The Downtowner Cottage downtown Mt. Dora Location! Location! Location!

Located in the heart of the beautiful cozy town of Mt. Dora, you can just park the car and walk to all restaurants and shops. Could not be more well located than this! It is literally in the middle of downtown Mt. Dora. This cottage was built in 1948 and happens to be the only home located within the business district of downtown Mt. Dora. The (back unit) of the "Tiny House" offers everything you need to relax, enjoy the town and feel right at home. In the mornings, just walk a half block to Allyson Bakery, and get amazing coffee drinks. I must admit they have the best Oreo Cheesecake in the world! Don't feel like going out and about, just hang inside watching your favorite shows on Netflix and other channels. With so many restaurant options in downtown Mt. Dora, there will not be much time for cooking. But in case you decide to stay in, the kitchen comes fully equipped with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and coffee maker. For your convenience we also have a washer and dryer in the unit. Enjoy a glass of wine as you watch the sunset from your own private back balcony. The King size bed features memory foam mattress with Ritz Carlton type mattress topper. Warning!: It might be difficult to wake up in the mornings! : )

We love animals and we are pet friendly! Bring your pooch ( up to 30 lb.) along for the ride. Most businesses downtown Mt. Dora are pet friendly. There will be a non refundable $100 pet fee. A picture of the pet has to be sent prior booking for review and acceptance.

Wave and 1921 restaurants are located half block from this house. Las Palmas restaurant is located 1 block from this house. Modernism Museum is half block from this house. Maggie’s Attic is located 2 blocks from this house. This house is located one block from Donnelly Street and 4th Ave.

Parking for this unit is located on the driveway on the right hand side of the house. There is parking for only 1 car.

Being right downtown is great since once you park, you can just walk everywhere. But keep in mind, this house is located in an area where street closures happen during major Events. Streets are blocked from 6 PM on Fridays to late Sundays during these events. Events that causes street closures are: Mount Dora Arts Festival & Craft Fair, Christmas Walk and Light up Mount Dora. You will not be able to access the house by car during these times. You will have to park curbside near the house or use the following parking garages:

250 N Donnelly St (overnight parking) (2 minutes walk)
428 E 5th Ave (2 minutes walk)
400 Alexander St (3 minutes walk)
211 N Baker St (1 minute walk)

Perfect Location

The house is great. It was clean, comfortable for a couple, and the ability to park the car in a driveway and not use it again during the 4 day stay was such a bonus. Everything you need is in walking distance. If you're a foodie and/or like shopping at boutiques, Mount Dora is the perfect getaway. The back deck is private and you can hear the Las Plamas music. We cannot wait to go back and will definitely look to stay at this property again.

Great location!

The location to shops, dining, coffee is an easy stroll around the block. The property is clean and as advertised with all amenities needed. We ate out for all meals but the quaint kitchen looks well stocked. There is an amazing pastry/coffee shop around the corner that we visited each morning. Don’t miss out on this lovely rental!

Definitely right in the center of everything

Great location. I could just park the car at the property and walk to many restaurants shops and a charming walk along the short of the lake. Beautifully decorated and a large deck to sit outside and enjoy the eveningsProperty was as described. There were kitchen appliances, a stove but no pots and pans, which was OK with me because there are many restaurants in walking distance.
