Perfect Family Gathering Home

This property was cozy, comfortable, clean, quiet and overall perfect for our family. The kitchen was well stocked. We cooked and grilled our meals. We look forward to more vacations there as we have family nearby. Also, the hostess was lovely and was an excellent communicator.

Wonderful property

We stayed at this location for two weeks and absolutely loved our time there. Its location was ideal as our trip included stops in St. Augustine, Orlando and of course Mt. Dora. The house was clean and prepped for our stay. The bedrooms were big and nicely decorated. The common space was also immaculate and comfortable. Cannot recommend the house more.

The perfect home away from home!

This home was absolutely beautiful and the perfect home away from home for our family vacation! It is close to everything Mount Dora has to offer and provides both indoor and outdoor spaces to cozy up and relax. The kitchen had everything we needed and was well stocked. The entire place was beautifully decorated. I would absolutely recommend this home and will keep it in mind for future vacations to the Mount Dora area. 10/10 do recommend!

Great Stay

This property met all my expectations and more. The bedrooms are actually bigger than they appear online. The house was very clean and generously stocked with everything we needed, and a lot of things we didn't use but were nice to know were there in case we needed them. Communication with the management was very good. The living spaces were so comfortable to be in, we hardly left the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Three Oaks Cottage

Three Oaks Cottage was an ideal rental. The cleanliness was outstanding! We loved the front porch and the yard space. The home was fully equipped with extra linens, paper goods, laundry supplies, and a fully stocked kitchen that included spices and baking supplies! For us, the location was perfect; we could walk to our son's home, just a couple of blocks away. We are hoping to re-book in a couple of months. We enjoyed a wonderful stay!

Sanctuary for Sanity

I was in Mt Dora dealing with family affairs and needed a peaceful place to stay to gather my thoughts. From the moment I walked in, I knew this was the perfect spot. From the charming decor, cleanliness, dedicated workspace, WiFi, to the thoughtfully stocked coffee and tea bar, this hidden gem was exceptional. I would gladly come back & sip my coffee in the cozy Florida room. Absolute zen!

Great place under the oaks!

We spent 10 days in this lovely home. It is roomy, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Kitchen is stocked with with spices, sauces, sugar, flour and all appliances needed to prepare a gourmet meal! Communication was excellent. TV reception was limited, but we supplemented by streaming on our tablets. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in Mt. Dora

We had a great stay at Three Oaks Cottage! The space was very comfortable and super clean. I commented to the owner I felt like we were their first guests because it was possibly the cleanest space we've ever stayed in. I especially enjoyed the inviting sun room for reading, and the yard is also well-maintained.Cary was exceptionally communicative with us throughout our stay. There was a boil water notice due to a recent storm and they accommodated us with plenty of water and kept us informed about the situation. We will definitely consider staying here again on future trips to Mt. Dora.
