Title: Perfect Getaway in The Fisherman’s Cottage

We had an amazing stay at this property! The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Even fish themed snacks in the fridge! The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and we loved the sheets and pillows. Peaceful outdoor space — perfect for morning coffee or evening wine.The location was ideal, close to downtown Mount Dora and all the great shops and restaurants. Communication with the Liz and Lee was smooth and prompt, and check-in was super easy.We truly felt like we were at a home away from home. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area!

We stayed in Fisherman’s Cottage for 2 nights at the end of our stay in Florida, We wish had found this gem earlier in our trip. The cottage is stunning and beautifully decorated and adorned with amazing fish related artwork. Appliances were all high end as was the bedding and all was spotlessly clean. The cottage is a 10 minute walk to the main centre of Mount Dora where you find plenty of restaurants and bars, and access to Lake Dora, where a boat tour is well worth doing. Mount Dora is a lovely place to visit and would not hesitate to recommend Fisherman’s Cottage as a great place to stay. Liz and Lee are delightful hosts, nothing too much trouble for this fabulous couple .

Well equipped & Clean !

We were amazed how lovely the cottage was and so clean and stocked with everything you can imagine. Liz is over the top friendly and makes sure your stay will be wonderful making sure we had all we needed. We went to Leesburgh bike fest, which was only 15 minutes away. Everything else in town was walking distance. We happen to be there at the same time as the blueberry festival and that was very charming as well. We would definitely return to this cottage as the hospitality, the Cleanliness and most of all the artsy decor, especially finding some hidden gems! Loved it !

It’s even better than we thought…

It’s not often that you get to go somewhere that is highly rated, that exceeds your expectations, but this was it. First of all the host was top notch with communication, not too much but just the right amount. The property is located a couple of minutes away from downtown and the antique market. Every detail of the cottage is well thought out and it makes it hard to want to leave. So much thought and love went into the care of the Fisherman's cottage and our experience was so great that I would only consider staying at the host property if I return to Mount Dora.
