We were greeted with grace, a welcome beverage and all the instructions we needed to make our stay lovely. We were there during a very unusual freeze and were provided with extra blankets to ensure our comfort. The room was charming with a large, well appointed bath and huge closet. The bed was very comfortable. The entire inn was spotless. Every small detail was carefully thought out, including the bedside step stool. Breakfast was delicious and all special needs of the guests we dined with were carefully addressed. We will definitely return when we can make use of the lovely lanai and pool. The Grandview is within easy walking distance of everything in Mt. Dora. Parking was easy which was an added perk on a festival weekend. Thanks for a lovely stay!

I have come several times to afternoon tea and bring multiple people because I absolutely LOVE it here! It's so lovely, quaint, and Delicious!!! Gwendolyn is wonderful and remembers me, which is impressive in itself. She makes everything fresh daily, including the scones that are to die for. Uhhh, I want one now. Anyway, they have an ample tea menu along with libations, and great food! There's no way you're leaving there hungry. Sooo incredibly delicious, great ambiance, and so worth it! Best tea room around, IMO!

It is very clean and the bed is very comfortable. One has access to the living and dinning room areas, which are beautiful and relaxing. The music was also extraordinary! 2)The treatment I received by the hosts, was just beyond expectations: very kind, accommodating, and I felt at home with dear friends. 3) The breakfast is simply unbelievable: gourmet, delicious beyond words and with an amazing assortment of different things (e.g., fresh juices, fresh fruit, French toasts, sausage and roasted apples, and a variety of beverages). 4) It is a blocks from downtown. Simply a fantastic experience and just what I needed! Noteworthy detailsThere are two older dogs.

It's walking distance to everything and they give free breakfast vouchers for Cody's just about 1 block away. Breakfast was also awesome! They have complimentary water, tea, coffee, fruit, and other small snacks in the main area. We stayed in the Mr Charlie's room on the first floor and really enjoyed the set up. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in mount Dora and would not hesitate to stay here again. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Also, we were celebrating an anniversary and they gave us a complimentary bottle of wine which was a very nice treat! Highly recommend this historic Inn to anyone and will be back in the future!

They suggested packing small suitcases which was smart because the steps are steep and narrow. The house is definitely Victorian style. Lots of wallpaper, pictures and decorations. Our room was very nice with loads of room. We had a small refrigerator and a coffee maker in our room. We had views of the pool and the lake. We were disappointed in the breakfast both days. Fresh fruit and homemade bread were excellent. Unfortunately pumpkin spice bread was served both days. The main breakfast which was an egg dish both days came out so much later and we wanted to get moving, so that was unanticipated. The outside area could be really nice, but it needs a lot of work. The front porch was nice to sit and enjoy being outside.

The owner operator is a charming woman who is now trying to sell the place. Although clean, The interior is overrun by clutter and knickknacks everywhere. It's a very dated interior and hasn't kept up with modern hospitality. The pool water was murky and green. The landscaping has been neglected. Our room was nice, private entrance, the bed was comfortable yet small. We could hear her the cats meowing, and the dogs barking from the owners suite which was adjacent to our room. Breakfast and coffee is served every morning, which was definitely a high point. Delicious and creative! Just couldn't get past how cluttered and over ass accessorized the dining area is. We wish nothing but good luck to the current ownership and to whoever buys the place.

We also like to walk around the area and try out the food spots. They have an outdoor market on Sunday. We stayed at this lovely bed and breakfast. We ended up being the only guests staying there. We had the entire house to ourselves. The room was antique but well maintained. The bathroom was updated and the water was warm with great pressure. The bed was comfortable. We did watch a movie on the small television; and there was an issue with the television, but the host fixed it. The host over the Inn were pleasant and welcoming. They live on-site. They suggested a couple of places in town. The bed and breakfast is located within walking distance of a lot of sights and restaurants. The breakfast was cooked to order as we were the only guests that day. It was delicious, served on-site, and the perfect amount of food. After flipping through photos from over a decade earlier, I realized this was the same location we stayed at over a decade ago. At that time, it had a different owner, and we used a Groupon to cover the costs. We would definitely stay again! It was a great price for the value, cleanliness, and hospitality. Thanks!

