to adults who want a quiet and cozy getaway. THANK YOU Liz!

The best "WOW" stay ever!

We stay at the "WOW" cottage every year in October for the arts and craft festival in downtown Mt. Dora. The house is amazingly decorated with beautiful art of all mediums. The cottage is fully stocked with everything you could need from kitchen items to all household needs. It is clean, comfortable, and inviting. We love sitting on the front porch and having a BBQ in the back yard. The location is perfect for walking into quaint downtown. The local restaurants have a variety of offers and great shopping. We look forward to this stay every year. Thank you Liz and Lee for your warm hospitality.

Fantastic!

Property and furnishings were amazing. Exceeded my expectations - probably the best VRBO experience we have had. Location is walking distance from the Town. The host went above and beyond. Cant say enough good things about this WOW cottage! We will be back for a longer stay next time!

It was a Wow

This was a great house. Perfect location. The hosts were very nice with a welcome card wishing us happy anniversary. Just looking at all the art or trying an instrument made it fun. We will be back.

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 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!

The BEST!

This place is so much more than a cottage! Once inside you feel like you've stepped into a true vacation home, stocked with anything you could possibly need. Quirky and fun! The Master bedroom and sitting room made you feel like Royalty. The hosts have a spirit of excellence and couldn't be more attentive. I'm so grateful we chose the WOW Cottage to celebrate our 45th Anniversary week! If we ever return to Mt Dora we will definitely be returning to this treasure!
