We have a drip coffee machine, it can brew a steaming hot cup with single-serving or an entire pot of fresh coffee, per your preference. I’m also happy to provide coffee and filters, on the house :) If you have a specific brand of coffee that you enjoy, you're welcome to bring that, too. I look forward to welcoming you to The Retreat!

We found the Retreat and Derek to be terrific choices for our first VRBO stay. Derek was very warm and responsive, and his place was perfect for our needs. Our bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed! We felt like we were at home. The place smells awesome, and the central ac made it very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed from toaster, to dishes/pots and pans, measuring cups, paper towels, dish soap, etc. The only things we needed that weren't there, we brought -- microwave containers to reheat dinners we'd brought with us. The refrigerator had an ice maker/water dispenser, which came in handy. We were able to walk into town from the house, and we drove to three nearby springs during our four-day stay. If we ever come to Mt. Dora again, we'd definitely stay at Derek's Retreat again. It was a fantastic break and he is a terrific host. Thanks again, Derek!! Carol and Rob

We had a great time. Derek made sure that the home (included bedding)was fragrance free- thank you! The place offered everything we needed and was very cozy. The location couldn’t be better ; walking distance to the lake and historic downtown. Apopka Lake was easy to reach with the car; we rode our bikes to see endless alligators and birds.

My husband and I stayed here and can't say enough about the host, Derek. He was responsive no matter what time of day before during and after our stay. The home is clean, fully supplied with all the extras. We would stay again and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to visit Mount Dora.

Property was nice. House was nice but didn't know it was attached to another unit. Was NOT told about that when I reserved. Also....the property managers knew we had 3 people staying there but did not supply us with bedding for the 3rd bed.....the pullout queen couch. I called them and they were excellent at responding and bringing us the bedding but it should have been there in the beginning. Was not really happy that there was another attached unit also and should have been told about that up front. Otherwise....it was very nice.
