This was such a great place to stay in Mount Dora. This was our first time visiting Mount Dora and we couldn't have picked a better spot. The place was very clean and had a ton of charm. 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! read more

A perfect getaway! The Mount Dora Historical Inn is a little slice of heaven in the heart of Mount Dora. A small 4 room Inn -- each room has its own unique charm. We stayed in Dicks room on the second floor, it was so quiet and private, Rachel the owner is very hands on, takes care of every little detail really made our stay extra special. read more

We had an incredible stay here. Perfectly located to be quiet and off the main strip but only a block away so you can still do your whole visit on foot! The room we stayed in was adorable! It was clean, cozy, spacious, had a mini fridge, full bathroom, closet for clothes, a nice tv and a comfy big bed! All of the staff was very kind and helpful. They provide water bottles and coffee & tea. We loved our experience and are looking forward to our next visit! read more

Here for our third stay in a row, and won't stay anywhere else in Mt. Dora as long as it's available! Rachel is fantastic, the location is incredible, and the property is beautiful. Literally steps from anything you want to do downtown. We've felt very welcomed and valued as repeat customers. Thank you, Rachel! read more

My mom and I stayed at Mount Dora Historic Inn over Thanksgiving break. The convenience to the Mount Dora area makes this a prime location. It's within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants, as well as the water. I had made reservations prior to the visit for Mister Charlie's Room - "Located on the first floor withhistorical furnishings to relax and unwind, a brass bed from the 50's and one of Florida's most comfortable overstuffed chair invite you to linger. A modern, private bath with step-in shower has been added for your convenience." It was comfortable and quaint with very cute, romantic decor. The room is located on the first floor and I believe there are 2 rooms upstairs so, because it's similar to an old 2 story cottage, the floors are creaky and we easily heard the people upstairs. Regardless, we slept OK. Every morning a special breakfast is prepared for the guests. We sat around a table in the entrance area and were served homemade breakfast, like pumpkin pancakes, fruit bowls, quiche, etc. The breakfast was different everyday and the chef, who is also the property manager, will take requests/preferences/special diet accommodations. Furthermore, the Inn entrance has coffee/tea and cookies/goodies to grab anytime. The parking can be found in the back lot rock area, which the property manager was kind enough to allow us to keep our bikes in the shed. You can also easily park out front or on the side, but that's not parking related to the Inn. Overall, we had a pleasant stay in Mount Dora at the Mount Dora Historic Inn. We felt safe and comfortable, and it was nice to have a homemade breakfast each morning. read more

We love to eat here in Fall & Winter during spec events & fairs. We've dined for both lunch & dinner. We've also dined at their Sunday brunch which has musical emtertainment. It's worth the trip to Mt. Dora. It's very serene & calm. Luv the old world charm, decor, & fireplace. We are not so fond of the lounge decor. It's a bit bar tavern lk w/no charm.m read more

we had a wonderful time here, staff was friendly, and helpful. the house was clean and beautiful. the breakfast down the street thru them was delicious. would stay again! read more

I had the good fortune to discover the Historic Inn on a recent visit to Mt. Dora. I was on a motorcycle trip from Miami to St. Augustine, and I wasn't sure how far I was going to make it the first day because the weather was unpredictable, so I didn't have a reservation. I had always heard that Mt. Dora was a charming town, so after riding 300 miles up the back roads through lake country, I rolled into town and saw this postcard perfect inn just 2 blocks from the center of town. Debbie the manager gave me a warm welcome and suggested that I stay in one of the cottages around the corner (Tremain Street Cottages). The unit was an adorable one bedroom (not really biker talk but true!) spotless and nicely decorated with a full kitchen. I could have spent the whole summer there. The rate was $97 and did not include breakfast, but there are several restaurants and bakeries just a 5 minute walk away. Debbie also told me where to go for happy hour, and I ran into her and some friends later in the evening. The next morning I continued my ride through the Ocala National Forest to St. Augustine, but my night in Mt. Dora was one of the highlights of the trip. Highly recommended! read more

