Our stay was incredible Our golf views were exceptional The staff were extremely attentive and friendly

Our breakfast had relaxing views and the food was decent for the the price We had great 🍮 at El Conquistador restaurant and the waiter, a young man with a cute southern accent, couldn’t be more attentive and kind The decor and the ambiance of the place is adorable My son enjoyed the amenities and the rounds of golf Very challenging and fun course I can’t wait to go there again!

Sunny Hester

We had the pleasure of staying at Mission Inn while attending a British Car Event in April The mix of old historic Florida with modern day conveniences was outstanding and welcoming Walking the grounds was like a day at the botanical garden

Hard to describe the beauty and ambiance of this magnificent and almost magical location It was a experience no one should miss Now, I need to find a way to golf this one of a kind golf course Maybe my next visit?

I can’t say enough about our experience at the Mission Inn Resort! We had our wedding at one of their venues in December and it was one of the most delightful experience I’ve ever had Jessica from the mission inn weddings sales team could not have been more helpful and transparent on the experience we would have They helped us with great vendors and had everything in order with the hotel and resort to make sure our family was well accommodated

They helped us meet Kelsey, our wedding coordinator, who was our superhero leading up to the big day Kerry our catering manager went above and beyond with her staff to make sure everything went off without a hitch She employed a wonderful staff who were understanding and responsive to everything we addressed I would recommend this resort and experience to everyone and look forward to my next stay!

Your standard Holiday Inn Express & Suites Good breakfast, friendly staff and comfortable enough bed The size of the room was decent and the area seemed nice enough

I will say this hotel appeared to be older and in need of some renovation or deep cleaning I noticed multiple stains in my room on the carpet and furniture Room 218 needs a little work

An amazing place! The rooms are all (yes, we were able to peek into most of them) beautiful and filled with period furniture The prioritress is a great cook and undoubtedly trying to make breakfast the only meal I need for the day! I totally recommend you stay here for your next visit to Mt Dora

Did I mention the perfect pool?!

ANDREW REITBAUER

Absolutely beautiful Inn we enjoyed our four days Breakfast was excellent we enjoyed our conversation every morning with the guests everyone was friendly Margie was a wonderful host her Inn is absolutely beautiful

Margie Russian wolf hounds were so friendly and we enjoyed seeing them every morning with her cats Than you Margie for a wonderful time in your in on our 50th Anniversary you helped make it special for us The town of Mt Dora was amazing what a beautiful town so much to do between shopping amazing Restaurants boat rides we never questioned what to do We will be up again to visit they say Christmas time is a good time to go That’s our next trip Again thank you to our wonderful host Margie

BARRY MAXWELL

I would not recommend this B and B I stayed in the most expensive room for my 30th wedding anniversary The room was never touched while we were there for the weekend

One would assume at the very least the bed would be madeIn regards to the breakfast, I found it to be a one fits all type If you don’t like poached eggs, too bad I love my eggs sunny side up, and to dip my toast into the liquid yoke However, the eggs were overcooked and the yoke was too hard to dip anything into itSo, I would say pass on this B and B It is not within walking distance of downtown, the food was subpar, and it was overpriced for the service one would expect for a $300 a night room

We stayed here to celebrate my best friends 50th birthday It was a couples getaway and we stayed in the windmill cottage This was my first time my husband and I visited Mount Dora

My best friend and her husband visit regularly but it was their first time staying here First off Gwendolyn and her husband Dennis are simply terrific! Very accommodating and beyond helpful The cottage was spotless and so comfortable They always had the fridge stocked with whatever drinks we wanted The breakfast was AMAZING I didn’t want it to end We cannot wait to come back and stay here

Brad

Sitting here relaxing by the pool in perfect weather with a breeze just enough to gently give the windchimes some attention  I vary watching the squirrels, watching the original windmill spin and turn,  or the small ripples on the pool  I’ve only arrived 30 minutes ago and I’m instantly relaxed after 6 hours of traveling

  Mt Dora is already a magical place and Grandview adds to that it’s own its own enchantment  I’m so happy I was lucky enough to stay here while visiting friends just down the streetI’m home now and was just thinking,the proprietors were so nice and welcoming There is no way for me to fully communicate how special I believe this B&B to be As I looked around the property, every bauble, lamp, and piece of furniture brought to mind how much love and attention has been put into this historical wonder It is astounding to think how much work a place like this would take to keep at this high a level of polished, thoughtful, yet comfortable vacation excellenceThe breakfasts were wonderful and they work hard to accommodate as many dietary needs as possible You will certainly not go hungry Also, worth noting is its all locally sourced farm to table where possible The bed in my room was so comfortable, I got some of the best sleep while staying here I also enjoyed talking with some of the other guests who were regulars I hope to be back soon to this special B&B Oh! And I should visit my friends again tooThank you again for the stay Grandview!

