Very cute accommodation, big parking space on the property. It's very close, less than a 5-minute drive to the center of Mount Dora. Very thoughtful and reasonably priced snacks and drinks are available. It was quiet, and we slept amazingly. Highly recommend this accommodation. We went to two different springs from here and just spent some time in the cute Mount Dora city center.

The property is excellently located close to downtown Mount Dora and overall, the stay was good. Check in and out was super easy, the room is easily accessible, beds were super comfy. We just felt that our particular room was not accurately represented in the photos. We understand that it is an older property but things felt a little more run down than expected. Overall, it was good for the weekend trip and we enjoyed our stay.

The Willow suite was clean and comfortable. It is under another room and unfortunately for us a family with a toddler was above us and the toddler woke us up at 7 am running back and forth for a long time. You can hear everything going on above you. It was a quant and cute property. Not within walking distance of downtown Mt Dora but close enough to use the Freebie app.

We loved our room, the Victoria Rose. As a studio, it had a beautiful bedroom and nice living room with a couch/sofa bed and 65 inch TV with free Netflix. We loved our private screened porch! The bed was very comfortable, and we slept well. It was just a weekend trip, but we had a wonderful time and will not hesitate to visit the Estate at Mount Dora again. We highly recommend it!
