This was absolutely the most unique, creative and fun place we have ever stayed!
it was a perfect weekend we look forward to staying again. the fisherman’s cottage does not disappoint it was charming and cozy with everything you need to feel right at home.
We are from South Florida and have always used Mount Dora as a local staycation getaway. Having not been back in 20 years, I was so pleased to find the Historic District not only maintained, but the quaint downtown protected from large big box retail and restaurants. Complimenting that are the 3 homes owned by Liz and Lee. We stayed at The Fisherman's Cottage, an easy 1/2 mile walk to the downtown. Liz was not only easily reachable leading up to the stay and during, but she also helped us plan locations for romantic dinners and "local" things a tourist would not otherwise know to ask for. Thanks again Liz. You made our anniversary weekend magical, romantic, and felt like we were staying in our own private getaway cottage. We will definitely be staying at their properties again.
We both absolutely loved cottage! We will definitely book again. It was beautifully renovated, and very comfortable with everything we needed and more.
This property is amazing. Perfect location to walk to shops and eat. Extremely well maintained and clean. We will definitely book again if we are in this area.
The cottage is great. It's very comfortable, fully equipped and conveniently located for downtown.
We really enjoyed our stay. Liz and Lee couldn't have been more helpful.
We had a great weekend in Mr Dora. Our event was dow town and this cottage is perfectly located, clean & creatively styled. The kitchen is immaculate. Love the laundry option!
This cottage was absolutely amazing there was so much cool art in the home we so enjoyed . And the owners had the best hospitality . The home was clean and we felt so at home . Cannot wait to come back we enjoyed our weekend here it was so much fun.
Liz & Lee are perfect hosts, from their impeccable attention to detail to the perfect renovations and updates of this property. Beautiful bathrooms and bedrooms and state of the art kitchen!
The house is just fabulous. Clean, beautiful decor. Great location for downtown. Great food. Could not ask for a better host. Thank you Liz for a wonder time and all the information to make our visit the best.
The house was beautiful and spotless. Fully loaded kitchen for people like me who love to cook, and great location to downtown shopping,restaurants and holiday displays
We had an awesome stay in the “Fisherman’s cottage”. Our host, Liz, was easy to communicate with about bringing a boat and very detail oriented in preparation for our arrival. Lots of surprises in the home as well as stocked necessities. We had such a good time in the community and hope to stay again soon!
The property is absolutely adorable. We were very impressed by the care and cleanliness. The property manager genuinely cares that your experience is all that it can be. Short walk to downtown and community events. It is a great getaway to a small friendly town that all should enjoy.
Liz and Lee were wonderful! The house was immaculate, they are very thoughtful and include all the extras! Cookies for me and my daughters, fresh eggs and fruit, bathroom items if you forget something and the house is SO unique! The decor is amazing! We were very comfortable and felt at home staying in the fisherman’s cottage. Thanks again!!!
We have Forever Friends that had never been to Mt. Dora, We try to celebrate each New Years Eve together… This year we rented The Fisherman’s Cottage and the four of us all fell in Love the minute we opened the door… From the Marine Art throughout the cottage, to the kindness of our hosts, the City of Mt. Dora then add in the fantastic fireworks… We had the perfect New Years Getaway!!!
Thank you Lisa and Lee for letting us share our holiday with you at your very special Fisherman’s Cottage…
Bought this for my wife's birthday and she was joined by my daughter and daughter in law. They had a blast! Shout out to owner Liz for her help and assistance in making it happen. Highly recommend!
The Fishermen’s cottage was an exceptional rental. Easily best one we have experienced. Coming into the house the artwork and decor is amazing. The owners are wonderful to communicate with they helped answer our questions and made our weekend stay memorable. Thank you very much.
