The master bedroom has a king sized bed, full bath and a sitting area with TV. A second bedroom has twin beds and it’s own full bath with shower and separate door to the outside. The large back porch overlooks a huge fenced in yard overlooking Lake Franklin and is a great place to relax in the morning with a cup of tea or coffee or have a cocktail in the afternoon. The house is shaded by large oak trees that keep the house cool and comfy. A washer and dryer is also available for your use. Lake Franklin is a private lake and a Great Lake to fish or canoe or kayak in. I don’t have kayaks at this time but feel free to bring your own.

Great location. Close to downtown Mt Dora. Property was cute, clean and well maintained. The host was quick to respond to all messages and left a very detailed message about check in procedures and things to do in area. Very pleasant experience.
Wanted to see Mt Dora at Christmas time. House we stayed at was perfect. Very clean , quiet location, had everything we needed. We highly recommend this property.owners were very easy to talk to n work with.
This was our third time staying here. Perfect annual Christmas getaway. Close to town. Clean cottage. Great yard. Peaceful. Looking forward to staying again next year!
Easy to find, good location to downtown Mt. Dora. Extremely comfortable bed! Lovely screened porch to enjoy watching all the birds. Would definitely stay here again is I returned to the area.
Loved the location of this property. Literally a 2 minute walk to 3 different restaurants and not far from downtown. Home was super clean. Check in/check out was super easy and smooth and communication with host was excellent.
First of all, Jaime is an awesome host. This is our second time staying here. It is located in a quiet area. The place is always so clean and welcoming. We had a very relaxing time. We really liked sitting at the dining room table while eating breakfast and watching the
many different birds.
Walking in the door, my Mother and I said, how lovely. My husband and Father said, Wow!
Lovely screened porch overlooking a large garden setting back yard.
AND THE CLEANEST HOUSE EVER!
Loved all the birds in the morning and early evening with all the bird feeders. Porch is so comfy and peaceful. Taxi into town was fun. Very clean, bed comfy. Only complaint wish there was a small TV in the other bedroom. Jamiee was very responsive.
This well equipped 2 bedroom ground floor apartment included a lovely screened back patio opening onto a garden full of bird feeders and beautifully maintained.
We were walking distance to a vibrant downtown area, with historic buildings, interesting shops, many wonderful restaurants and a lovely lake shore park. We had a wonderful time in Mt Dors
Perfect getaway with our two pups. Clean, comfortable cottage. Walking distance to town.
This is our second visit and will become a yearly visit with our dogs.
This stay was amazing! My boyfriend and I stayed at junes home and it was so peaceful and beautiful, she was very sweet and helpful.
We brought our 3 dogs on this trip and they loved the backyard very big! Looking forward to coming back again for our next visit!
My husband, my sister and I agree - your place is above outstanding! The pleasure of sitting on the porch, enjoying the birds as they came to the feeders, relaxing in the serene setting was outstanding. Inside was perfectly decorated and comfortable, everything looked new and well kept, very comfortable beds and linens, fully equipped kitchen - each touch was beautifully coordinated. This was the most carefully decorated and comfortable of any rental we have experienced, with the most appealing porch view. Location is outstanding, easy to reach local destinations. Mt. Dora is a visitors’ delight. The Host’s communications were outstanding - clear, helpful and complete. We could not be more pleased! The Woods
This property is lovely, both inside and outside. We loved sitting on the back porch and watching all of the wildlife. It was close enough to town to walk, but we enjoyed taking the free shuttle ride too. We plan to come stay again very soon!
We spent most of our time in the back porch enjoying the birds and butterflies! Such a relaxing backyard. Took the taxi out to dinner which was great cause we didn’t have to find a place to park. Shopping and the food in Mt Dora was great. Would definitely come back again.
Perfect location and cute house with wonderful gardens.

About the host
Hosted by Jaimee
I am retired and moved to Florida full time in January 2020. I am an avid gardener and you will see many gardens on the property with butterflies and hummingbirds sipping nectar. I now live in the front unit of the duplex so I am on hand if you have any questions or issues.
Why they chose this property
I loved the location of this property. I wanted to be able to walk to downtown for all of the festivals, shopping and restaurants. Mt. Dora is an adorable small town with lots of charm. I had the back yard behind the fence cleared of brush and grass to have a view of the lake with so much nature right in the back yard.
What makes this property unique
Quiet neighborhood with lots of privacy and a pretty setting.
