Heaven in a Hurricane
I left Pinellas County Florida before Hurricane Milton to find a safe inland place. Wendy's place was next to my step son and I was able to book it as others were leaving. The BEST stay I have ever had.. Place is clean and beautiful. Close to downtown , walking to see sunset every evening!! Porch makes it nice for morning and afternoons outside. Wendy and her husband are close and responsive...I will be back when no Hurricane threat!! Thanks Wendy!!

Perfect location and Super cute house
Stayed here over the weekend with family to attend/work the Renaissance Fair. The house was absolutely perfect for our needs. After long days on our feet, we enjoyed nice showers, a comfy living room to spend time together, and very comfortable beds to recharge for the next day. The house was clean and inviting. We felt very at home here. We will definitely stay here again.

Everything we hoped for and more.
We arrived at the property after a two hour drive in the rain, looked up at the porch and saw welcoming rocking chairs. Our stress level immediately went away. Entering the home, we immediately appreciated the comfortable living room, spacious bedrooms and well-appointed kitchen. This home has been loved by it's owners and it shows in the cleanliness and decorations. The front porch was a wonderful coffee and relaxation spot to view the tree lined street. This home has a great location to down town, close enough to walk but far enough away to enjoy the quiet. We will be back again!

Absolutely the best
Could not have had a better stay. This house is perfect if you want to stroll around Mt. Dora. You'll have everything you need, too if you want to stay home. I appreciated having a little wiggle room with extra towels and cleaning products. The neighborhood is quiet and great for sitting outside. Wendy is the kind of host that short term rentals were in the beginning. You get the feeling of being welcomed into a home. Just the best.

Rocking Front porch coffee and wine.
The owner was very helpful and responsive. Seasonal decorations, very clean, kitchen well stocked with dishes and kitchen tools. Nice convenient touches like a pair of scissors, some keurig cups and Halloween candy, a charging station with all necessary adapters. Additional towels in the linen closet, scotch tape, dish soap. A notebook full of local restaurants, things to do, and important local services. The 4 rocking chairs on the front porch were so perfect for morning coffee and evening wine. Dog walkers friendly and happy to answer questions about Mt Dora. Back yard is fenced. All beds comfortable. VERY positive experience.
