About this property

Lake Vibes Only Property~ Never miss a sunset, the views from the windows are fabulous! Take a nice walk down to the lake and enjoy coffee from the dock or a morning paddle in one of our kayaks. Quirky yet charming, this 1952 cottage was once a Fish Camp. The original home was less than 150 sq ft, just large enough for a couple cots. Over the years space for a kitchen and full bathroom were added and eventually the front patio was enclosed. Now celebrating its 70th birthday, this holiday home has been fully renovated, eclectically decorated and includes plenty of fresh linens, kitchen essentials, coffee, wi-fi, and an outdoor grill and private patio facing the Lake.
Traveling with a large group? We have 4 additional cottages available on this property. Sunset (9459905) and Sunrise (2011321) Cottage are each 2 bedroom, 1 bath and sleep up to 4 each. Firefly Cottage (1723316) is a 2 bedroom 2 bath and will sleep up to 8, and lastly Lakey Daze Cottage(2394935) is a 3 bedroom 3 bath and will sleep up to 13.

Quiet getaway during the holidays

We liked the cottage and the access to the dock for fishing. The neighborhood is quiet but close to Tavares and Mount Dora downtowns for Christmas and restaurants. We come up to the area at least yearly and would stay again when in the area.

Fantastic!

This lovely cottage exceeded our expectations. If I could give it 10 out of 5 stars I would. Perfect for two people – I kayaked every morning – after enjoying coffee from the dock. The property is tranquil. Lake Ola is gorgeous. We’d end our day stargazing in the rocking chairs on the porch, or on the dock. The cottage is spotless. Keurig coffee maker, and a comfortable size kitchen with all we needed. I think it’s the cleanest VRBO I have ever stayed at. The bed was so comfortable – we slept great. Finally there is a super cool bonus cat that visited the property outside - he must’ve lived somewhere near the cottage…very sweet. The host was also great and communicated quickly and clearly. We will book again!

Amazing Cottage for a Weekend Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in Mount Dora more than we ever expected! The cottage was perfect and the word I kept coming back to was whimsical! Lightning, our personal greeter was an added highlight to the weekend! The town was quaint yet there was a lot to do and see. We will definitely be back, and when we do, we would love to stay here again!

Very Happy to stay here.

The landlady was very generous. Because of the heavy rains before our arrival she upgraded us up to larger cottage. The only small issue was town was a 10 minute drive.

Anniversary weekend

Bobbi was a great host. The place was clean and close to mount Dora. Unfortunately due to conditions from the hurricanes we were unable to access the lake and some other stuff .Bobbi did do her best to accommodate us. We would stay again under better circumstances to try to enjoy the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Bobbi Bain

I grew up in Florida and fell in love with Mt Dora when we moved to the area in 2014. As a local Realtor, I have a natural love for real estate! My husband is a touring musician, entertainer and pretty much travels for a living. Getting into Vacation rentals was a natural fit for both of us! We love to entertain and make our guests comfortable

Why they chose this property

When this property became available in the Spring of 2019, we were immediately intrigued! We live in the area and have looked at homes on this lake for sometime. What an incredible opportunity to share this unique property and the joy of Lake Life with others! On over 2 acres, there is plenty of room to for multiple vacationers to get away.

What makes this property unique

Who wouldn’t want to stay on a beautiful spring fed private lake just a short drive from downtown Mt Dora!! Better yet, bring your friends and family! With a total of 5 different rentals, we have the ability to sleep up to 30 guests! This is the perfect place for a family reunion, team retreat, or even a small wedding!
