We like staying in historic Bed & Breakfast Inns and though this is not a true B&B, it has that flavor and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a lovely, historic building with tree covered grounds and is very relaxing. It is a 1/2 mile walk to downtown, which has many great restaurants and shopping opportunities. Be sure to take the 2 hour boat tour on Lake Dora. Looking forward to visiting again in the future.

The walls are super thin! The bathroom was tiny, like have to put your feet in the shower to use the toilet tiny! Other than that it’s great! Great staff and area to stay in!

Only downside is that the floors for the second floor make the room on the first floor very loud even if just walking casually.

This place was very cute. The beds were very comfortable. The rooms were well stocked with amenities. This was close to walking downtown. There is no staff on the premises but they are responsive by phone. The property is really cute, I especially liked the enclosed gazebo.

It’s old buildings so not of charm but very musty, house keeper no good (Soap residue leftover in bathroom, lots of dust, unfolded towels). Broken blinds. Very clean and cozy bed.

Quiet property; beautiful landscaping

Beautiful historic property with some of the quirks and imperfections that you would expect in an old home. There are so many places on the property to quietly relax and recharge. Owner was accessible and eager to make the stay as pleasant as possible. The caretaker, Claudia, was not, however. Overall we were very happy with the stay and will return on future trips to this area.

Will be a repeat for sure!!

I travel a lot for work so this time I wanted something different. This truly was a small hidden gem. The flat had everything I needed to be comfortable and sleep well. I didn't have the normal hotel passerby traffic and cute rustic local fair were close enough to walk for morning coffee. Yes, the bathroom was small, but it was just me and I loved it. I will stay here again when I am in the area.
