This little bungalow made for perfect first-time visit to Mt. Dora. My husband and I came for the arts and craft show. The bungalow is very well located. Close to downtown, lake, restaurants - just about everything you want to do in Mt. Dora. The house was extremely clean and very well appointed. The owner, Talia, thought of everything one could possibly need. She was also extremely responsive to questions. I would highly recommend this property if visiting Mt. Dora.
