Dora's Lakeside 1940's Fish Camp Cottage | Cottage in Mount Dora
1 Bedroom Cottage in Mount Dora
We renovated our lakeside vintage cottage with comfort and privacy in mind. The Cottage is detached from the main home with a enclosed private patio great for keeping your bikes or gear secured or to hang your wet bathing suit after a day at the beautiful Mineral Springs. It is a bird watchers paradise! The many colorful species will serenade you every morning while you have your coffee taking in the show at the bird feeders and the bird bath. Our half acre property has tropical fruit trees, a veg garden, beautiful native florals, butterflies and comedic squirrels. Get away from the big city rat race and relax "Old Florida" style.
THE SPACE....
Our guests ALWAYS compliment us on how CLEAN our cottage is. We take pride in our home and love to share our high standards with others. Many of our guests also rave about the COMFORT of our heated queen size bed in the bedroom with blackout curtains that will ensure a great nights sleep, and about the surprisingly super comfortable queen size sofa bed in the living room. Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen with everything you will need to prepare a delicious meal. We have an outdoor seating area under a shade tree with a partial view of the lake, where you can relax and enjoy the Florida weather. On those chilly winter nights (chilly by Florida standards...lol), we like to occasionally build a bon fire and get to know our guests if they choose to join us. We have all the latest technology; Fast reliable WIFI and an ethernet connection for those who are traveling remote workers. We live in an extremely safe neighborhood. We have safe parking, and security cameras throughout the exterior of the property for your safety. Our property is located one house behind Lake Dora's shore. Enjoy beautiful sunsets and the natural beauty of lake life.
GUEST ACCESS...
This is a half acre lot so outside the door there is a lot of green space. There are chairs to sit in and enjoy the sun and nature or just have morning coffee. One of the seating areas at the main entrance has a partial view of the lake across the street on Lakeshore Drive. There is a pool on the property but it is not available for guest use. It requires renovations to be compliant for guest use. It is for our private use only.
There are private boat docks all along Lake Dora that belong to our neighbors. We kindly ask our guests not to use them. We are thankful that our neighbors are supportive of us sharing our home with our guests, so we are very mindful of not intruding on their privacy or their private property. Guests are welcome to walk or bike ride along the lake on the public road. There are public spots for lake access that we will happy to share with you when you book.
SEASONAL COMFORTS...
We are diligent with pest control and for those pesky months we have mosquito lanterns and upon request, we can burn mosquito repellent coils for you while you're sitting outside. For winter we add a heated fitted mattress pad with dual controls on the bed and make sure you have extra bedding, in addition to remote control heaters. We have also installed thermal blackout curtains in the bedroom to keep your warm or extra cool during those hot summer nights. The AC's in the cottage also have a Dry settings to combat the Lakeside humidity especially during our wet season.
We have thought of everything for you! As lifetime Floridians we know the drill so you don't need to.
PARKING AND PROXIMITY TO DOWNTOWN MOUNT DORA...
No worries we provide free parking. Don't want to bother with the hassle of finding downtown parking? Take a 5 minute Uber ride downtown and enjoy seeing Mount Dora on a Segway or maybe a scenic boat tour. Or, how about a Seaplane Tour? It's all within 5 to 10 minutes away. If you're a bike riding enthusiast downtown is a 1 mile bike ride away.