A good week ago, when I visiting the area to take part in a group meetup around the bend, the group I was traveling with pre-paid the fee for me to stay in the Ivy Cottage. Although the Ivy Cottage is the Mt. Dora Historic Inn's cheapest cottage they rented, it actually did the trick. I only had to stay there for two nights. Yes, there was no phone anywhere in the cottage, but when I had my own cellphone, I wouldn't have needed one (maybe that's why the phone was removed). The only remnants of the placement of such a phone existed in the kitchen, and was proven by the empty unused phone "outlet" sitting unguarded by the table. The rest of the place was immaculate. Nice and clean, and very well kept up. Although I definitely didn't like the idea that there was no Wi-Fi onsite, I had alternate forms (that I only knew about late into the stay) from my cellphone. Grrrrr! I did like the fact that there were no cleaning employees who came around and cleaned the apartment while I was there. Though the place was shown to be spiffy to me, I didn't like that some of the magazine choices in the one magazine collection bin, were more then 4 years old (some dated back to 2010- I decided to "band them together" and stick them in the front part of the bin. Another downfall was the flashlight in the master bedroom (which contained, of all things a Queen-sized bed). It's light was super weak. had I had better batteries, I think I would have changed them the moment i got there. When was the last time these emergency-use only items were ever checked? Jeez! If that's not enough, not even the alarm clock/radio worked the way it was supposed to. I did like the fact that there was a full-sized kitchen complete with almost everything a normal house could ever need or want. It had cups, dishes, silverware, you name it. It even had a dishwasher with dishwasher detergent balls. For the time I spent here, I never had to use anything like that. I did like the fact that they had two full trays of ice cubes in the freezer of the full-size refrigerator, but since the water smelled of heavy sulfur, I didn't want to make myself sick and use them. Nice try! I liked that there was a door in the kitchen, along with the fact that the windows actually had a way to open them. Some of the windows I couldn't actually open. Between the venetian blinds that had no opening/closing mechanisms and for the ones that did, they were hard and heavy, this was a problematic thing. About the only thing that worked here, was the television. But with so much stuff at the alternate location the group used, I wasn't able to use this device efficiently. It got the job done for those times it was used. Anyways, bargain shop around. It had it's positives, but if I was paying the bill myself, I would have done more research and settled elsewhere. read more

I stayed at the Inn on Memorial Day weekend, and was very happy with everything. Debbie was a most gracious host, and the breakfast was awesome. This was my first experience at a B&B and I will definitely being doing it again. Thank you for a great stay!! read more

My wife and I stayed for a couple of nights this past weekend. It was our first time at the inn and in Mt. Dora and it is safe to say that we would visit both again. The location of the inn is excellent, walking distance to the lake and downtown. Debbie and Lydia were a pleasure to talk with and an absolute delight during breakfast both mornings we were there. Breakfast was fantastic both days; Polynesian soup (blended fruit and yogurt, basically a smoothie in a bowl) was an energizing and refreshing starter, followed by French Toast stuffed with strawberry and cream cheese with sausage on the first day, and crustless quiche with potatoes and sausage on the second day. Coffee and tea are both available but Debbie is nice enough to offer decaf and even made iced tea each morning for one gentleman who requested it. Our room (we stayed in Mr. Charlie's room) was quite spacious and charming with a comfy bed. The only complaint I have about the our stay, as well as the only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars, is the air conditioning situation in our room. The Inn doesn't have central air, which isn't a problem as long as it is in good working order, which it seemed to be in the lobby. The one in our room was quite loud, it kept us up both nights and it also took a very long time to cool the room; we turned it up a few degrees when we left for the day and it was very stuffy when we came back as well as when we first entered the room upon arrival. I'd give 4.5 stars if I was able, and if we find ourselves visiting the area again we will definitely stay here again, but will probably choose a different room. read more

