We had a wonderful stay in this charming, clean historic home, perfectly located within walking distance of shops and restaurants. It was incredibly comfortable, and we loved being able to explore everything on foot. The host was flexible, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which made the experience even better. A perfect spot for a girls’ trip!

This beautiful home built in 1887 is such a cool place to stay if you’re visiting Mount Dora! Conveniently located to downtown so you can walk to everything if you like. Beautiful front porch makes for great people watching as well, as the home faces a main thoroughfare. The host has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable, from plenty of surge protectors to charge all of your devices, hooks on the back of every door, extra blankets, an Amazon Echo device to play music, and checking in and out was an absolute breeze. Stop looking and book 1887 Royellou!
Beautiful lake less than half a mile away!

Overall, the house was very beautiful and we could certainly tell that the owner had spent a lot of money on it. The only reason I did not give it five stars is I am a handicap veteran and I booked the house because of the nice ramp going in the back and the website promising handicap accessibility The toughest thing for me was taking a shower with no grip rails and the small commode.

This is a great house! It has been completely renovated so while keeping the aesthetic appeal of its 1887 age, it feels like you are in a modern house with very comfortable amenities. The host greeted us upon arrival and made us feel welcome. Beds are comfy and the location is ideal. You could walk to downtown Mt Dora from this location. Front bedroom is a little noisy, so bring ear plugs and you’ll sleep fine. We enjoyed our stay at 1887 Royellou House!

I loved the historic home and its location that enabled us to walk into town and to the park. Fun place to visit over the holidays because of the lights and shopping. The upstairs AC unit was not working but the host was prompt to get it working again. The beds were very comfortable. We love to cook and my only issue with the house was that pots and pans are very old and scratched up and cannot be be used safely. I did tell the owner about this.