I always love the welcoming style of a bed n breakfast, hotels are a little cold and harsh feeling to me. This is a gorgeous home, you'll feel like you're staying in an old mansion, the parking is in the driveway so navigating to your room is like walking up to your house. The rooms and furnishings are gorgeous and classically decadent. Although vintage nothing feels worn or old, everything's in great shape, well taken care of and very stylish. It was easy to see and feel how wonderful this location is, but what we didn't expect was the phenominal service. They do not skimp on the breakfast, the options are tasty, decorative, well thought out, and fantastically balanced. From the colors to the ingredients it was a joy to view and consumed. We stayed the night at a friends for one of the nights and made sure we ran back for the breakfast (and we are not morning people!). They make you feel so cared for and we left with so much joy in our hearts. I'm very grateful for them. Cheers to Sandy and Joe! You have done a wonderful job of making an exceptional place feel extra special.

We ordered drinks and decided to try a couple of entrees. The kitchen did take their time to prepare our meals, but, we were not in any hurry after driving all afternoon.

I highly recommend dinner and dessert at the Lakeside Inn.

The form stated that we could not leave our 15 lb dog alone for extended periods. I asked if we could leave the room for meals and got a mean look and more eye rolls. Not a great start. If you don't want pets, don't say you can bring a pet and then charge a pet fee. The location is fabulous. That said, the exterior of each building is filthy. They have not been cleaned or painted for many years. The room has carpet from the 60's which was stained as well. Food in the dining room was average at best. The bartenders and servers were great. In the main dining room, we saw the "cockroach that devoured Cleveland!" In the same room, the split system air conditioner was leaking down the wall and onto the floor. Well, that is about as nice, and brief, as I can be. Good luck, folks!

The room was comfortable and tucked away at the carriage house near the rear of the property. Our only critique was the bathroom was pretty small, but certainly usable. This B&B is quiet, undoubtedly well-maintained, and a short walk from delightful restaurants and antique shops. The caretakers were polite and attentive and prepared a huge breakfast with fresh fruit, oven-baked french toast with homemade jams, among other dishes at request. They were also very accommodating to allow an early check-in due to travel constraints. For a taste of old-Florida in Mount Dora, don't look anywhere else.

Even if you have stayed there, the chances that things have fallen down hill are always possible. Hubs and I were looking for a place to stay for the LEESBURG BIKEFEST that would be CLEAN and COMFORTABLE and be able to accommodate our trailer, motorcycles and truck. Hotels? No coverage for your motorcycles and if you are like us, your bikes are an appendage and you want to protect them! Upon entering the property you are greeted by lovely grounds, a beautiful tree and lawns and an impressively maintained home. The owners came out to greet us with big smiles. DAVE and STEF were warm and inviting and made us feel as if we were visiting good friends or family. We were able to park our cycles under the carport and had plenty of parking for our trailer and truck. We reserved the smaller unit that consists of a beautifully set up bedroom and bath with a separate entrance and patio area. The room is equipped with a very clean, comfortable bed, ceiling fan, bistro table, microwave, fridge, dishes, (real) coffee maker, TV, wifi, utensils and so much more. The kindest details are noticeable in the room! Shampoo/Conditioner, Soft NICE towels, wall mounted magnified make-up MIRROR... Sooo much more to list! And THE ICING on the cake is, STEF makes an optional beautiful breakfast in the morning, set outside your door at 8am! She sweetly knocks on the interior (normally locked) door to let you know it's there...and it's almost too pretty to EAT! It's delish! They offer SOO much more. Dave is a Bass fishing guide and sets up fishing trips with a beautiful BASS boat(the property has a beautifully lit dock on the water!), they have a resident professional Magician who shows up at their optional "HAPPY HOUR" they hold in the evening at 5:30pm in a multipurpose room on the back of the property that is decorated like a cabin with bass trophy's mounted on the wood walls.... whimsical! Multiple guests attend and we were able to meet nice people that were staying for a SAILBOAT REGATTA. It's magically lit up in the evening and also has another unit that easily accommodates a family. IM NOT EASILY IMPRESSED BUT THIS STAY BLEW ME AWAY!! Yayyyyyyy! Oh we WILL book again!
