We have been to Mount Dora many times and but this location on Lake Gertrude is our favorite yet!
The house was very comfortable and well stocked. Nicely updated in a modern way. The kitchen was big and beautiful with everything you need to cook. We enjoyed grilling outside too.
Lake Gertrude is great for Kayaking and paddle boarding. Lots of wildlife to see- birds, turtles, gators & fish.
The water views from the master bedroom were breathtaking.
I would highly recommend this house for a family friendly getaway!

My family stayed at this home for a local family celebration. My family absolutely loved this home, the amenities, and the beautiful lake. We have decided to rent this property again next summer. This property is fabulous.

Decor was modern yet warm, amenities were generous, location on lake is top notch and proximity to downtown was a cinch.
