About this property

The Downtowner Cottage downtown Mt. Dora Location! Location! Location!

Located in the heart of the beautiful cozy town of Mt. Dora, you can just park the car and walk to all restaurants and shops. Could not be more well located than this! It is literally in the middle of downtown Mt. Dora. This cottage was built in 1948 and happens to be the only home located within the business district of downtown Mt. Dora. The (back unit) of the "Tiny House" offers everything you need to relax, enjoy the town and feel right at home. In the mornings, just walk a half block to Allyson Bakery, and get amazing coffee drinks. I must admit they have the best Oreo Cheesecake in the world! Don't feel like going out and about, just hang inside watching your favorite shows on Netflix and other channels. With so many restaurant options in downtown Mt. Dora, there will not be much time for cooking. But in case you decide to stay in, the kitchen comes fully equipped with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and coffee maker. For your convenience we also have a washer and dryer in the unit. Enjoy a glass of wine as you watch the sunset from your own private back balcony. The King size bed features memory foam mattress with Ritz Carlton type mattress topper. Warning!: It might be difficult to wake up in the mornings! : )

We love animals and we are pet friendly! Bring your pooch ( up to 30 lb.) along for the ride. Most businesses downtown Mt. Dora are pet friendly. There will be a non refundable $100 pet fee. A picture of the pet has to be sent prior booking for review and acceptance.

Wave and 1921 restaurants are located half block from this house. Las Palmas restaurant is located 1 block from this house. Modernism Museum is half block from this house. Maggie’s Attic is located 2 blocks from this house. This house is located one block from Donnelly Street and 4th Ave.

Parking for this unit is located on the driveway on the right hand side of the house. There is parking for only 1 car.

Being right downtown is great since once you park, you can just walk everywhere. But keep in mind, this house is located in an area where street closures happen during major Events. Streets are blocked from 6 PM on Fridays to late Sundays during these events. Events that causes street closures are: Mount Dora Arts Festival & Craft Fair, Christmas Walk and Light up Mount Dora. You will not be able to access the house by car during these times. You will have to park curbside near the house or use the following parking garages:

250 N Donnelly St (overnight parking) (2 minutes walk)
428 E 5th Ave (2 minutes walk)
400 Alexander St (3 minutes walk)
211 N Baker St (1 minute walk)

Fantastic!!

This place was awesome! Spotlessly clean and bigger than the pictures indicate. Huge deck was a real bonus. Location was a two minute walk to downtown with all the restaurants and shopping you could hope for. A plus!

Definitely right in the center of everything

Great location. I could just park the car at the property and walk to many restaurants shops and a charming walk along the short of the lake. Beautifully decorated and a large deck to sit outside and enjoy the eveningsProperty was as described. There were kitchen appliances, a stove but no pots and pans, which was OK with me because there are many restaurants in walking distance.

Great home base to explore Mount Dora

Nice, clean place to stay and a great location. We were here for the storytelling festival which was an easy 2 block walk away. Karen was very responsive to our needs. Had a great visit!

Great

Very clean accommodations. Great location—you can walk to everything in town. Karen supplied all the little extras like salt, pepper, sugar and water. Huge balcony and a little peek of the lake. We had the tiny cottage with a parking spot. Only downside was the bathroom, huge shower and thick towels but they had slotted pocket doors that didn’t allow for much privacy but would not deter us from staying there again. We enjoyed our stay very much

Great location!

The location to shops, dining, coffee is an easy stroll around the block. The property is clean and as advertised with all amenities needed. We ate out for all meals but the quaint kitchen looks well stocked. There is an amazing pastry/coffee shop around the corner that we visited each morning. Don’t miss out on this lovely rental!

Super cute and clean property! Perfect spot for walking around Mt Dora’s business district. The parking spot was a great feature and the deck was huge- we didn’t use it because August…lol. Our host was very clear and prompt with communication. We are already planning our return and having another couple rent the front cottage for a friends trip!

Tiny Little Gem Right Downtown!

Extremely clean little property right downtown. We walked everywhere…perfect location! The property is very small but worked great for the two of us! My only complaint would be the AC has a really hard time cooling the apartment and it might benefit with a ceiling fan in the bedroom. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Mt. Dora that is clean and convenient to everything, this is it!

Little disappointed

I struggled with deciding if I should leave a review after I left and recieved a email letting me know a $200 dollar damage payment was due. This was because my 8 pound yorkie who just had 6 bottom front teeth pulled out had chewed on the door and scratched the floor. I saw scratches on the floor but believed the chair did it because I saw where felt had fallen off the bottom of the leg. She's 7 years old and has never done this before and we travel a lot with her. Maybe she did so we asked for pictures and never got a response. Loved Mount Dora, place had good parking and location. Not a place to relax in for 2 people, only one chair not counting Kitchen chairs. Plug under nightstand needs replaced, my cpac plug would fall out. Will return to Mount Dora but will find a different place.

Photos of this place do not show how nice this rental is. Very clean and it is in a perfect location. It is close to everything but very private too. We could hear music from our deck and sunsets were beautiful. So comfortable and well managed. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
