    I did not choose the spot, as we were traveling with another couple, he chose the spot (but, we did know OF this quaint location through a friend, who stays there everytime he goes to Mt. Dora.) But, wow, are we glad he did. We have never felt so welcomed at ANY place we have ever stayed. The amenities were first class, the food was amazing! And, the personal service made us feel we had stopped in to stay with our oldest and best friends ever. We now regard Ana, Jim and Debbie as our friends, and are planning on going back in May, and again in November. Hard to beet service like this!!

    Mt Dora Historic Inn - Cozy and Friendly

    March 19, 2013

    The Inn was very cosy. the room was very clean, and very well decorated in an antique style, very clean and quiet. It has its own private bath. Breakfast was excellent and the Inn Keepers were very friendly. Ana sat and chatted with us for quite a while. It is an easy walk to down town Mt Dora without feeling "in town."

    Simply Amazing

    March 15, 2013

    My fiancé and I had a wonderful 2-day getaway at the Mount Dora Historic Inn. Everything about this place is perfect. Owner Ana cannot do enough for you. She added that extra touch of hospitality that turned a great stay into a phenomenal stay. The room was very comfortable and had extra amenities like a refrigerator and a faux fireplace for added ambiance. The location is great, peaceful surroundings, yet only a block from the heart of the historic district. There was plenty of complimentary parking as well. The food was simply the finest! Prior to my stay, I had been told that they had the best breakfast in town. When we took a ghost walk the first night of our stay, the guide also commented on how he had heard they had the best breakfast in town and that people stayed here for that reason alone. The hype was not over-rated. The breakfast was indeed delicious. Each afternoon when we would return, there was a scrumptious homemade dessert and beverages set out. I can’t wait to return with my soon-to-be husband!

    An absolute delight

    January 27, 2013

    Mount Dora Historic Inn is a charming property in a small town lifted from a Norman Rockwell painting. Mount Dora encourages a day of leisurely strolling and shopping in its many galleries and quaint shops, while the nighlife beckons with an array of live music choices. Mount Dora Historic Inn is within an easy walk to everything and welcomes you back at the end of a day that's been as relaxing or stimulating as you choose. The facility is sparkling clean, service is warm and friendly, and breakfast is gourmet fabulous. We recommend Mount Dora Historic Inn without reservation.

    Wonderful Bed and Breakfast!!

    January 20, 2013

    This was our first Bed and Breakfast and we have decided we will definetely be back. We were very comfortable, treated wonderfully and the food was amazing. The owner and staff was so friendly and helpful. The Inn was quiet, clean and the location was perfect. It was so close to downtown that we didn't have to drive except to go to the Antique Extravaganza. Perfect get away!!

    A great stay

    July 28, 2012

    My family spent a wonderful day and night at the Inn recently. The Inn and the rooms are inviting. Staying with Ana and Jimmy is like staying with friends. The conversation and the service were absolutely wonderful. The breakfast was superb. Additionally, the Inn is convenient and within walking distance of everything we wanted to do in Mt. Dora. On another note, Ana went above and beyond on our day of departure. I had some conference calls from work that I needed to address in the morning of our departure date. Ana allowed me the use of one of the rooms so I could have quiet and privacy until my business was complete, and the calls took almost two hours. I will definitely be their guests again.