Harry Canary

There is plenty of charm to this hotel and a real taste of “old Florida” And the views of Lake Dora are fantastic from the InnIf you’re looking for modern amenities though in your room, like a microwave or mini fridge, a nice-sized TV or even an enclosed toilet tank (instead of exposed plumbing) to come standard, you’ll need to manage your expectations

The most modern thing in the room was the super quiet, super cooling A/COverall we enjoyed our stay The serving staff at The Beauclerc and Tremain’s Tavern were excellent and the food was great Seriously, portions were big, very fairly priced and even the salmon we had was perfectly cooked And you will not find a better location within walking distance for all that the historic downtown district has to offerAreas for improvement:- We requested a mini fridge by phone days ahead of time only to find no note for it in our reservation I suppose we saved the $5/day charge which seems a little nickle-and-dime like in the first place, but the whole thing was handled poorly by the front desk- The mildew around the door frame inside the closet was just plain gross and needs work- The pool bar was not open due to staffing shortages Would have enjoyed that- Trying to book a boat tour through the hotel website needs even more in your face explanations that it means nothing unless you call the boat tour operator directly to confirm Really, why bother to have it on the site otherwise

Gretchen Bennett

Our room facing the lake was clean and very welcoming! The staff were very attentive and happily greeted you! The piano playing superb! My only complaint was 2 days in a row (and we were the some of the first guests) at lunch and dinner the next night they were out of a certain soup! Dinner we ordered the Brie with crackers and she came out with the Brie and dinner rolls saying that they didn’t have any crackers! We will been coming back as the beauty of this old place in and out are exquisite! But I will be bring my own crackers!❤️😂

Kristy Burns

I usually give good reviews The two stars is for the staff who have been kind My room is old, gross and overpriced

Don’t walk around barefoot Your feet will be dirty and sticky The lock on the door doesn’t work and neither does the toilet flush well I am next to some noisy passage at the top of the stairs I am currently being forced to hear the worst wedding DJ music permeate the walls At what point do we move past Sir Mix A Lot’s “ I Like Big Butts” and “Celebrate Good Times”? So, if you are coming for a wedding, make sure to hit up the bar so the room doesn’t offend at the end of the night and DO NOT CRASH ON YOUR FRIENDS FLOOR! Ew! If you are not coming for a wedding, there are some bed and breakfast places in the area that I am sure are quieter, cleaner, and provide more for your money It does get quiet after 10pm and the mattress was soft but judging the bedding and flooring, who knows how old the mattress may be I try not to think about it The grounds are nice and I did not try the food so I have nothing to offer on that score

My daughter team stayed at hotel I rented a room and sent with someone else The staff was very helpful getting the room set up so the other mom could check the girls in

I called 2 days before to double check and everything was fine but when they got there the guy tells them we need the credit card and id, which I had already emailed after talking to him a few minutes he figured it out The girls were disappointed with pool as it only went to their waist

Carlisa Harper

This is the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel This doesn’t not even deserve a one first of all during the week of March 2nd I called down to the front desk at 8:00pm to tell them that the toilet overflowed and need to be fixed The receptionist tells me that she has a plunger and some towels that I can come get and to basically plunge the toilet your self

I am like wow I paid 350 for three nights for this trashy hotel she did not even offer me to get another room with working supplies that is the most god awful thing you can tell you customers I will never stay at this hotel ever again the worst experience ever

Not the nicest Hampton Inn we have stayed in, but clean and functional for one night It’s approximately 10 minutes from downtown Mt Dora Breakfast was good, hot food and your traditional breakfast cereals

We enjoyed the hot homemade oatmeal! Overall, the place needs a little TLC outside Pool has no privacy from the parking lot and no shade (no umbrellas either)

Ron McCracken

We used this Hampton Inn as the base for our annual family reunion in July 2022 The general manager, Robert Milsap, helped us organize a room block and a meeting room for our five day four night event The logistics were flawless; and the on-site staff friendly and accommodating

This property is not brand new, but is exceptionally well-maintained Kudos to the staff responsible for breakfast A reasonable assortment of hot and cold items were in plentiful supply, in a neat and clean environmentWe will use this property again!

