This place couldn’t have been any better located.. wonderful view.. plenty of outdoor spots to relax.. quick drive or Uber into town.. we will be back!

Nice & relaxing place! Perfect for our quick trip!

We were looking for a quiet, comfortable and clean place for a weekend getaway and that’s what we got, along with convenient access to the boat dock, kayak, and good fishing. The quaint cottage is equipped with all the modern comforts that we hoped for and is located within a few minutes of grocery stores, shopping, restaurants and pubs, etc. I was planning on taking the kayak out to fish but the bass were biting well off the dock so no need to try elsewhere. The lake is pristine and quiet. We heard owls in the distance before sunrise and after sunset and had an eagle fly directly over us. There were no negatives to our stay. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately my partner became ill and we were not able to go. The owner at first offered to assist us with another weekend in the future to accommodate our situation but then the next day changed their mind and told us there was nothing they could do. They offered to refund the cleaning fee if I didn't go by myself but then never did that either. Really disappointing as it looked beautiful and I love Mt. Dora but I would not want to risk renting from them again.

Great location on Lake Gertrude about 1 mile from quaint downtown Mt. Dora. Has a private deck with a lake view. The cottage is small but it has a refrigerator, microwave, full bathroom, and comfy bed ... and it is bigger than a hotel room in Manhattan.

Location is great! Very relaxing stay

Cute little cottage on the lake!

Great little cottage for two people amazing location right on the lake, great walking trail around the lake. Everything was very close by great central location. Would definitely go back

Beautiful location, steps from great fishing either on the beach with crystal clear water or off the dock. Bird sighting was awesome and the garden cabin is nestled in beautiful foliage that is straight out of a storybook. Absolutely magical. Owners extremely friendly/helpful. Bed kinda sucked and the bathroom is cramped but the overall experience made up of those two very minor details. Would absolutely visit again, highly recommended for a Mount Dora experience unlike any other.

The location and lake view are awesome! Everything I hoped for. The accommodations need a cleaning and updating. Not what I expected for the area.

My Husband and I Came Here for Our 19th Wedding Anniversary...He NEEDED Time Away......and We Wanted Nature and Fresh Air. Mt Dora and This Cottage gave Us Everything We Needed! VERY Close to Downtown....Cute Shops, Good Food, Very Quaint......And the Cottage is PERFECTLY Centered on Lake Gertrude with the Best View and Kayaking was AMAZING! Cute Walkways in Either Direction and Great Nature Everywhere! We Had a Wonderful Stay and Plan On Coming Back Again......

My husband and I celebrated our 11th anniversary for a quick, no kids weekend! The cottage was perfect! Clean, good location, we loved sitting on the dock for happy hour and for sunrise! David and Sharlyn were great hosts with great communication! Thanks again!

Can’t say enough on how happy we were with the entire process of renting the cottage through VBRO. We loved it. It was so cute and super quiet place to spend the weekend. The cottage was extremely nice and well stocked.

Great location, right on Lake Gertrude, very relaxing stay. Really liked the place, and very nice owners. Most beautiful garden, award winning landscape. We will do our best to come back again.

This was our first stay in the cottage. We've stayed at various locations in the past. Location is beautiful and overlooking the lake under oak trees, Very quiet. Cottage is quaint, small, clean and suited our needs. Bed was comfortable. We aren't ones to spend a great deal of time in the room, so size of the room didn't matter. Just under 2 miles to downtown Mount Dora and restaurants. We would defintely stay again. Thank you.

This property is exactly as pictured and described! It was very clean and well-maintained. Its proximity to Mt. Dora is perfect, just a quick 5 minute drive. We also walked to the German bakery Backhaus for breakfast one morning. The cottage location is prime. We enjoyed the view of the lake from both the little porch and also from the cottage. It was so serene, a perfect getaway to relax. The owners were very responsive and reached out on our second day to ensure all was going well. We met David, one of the owners, by chance and he's a charming funny guy! Highly recommend and I hope to come back another time! Thank you David and Sharlyn!

We enjoyed our stay at this sweet cottage with beautiful lake views. It was close to historic Mount Dora and great hiking/biking trails. We would highly recommend and stay here again.

It needed a little work

Good location.

It was very quaint and quiet! We loved the location and the lake was absolutely beautiful! We spent our evenings on the dock, what a wonderful way to spend our 37th anniversary
