Enjoyed our stay at this quaint property. Didn't really mind that no staff is actually on-site; it's makes for a secluded, quiet stay. Room was large and well-appointed.

Reservation messed up!!!!

What is below a 1for eating. Hotel showed us booking through Expedia but we did not and booked through hotels.com we booked a Friday night stay they saved a Monday night stay and did nothing to assist us. If fact just told us that we have to cancel 5 days in advance on dates we didn’t even book. Beyond frustrated with Leo who failed to listen or assist us!!! Stay away from this facility and staff.

Good Place, great location, great price.

Everything was good, except the poor water pressure. Also it took a long time to get hot water. Location was great, maybe update to porch furniture.

Three of us stayed in the Magnolia suite for 2 nights. It has two separate rooms for the bed and a nice little kitchenette area and private porch. The shower is on the smaller side and the water temperature is a little temperamental, but once you figure out how to maneuver it, the shower was pleasant. We enjoyed the location and walked to downtown Mount Dora to shop and eat. I paid for early arrival which worked out nicely. We never saw any staff on site, but we didn’t need anything and the anonymity was nice. All three of us would stay here again.