We stayed in one of the cottages, Tin Roof, and it was immaculate, charming, close to town, well equipped, and had rocking chairs on the balcony which was perfect for happy hour and watching the sun set. We checked in a couple hours prior to normal check-in via a lockbox. The owner was very accommodating and very clear in her adherence to CDC guidelines and what was expected of us upon our leaving. Would definitely return to this location and maybe try another cottage on the same property. read more

Careful with cancellations Cancellation policy states that you have to cancel 21 days prior to your stay. Be careful if you have to cancel for any reason after the 21 day period I booked the reservation on August 30, 2018 for a 6 day stay starting November 14, 2018. I called to cancel 2 weeks before my stay (October 31st) due to my daughter's chronic illness and was told by Ingrid that my reservation was cancelled and if I re-booked there would be no charge and if was already charged I would receive a credit in 3-4 days. I was given a cancellation number. I figured at this time that the matter was closed. To my surprise, on the day I was scheduled to arrive I received a phone call asking if I was going to check-in that evening (were they aware that I had cancelled?). I explained that I had cancelled the reservation 2 weeks prior and that I had a cancellation number. Several days later I checked my credit card and there was a charge for the full 6 day stay. I called the manager and she stated that since I did not show and the reservation was not cancelled, I was liable for the full cost of 6 days. I explained that I cancelled the reservation two weeks prior and recounted my conversation with Ingrid and that I would be re-scheduling my stay. She stated that there was no one named Ingrid there???? She also indicated that when I re-scheduled she would work something out. On December 2nd I called the manager to re-schedule. I refreshed her memory on what had taken place and I wanted to re-schedule my stay for the latter part of March/early April 2019. She again stated that there was no Ingrid working there, etc. In the end she offered a 10% discount on my next stay, period. So much for good customer relations. I will never stay at this place, no matter how charming it is purported to be. Who answered the phone when I called to cancel on October 31st??? Is there an Ingrid that answers the phone when the manager is not available. We will never know??? Shame on you Historic Inn and Cottages for this ridiculous cancellation rule and greed at the expense of your potential customers!!! read more

I grew up in Mt Dora, in the summers of my childhood and was excited about spending my 26th anniversary at the historic Mt. Dora Inn. We made the decision to stay despite our disappointment in the inn. There was no living area to relax, or outdoor living area. Only your room to stay in. It is a bit run down and in need of redoing. The plumbing was installed backwards in the shower. The best part of the inn was the wonderful hired host who made our nice breakfast each morning. They were truly wonderful to us and the only reason for the two stars. It is deceitful to advertise the owner as a professional chef and there accomplishments as if they are on site when they live in Miami. The leaf blower for the town of Mt Dora starts at 6am. The noisy Mexican restaurants parking lot is under our bedroom window and they power wash at 11pm. It was a nightmare of noises. read more

Would have given them 5 stars if the a/c hadn't stopped working on our last day. I made the phone call to the office at 11 pm and they were nice enough to send someone. However, it didn't help and this is Florida! Let me start out by saying the staff is awesome, very friendly and kind. We loved our cottage, "Tin Roof" very clean, cozy, comfortable bed and wonderful balcony with rocking chairs. Has full kitchen and they provide all the basic things you need. Walking distance to shops. Nice getaway, would recommend and definitely return!! read more

We stayed here for two nights this past week and had the best time. Melanie and everyone else at the Inn is so friendly and accommodating. She truly made us feel at home. I think breakfast was the best part of our trip! The food was delicious, like being at the best brunch spot in town. We are already looking forward to our next trip to Mount Dora and will be spending it at The Historic Inn. read more

This group is very hard to communicate with. We had problems with our reservations due to surgery and my mothers death and we ended up losing all our money according to their rules and regulations. Make sure there's no chance that you have to cancel. read more
