The Flowers House - Downtown Historic Home in the Heart of Mount Dora

Welcome to The Flowers House, a remarkable slice of history located in the vibrant community of Mount Dora! Originally constructed in 1910, this house has seen only a few owners over its century-long existence, imparting a rich heritage to your stay. It was lovingly maintained by the William Capps family for sixty years. Pam and Andrew Flowers, restored its charm while preserving its unique character.

The Flowers House is equipped with modern amenities while maintaining its historical charm. You’ll find five spacious bedrooms, four of which have their own bathrooms, making it perfect for family gatherings or group getaways. The shared front and back porches, combined with a cozy backyard featuring a fire pit, provide ample space for relaxation.

There are 2 breweries in the area.

Just a short stroll to downtown Mount Dora, you'll discover a cornucopia of activities, dining options, and shopping. The area boasts an impressive array of restaurants offering diverse cuisines ranging from Asian to Italian and everything in between. Don’t miss out on fine dining experiences like 1921 and Pisces Rising, both of which promise incredible meals and lovely ambiance.

Revel in the beauty of Mount Dora's nature, too! Explore the nearby parks, take a leisurely walk to Lake Dora for sunset views, or embark on an adventure in the surrounding natural landscape filled with wildlife, including cardinals and alligators. The adventurous can rent kayaks, bicycles, or even unique catamarans to explore the crystal-clear waters of the area.

If you’re an antiques enthusiast, you’re in luck—Renninger's Flea Market & Antique Center is just a short drive away, hosting events like Guitars and Cars and the Antique and Vintage Fair.

Mount Dora comes alive with festivals throughout the year, so check the local event schedule. Highlights include the Green Market every Sunday, the Blueberry Festival in April, and the Annual Regatta in March.

As we look forward to our next stay here, I hesitantly say....What a gem! The property is perfectly located to the downtown area, everything is in walking distance and the property as exactly as described and even more charming in person. We especially loved the porch and perfect spot to relax and unwind and watch the world go by! The home was spotless, the beds were comfortable and the communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay. You can tell the hosts put a lot of thought into making their guests feel welcome. A five star experience!
