I thought the transformation of the barn was very uniquely done. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Love the coffee area . Restaurants and shopping are close by.

This property was convenient to downtown, had ample parking, and was in a quiet neighborhood. Text communication (with owner?) was good and directions for entry and internet connection were thorough. Beds were comfortable. We were surprised to learn that we were on the second floor, so if this is an issue for you, ask in advance of booking. There appeared to be 9 units at this property.. A charming looking older house and a building behind the house. We stayed on the 2nd floor of the building behind the house.

Exceeds Expectations
We spent two nights for NYE 2023-2024 and loved it here. Our space was bigger than we anticipated for the price we paid and loved that the main house and individual rooms had their own keyless entry. A super comfy king bed and a modern BIG TV with Netflix & YouTube TV accounts already logged in was a nice bonus, even though we didn't spend a lot time watching TV when in the room. Other apps available if you're willing to log into your own accounts. Spacious kitchenette and well stocked coffee/tea bar with Keurig or carafe options. HUGE and beautiful common areas downstairs and a shared veranda with one other room upstairs (at least we believed it was shared with the adjacent room). Outside sported a swing bench and hammock on a mostly quiet, tree canopied road that leads directly into the attractive heart of downtown Mount Dora. Mount Dora is beautiful anytime of year but especially so with the magic of Christmas. The Estate is within walking distance of three good restaurants and downtown, if you're up for the mile-long jaunt. Owners checked in on us regularly via SMS but not annoyingly. We will definitely book here again.

We had a charming efficiency room ("Lily") in the carriage house. While the bathroom could use an update, it was very well appointed, as was the entire room and kitchenette. Clean, comfortable, and quaint. Best of all, the management truly cares about their guests' comfort and satisfaction. When an issue popped up on our first morning, Stephen took care of it immediately and went above and beyond for us. We would gladly stay here again!
