This was one of my FAVORITE places to stay. The host was AMAZING and made us feel at home during our stay. This place is a GEM! Spotless, great location and access with room to easily park our two truck's. The bed is VERY COMFORTABLE and we rested better there than our own home!! We will DEFINITELY be booking this again when we return to the area. I highly recommended The Side Gate

My sister and I had an unforgettable stay at "The Side Gate" during the Mount Dora Art Festival! This charming cottage, completely separate from the main house, offers a cozy retreat with its own dedicated off-street parking. Just 3/4 of a mile from the bustling village of Mount Dora, you'll find an array of fabulous restaurants and unique shops right at your fingertips. Plus, there are plenty of water activities nearby to enjoy! Whether you're in the mood for a classic meal at Outback or want to savor the local flavors at the Peach Pantry, you’ll be thrilled with the dining options. The newly built cottage is beautifully appointed, featuring a super comfy bed and a lovely bathroom—perfect for relaxation after a day of exploring. And let’s not forget our fantastic host, who made our stay even more special! It was an experience filled with comfort, excitement, and charm!