Tina K. Jones

Probably the worst experience I have ever had at a Hilton Property I stood in front of the clerk for a good 5 minutes before he even looked up and greeted me There were no other guests at the desk! Then, the room was so incredibly small and cramped

To make matter worse, we found little black specs in our beds (my sister took pictures) When I complained about our room, nothing was even attempted to make our stay any better The only comment I got was “we are completely full”, and the parking lot was maybe 1/4 full So, I know that was just a “put off” I used points for this stay which really is aggravating, as I feel extremely ripped off Hilton corporate should really take a look at this property as it does not meet the Hilton brand, in any way To add insult to injury, I received a “form email” from the hotel customer service person “apologizing and hoping my next stay would be better” with no attempt to satisfy an uphappy loyal Hilton Honors member I emailed them back asking to speak with the GM of the local hotel but no response has been received

For the most part the park is older, properties well cared for, mostly quiet, hookups were good Sites are tight, m ostly uneven Most reasonable on rental fees but not many amenities

Left on 3/27/22 and still long ways to being done in fact for the 3 months there most the time no one working at all Before leaving was told now 6/22 complete date I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t done by 1/23 No clubhouse, rest rooms, although they had a temporary 1 toilet, 1 shower, rental trailer No exercise room Small pool, shuffleboard, tennis Close to grocery, all stores, restaurants Not dissatisfied, not impressed Good management, great people Would stay againGet what you pay for

Great RV resort They are constantly up-grading this facility to include club house and the complete part Swimming pool has already been upgraded along with some other recreational sports

Laundry has been updated to include the washers and dryers AND they all run on credit cards No need for coins or a card that you have to buy for $1000 or more You pai PER USEManagement is great Very friendly and very helpful They are very knowledgeable about the local area to include local shops and restaurantsThis site is on our Visit Again List

Shane Reichle

I found this park on a drive to visit another park The “acting manager” was nice at first I had a few questions that the response was “I don’t know” at least she was being honest

Then the question about occupant age, she quickly snapped that “I won’t even talk to anyone under the age of 55 about renting an RV site even for one night!” I never stated my age but quickly looked at my friend and said let’s go I’m the “young one” in a traveling group, everyone else is over 55 First impression is everything and this office worker with the angst in her response tells me that the corporate executives condone her attitude!

This hotel is nice for the price The beds are comfortable and the water pressure is good in the shower I didn’t try the pool out while we were there

They have washers and dryers there, but the room is so hot, and if you’re like me and want to stay with your laundry, you’re going to sweat!!! The one thing we did not like is that they have signs at breakfast that say that they don’t want you to take food back to your room Most people want to relax while they’re eating The internet connection was good for our stay The other thing is, if you don’t fill out a form for your room to be cleaned by 9 am, then your room won’t be cleaned that day The air conditioner didn’t get as cold as it should, being in Florida All and all, it was a good stay

The old man at the boat morage is a real jerk My best friend lives there and I went fishing there at the dock was asked to leave I was astonished

I’ve helped him with him putting in boat and everything I even pick up trash when I’m there I don’t hurt anyone fishing there I also love talking to the residents and tell them how to fish Been fishing there for years The old guy is a real jerk! I honestly love this place but he ruins it for everyone

turquoisesky

Originally to stay six months, a job offer in another county led us to reduce our stay to a month They have some of the best sites we’ve been to, as they are concrete and large (room for your unit and vehicle), with plenty of room between neighbors, great roads, beautiful landscaping, and good water pressure One of the nice things about the park is that they require folks to keep the outside of their rv’s clean

With such a huge place and the weather being brutally hot, they mow and trim different areas on different days, but they do get around to the whole park eventuallyThe WIFI is good, with many repeaters throughout If one needs cable for long-term stays, they must contact a local provider for installation For short term, the WIFI was fine for catching up on the news and weather with our internet tvWe aren’t boaters, but if you are, you are in luck Access to Lake Harris is right by the office We did not use the laundry or bath house, so we cannot comment on those Nearby (as in a mile or two) is a Publix Supermarket for great food, gas stations, barber shops, and other convenience stores to make life easy instead of driving for milesPark is on a hill (this is Florida hill country!) so nice breezes are found in the early morning and late afternoon Perfect for outside coffee or an evening wind downSome sites are satellite friendly, some are shaded, so be sure to inquire about what type of site you needAll in all, a great place Very quiet residents and for the most part, very little traffic noise from US 19 Very easy to get out on the highway at the intersection with a red lightThe staff is cheerful, efficient, and the office is open seven days a weekThanks, everyone!

Cynthia Laughrun

We enjoy our stay here at Fisherman’s Cove Have come to know the staff who are friendly and efficient For any negative reviews, concerning the bathrooms, we understand that there cannot be a 24/7 oversight and clean up for these

Our help has children and an 8 hour work time What happens after hours is unavoidable muddy feet, doors left open, etcThis is a large place and is maintained well!! We full time and love it here!!!

