  • Inn Details

    Re-live the elegance of the past at the lovely Mount Dora Historic Inn. Nestled in a secluded setting in romantic downtown Mount Dora, the Inn is only 25 minutes from Orlando. Enjoy the gracious hospitality, authentic period antiques, and relaxed atmosphere of this charming Bed and Breakfast. Originally built in the late 1800's as a downtown merchant's home, the Inn has been lovingly restored to it's original beauty, by the proprietors, Lindsay and Nancy Richards. The efforts of their labor of love have resulted in a memorable ambiance of warmth and embraceable character. The Mount Dora Historic Inn features fine, beautifully appointed rooms with private baths, each decorated with individuality, and an emphasis on complete guest comfort and tranquillity. From the hearty breakfast to the nightly turndown service, we welcome you to return to a bygone era.

    We loved everything about this wonderful little inn -- from the tastefully appointed and very comfortable bedroom to the delicious gourmet breakfast, everything was perfect! Ana is a most gracious host and instantly made us feel like family. We can't wait for the next visit to "our" B&B in Mount Dora.

    Cozy and charming!!

    My husband and I loved our stay in Mr. Charlie's room!!! We only visited Mt. Dora for one night, but it will be a memorable experience my husband and I will hold close to our hearts until we can escape back asap. Anna and Jim run a blessed establishment and are truly humble and accommodating to their guests. Everything was provided and the atmosphere was as picturesque as it looks on the website. This was our first B&B stay and we loved it. The breakfast, sweet treat at night, the first class service, etc. were all top notch. Can't say enough good things about the Inn and it's keepers. Hat's off to Jim and Anna!! We will be back very soon!!! Loved the entire visit.

    My wife and I loved every minute of our little get-away in Mount Dora. Ana and Jim are the perfect inn keepers: gracious, friendly and breakfast was truly a highlight. If your travels take you near Mount Dora, be sure to include an overnight with Ana and Jim -- you won't be disappointed.

    Fabulous Breakfast!!!
