Very cute accommodation, big parking space on the property. It's very close, less than a 5-minute drive to the center of Mount Dora. Very thoughtful and reasonably priced snacks and drinks are available. It was quiet, and we slept amazingly. Highly recommend this accommodation. We went to two different springs from here and just spent some time in the cute Mount Dora city center.

The property is excellently located close to downtown Mount Dora and overall, the stay was good. Check in and out was super easy, the room is easily accessible, beds were super comfy. We just felt that our particular room was not accurately represented in the photos. We understand that it is an older property but things felt a little more run down than expected. Overall, it was good for the weekend trip and we enjoyed our stay.

We loved our room, the Victoria Rose. As a studio, it had a beautiful bedroom and nice living room with a couch/sofa bed and 65 inch TV with free Netflix. We loved our private screened porch! The bed was very comfortable, and we slept well. It was just a weekend trip, but we had a wonderful time and will not hesitate to visit the Estate at Mount Dora again. We highly recommend it!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property has a beautiful, peaceful vibe and lots of character, and the location is perfect for spending time in Mount Dora. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for our visit. We didn’t have any direct contact with the hosts, but everything was smooth and easy, and the stay felt relaxed and pleasant. We’d be happy to stay here again.