My husband and I stayed in Charlie’s room, everything was very charmingfrom the decor to the furniture

The room was extremely clean and Lily was so sweet My husband asked where he could find a convenience store nearby just to get a bottled Pepsi, not only did she give us directions but later that night when we returned to the room she had brought us a few bottles from her own personal stash The experience was great, the breakfast vouchers were for a little diner very close to the Inn and the service was also great In the entry area they had coffee and snacks available to the guestsInn keepers can make or break an experience and I felt that Lily had such a warm and welcoming demeanor that it made our stay extra special Thank you Lily, although our interactions were briefyou made an impression that will last with us

MIchael Menzone

My wife and I took a day trip to Mount Dora, once there, we decided to spend the night Lucky for us, a room was available on such short notice The location of this B&B is excellent; literally steps away from the restaurants and shops

The rooms were impeccably clean The innkeeper wentabove and beyond to accommodate us during our short stay, right down to providing us that emergency tube of toothpaste (thanks again, Anna, haha!) The restaurant they provided breakfast certificates for was perfect; a variety of delicious dishes to choose from (Cody’s Restaurant?) I’m glad we found this place A true Mount Dora treasure!

Rob Fulton

Our stay at the Inn was great I always worry about parking but since there were only four rooms in the main house, there was plenty of parking in the back There is also a parking lot next door and on the street

We stayed in Elsie’s room It was very clean It had a refrigerator The check in and check out was easy With the Covid rules, they gave us free breakfast passes at Cody’s on Fourth It is a short walk and the food was delicious We would come back again

No complaints about this hotel Breakfast offers a great selection with two different flavors of waffles you make on the spot, several different juices, different cereals, fruits, baked goods, and the proteins are slightly different each day Super friendly workers between those who serve breakfast, those who are at the front desk, and those who clean the rooms

The rooms are clean and it’s in a good area with plenty going on nearby We need to extend our stay and will continue to stay here

Pamela and Keith are wonderful hosts and the house is very beautiful! I stayed here many nights during an extended business trip and had a wonderful experience every time They really make the house an inviting home for their guests and pay attention to the details- from the house to the garden to the yoga studio! The beds were comfortable, too and that makes such a big difference The breakfasts are phenomenal

I still dream of the lemon dutch pancake they make!

I needed just the right place of extra TLC for my Mom with all the caregiving she has been giving to our Pop This place too such loving care of her, that I don’t know where to start The place is beautiful, and the whole area feels like it is cottoned in love from the inside to the outside

It truly exceeds any B&B that I’ve even been in or checked out The extras, are just perfect without overdoing and spoiling the feel of the home Nicole is such a special lady and made my Mom feel like she was her Mom too making sure all was just right, and Mom got the much needed sleep and relaxation that she needed too There aren’t enough good words to cover how very special I believe this sweet home is I recommend to everyone, and plan on having Mom back there for another respite Thanks for treating her as special as she is!!

Very, very happy! We came to Mount Dora for a relaxing getaway We booked a room here for our last night in town and boy are we glad we did! We stayed in the “estate” room It was SO CLEAN which is the first thing I look at

The house is old and pretty- beautiful outside I slept so good that night Woke up refreshed and to the smell of something delicious cooking downstairs It was almost like I was back at my Nannie’s house We went downstairs and were served like spoiled brats The owners were super sweet and eager to make sure we were happy I cannot wait to go back I loved our stay here Worth every penny, if you love quality and comfort!! Thanks Evan and Christi!

I made reservations 2 months before our stay Because it said that we needed to get there before 6pm, I contacted the owner to ensure that someone would be there for us because we were going to get there after 6pm I called them, left them messages, emailed them, texted them and no answer

I ended up calling the chamber of commerce who got in touch with them and then finally they responded So I was relieved A couple of days before our arrival, the hostess contacted us to give us instructions on what to do after our arrival past 6pm We got there at 6:30pm and everything was in great order Clean room, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bed and beautiful place Even the outdoor chairs and hammocks were clean from bird stuff and fruits from the trees Very clean Walking distance from downtown (15 miles) So we got our exercise Everything was exceptional The hostess was available through text so it was almost self service but with NO problems at all They only thing we didn’t like was that the walls were too thin and could hear entire conversations from next door and upstairs Would stay there again

We have already had an amazing experience with the new owners of the Heirloom Estate and we haven’t even stayed here! Our sis and bro-in-law stayed this past weekend for their ten year wedding anniversary The new owners went out of their way to help us to have champagne on ice and chocolates waiting in the room upon arrival It was a great surprise and a huge hit! So while we haven’t stayed here yet, we definitely will! Thank you again to the new Heirloom Estate owners for your help in making a special day even more special!
