About this house rental

Bring your boat or enjoy the views from the land -- this gorgeous lake house has it all. Built from Cypress cut from the property, this house was home to the original settlers of the area. Fully remodeled in 2013, the 1920s charm is still present throughout. Decorated in Florida Nautical/Lodge style, the home feels comfortable and sophisticated all at the same time. The nearby Mission Inn boasts 3 beautiful restaurants, fantastic golf facilities, and a spa -- all of which is open to the public. The outdoor and recreation experiences offered by Mission Inn Resort & Club are both diverse and unique. In addition to championship golf, the resort offers trap & skeet shooting, tennis, fresh water fishing, nature trails, a pool, playgrounds, restaurants, and more. The house is fully furnished with a fully stocked kitchen. Three bedrooms include a master with a king bed and a master bath, and two additional bedrooms: one with a full-size bed and the other with a queen and a twin. These two bedrooms share the guest bath. The living room has a queen pull-out sofa for which linens are provided. We have a pack & play if you would like to use it (bring own crib sheet & blankets). We do generally accept small and medium-size dogs with a nonrefundable pet fee of $200. We do not have a fenced-in yard. Our house is a wonderful place to bring children as there are peacocks that roam the neighborhood and lots of wildlife to be seen around the property. The Yalaha Bakery is in walking distance of the house and has live music on Saturdays from 11 to 2. The house is conveniently located just 10 minutes from grocery stores and restaurants. Other Area Activities Located in Central Florida, Yalaha is sequestered from, yet convenient to, the world's most famous theme parks and attractions in Orlando. In addition, Yalaha is surrounded by an assortment of activities and nature experiences that complete any vacation. Lakeridge Winery – Clermont's award winning winery offers tours and insight into the cultivation and harvesting of the grapes, along with samples. Mount Dora – Antiquing in this lakeside community is plentiful. Yalaha Bakery – Authentic German and Bavarian master bakers serve delicious treats in an authentic old-world German setting.

Our children love visiting the town of Tavares, only 15 minutes away by car or boat. Tavares is the Sea Plane capital of Florida and the quaint downtown has a great waterfront with delicious restaurants and a huge playground and splash pad. No visit is complete without a visit to the train. Children also love visiting Uncle Donald’s Farm (15 mins) where you can meet adorable farm animals up close, or the Amazing Exotics Education Center which has more than 300 exotic and endangered animals on view. The Trout Lake Nature Center has picnicking, hiking and environmental education opportunities, and you can be a cowboy for a day at Fiddler’s Green Ranch, where National Mounted Police horses are trained.

Tavares is host to the annual 'Downtown Fall Festival' at the end of October, and the 'Light Up Celebration', usually held in late fall. Pick this house because of the amazing views over the lake, free access to the Mission Inn Resort (under 5 mins) and the peace and relaxation of the countryside - just a short drive to the excitement of Orlando and the Parks.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Great guidance on local attractions. Quiet/Idyllic/beautiful location and neighborhood Wonderful for families with children, with many toys, games, and books. Overall needs some TLC: - Hot tub cover needs replacement as it has failed and tub wasn’t usable. Dirty with many leaves - Bar of hand soap or undiluted liquid soap would be welcome (liquid soap was diluted with 50% water and was quite thin) - MBR mattress is very elevated. We’re both in our late 60s and had difficulty. Our opinion is that If steps are required, it’s probably too high. - Check icemaker occasionally. When we arrived the spout was completely blocked with melted/refrozen ice. I was able to break up the ice and restore functionality. Appeared to be in this condition for a while as there was also a bag of purchased ice left in the freezer. -A Keurig would be nice as guests could bring or purchase pods. This would be more convenient and flexible than with the existing drip coffee maker. -Suggest adding contact paper to the kitchen drawers and cabinets as all were quite rusty. -sofa in living room has cracked and split upholstery. -Pre-stay guidance on parking would have been appreciated with address on different road than access. This was especially confusing on late night arrival with no clear driveway. -Keypad is faded and we had difficulty initially at night reading and using it. Keys need to be firmly pushed/held until each beeps.

This is the first time we have been dissatisfied with a VRBO rental. Owners need to address some cleanliness and safety issues. Hot tub was not used due to unattractive location. Kids liked the peacocks roaming the neighborhood. Sunset over the lake was pretty. Check in was easy.
