A Great Get-A-Way

We enjoyed our 4-day stay. The house was clean and nicely decorated and located in a well-kept neighborhood with lots of trees and friendly neighbors. it is about 10 blocks from the town square which was a little far for us to walk but there is plenty of parking.Two thumbs-up!

Perfect weekend getaway

Quaint and cute, loved the decor, they had everything we needed even things we forgot like a hairdryer. Close to the historic district, you could walk but it’s a bit of a walk, so we drove parked for the day and came home. Close to plenr

New Years Trip

If you’re looking for a nice getaway in a quaint town, Mt Dora is the place. And the house we stayed at was perfect. It was small, but for two people it was great. The place had everything we needed from coffee and tea to shampoo! We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and even used the nice backyard and fire pit as it got cold at night. Downtown Mt Dora had a great New Year’s Eve celebration and we were able to walk from the house. Another plus for the house was it had parking which is not easy to find. Thanks Jessica for sharing your lovely home!

Mt Dora mini vacation with my dog

Mt Dora is a charming town with a great historic district, and our host house provided an also charming retreat while there. It’s a dog friendly house and Mt Dora is a dog friendly town. There are great trails nearby, and a boardwalk hike, over the water, that is a beautiful place to walk. Do pay attention to the Gator warning signs tho!

The cottage was in a quiet residential area with beautiful trees. It was clean and appointed with all the things needed in the bath and kitchen. The only drawback was the tv, the local stations were unavailable (for the Super Bowl game. We loved the downtown area and parks.

A great and comfortable place for a small family or 2 couples. The enclosed backyard was a bonus for our little dog, and it has ample space for family members to enjoy too.

Adorable Cottage

The cottage is very cute and is decorated perfectly for the house and the era. It actually reminded me of my grandparents place in Sarasota, so it brought on warm and comfortable feelings. Everything was provided, above and beyond. We brought food and enjoyed cooking in the kitchen that had everything. The backyard was friendly and had a great sitting area with a fire-pit. You will want to bring mosquito spray. After all, it's summer in Florida. We brought our 6 year old Bichon Frise, Auggie, that totally enjoyed hanging out with us day and night in the yard and we were comfortable because it was a safe place for him and total enclosed. The cottage is located in the historic district and the neighborhood is quaint with neat properties that added to the feeling of old Florida. It is "close" to downtown on E 11th Ave, but I would not enjoy walking to downtown in the summer heat. However, everything is a short drive. If you haven't been to Mt. Dora yet, you should definitely think about going. It was a lovely, relaxing weekend because of everything (unique shopping, delicious restaurants, beautiful views on the lakes, many parks, Farm Market on Sunday downtown. So peaceful and the locals are very friendly. Casa de Fior is the perfect places to stay as you explore and enjoy this charming town and this part of Florida. We will definitely go back again. Thank you Jessica!

Comfortable and cozy

Property was cute, clean and safe. Furnished to maximize the space and had everything we needed. Adorably decorated to keep the cottage appeal. Responsive owner. We will stay here when we come to town again. On a personal note, I would recommend putting blackout curtains in at least the front bedroom. It would help with the two windows to cut down on heat during the day and the street light at night. The AC works great, just a suggestion to conserve energy. Thank you.

Terrible experience

I really don't know where to begin. Maybe it's the plywood floor as you enter the home. Or the dirty cushions on the front porch rockers. Maybe it's the black stains on the inside of the front door. This home had microfiber cloths with black stains offered as washcloths. The bathroom contained a total of 4 bath towels which at one time were probably white. The bathroom did not have ANY hand towels, so I had to improvise and use paper towels. WE HAD TO GO AND PURCHASE LINENS. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! What's even better is when I contacted the owner she had someone drop off new linens and I had the honor of removing the price tags and laundering them. There were no dishcloths in the kitchen. I had to purchase those also. I was able to use 2 of the 4 kitchen towels to dry dishes, 2 of them were so stained I couldn't use. The kitchen utensil holder had dirt in it! We had a total of 2 teaspoons. Totally inadequate utensils. The back kitchen door would not totally close, thus we had small geckos in the house. The laundry was in a FILTHY garage and the only light was a table lamp that did not have a lampshade. We couldn't use the outdoor patio furniture as the cushions were so stained. I have been in contact with the owner and have forwarded photos of all of the above and she states she will have her cleaning crew look into the matter. The neighbors state she is at this house frequently so she is aware of the condition. It is my opinion this listing needs to be removed.
