    The hosts and the house are excellent. They communicated just enough and they were very accommodating. The house is super clean, comfortable, and had everything to make our stay very enjoyable. We loved that we could walk to downtown Mt. Dora.

    Easy and safe three block walk to downtown Mount Dora’s restaurants, shops and Holiday Lights. Our hosts Wendy & Tim made our reservation and stay a very easy process and comfortable. They were a pleasure to work with and made every effort to make our stay a memorable family holiday experience. Thank You …..

    The Rocking Chair Cottage is a lovely house and has a very nice layout. It is decorated nicely and has everything you could want for your stay. It is just a couple of blocks to the downtown area. My friend, Melanie, and I enjoyed our stay. Wendy was a wonderful hostess and checked in to be sure we were settled in ok and that all was going well. At the end of our stay there was a severe weather event and Wendy made sure that we were informed of certain conditions. We would highly recommend this house to anyone looking to visit beautiful Mt. Dora.

    The house was awesome. Loved the split plan with the master bedroom on the other side of the house. The kitchen had everything you will ever need including water in the refrigerator and a goodie basket which we munched on. We rocked on the front porch and used the fireplace in the evenings. Will diffently go back again

    The home was very clean and neat. The bedrooms were more than adequate for 4 adults. The home is stocked with every kind of cooking vessel you would need if you like to cook and just hang out for quiet day. The very comfortable rocking chairs on the front porch just seem to call out your name. The home is only steps away from all the shopping, eating, and bout excursions. The Host is extremely quick to answer your calls if you have questions or alert her if something is wrong. Next time we visit the area we will definitely check availability for this home.

    We’re stayed at many VRBOs in Mt. Dora over the years but none better. House is as advertised and just a short walk to restaurants, shops, and parks downtown. We just got home and already looking forward to another stay.

    We are storytellers, involved with the Florida Storytelling Festival in Mount Dora. This sweet house was a quarter mile from where we needed to be. The accommodations were spot on, everything worked well, the beds were comfortable, and our host could not have been more helpful. Loved it!

    This spacious, well-appointed home is very close to downtown Mt Dora, which makes for pleasant morning and afternoon walks. Wendy, the owner, was in contact with us for whatever our needs might be. We had none because she covered all the bases and then some because this wasn't the typical walk in the door and then run to Publix. She had snacks, and water, coffee creamer, the works. So after our long ride we could relax and enjoy the evening.

    In town for a friend’s 50th birthday and knew nothing about this area beforehand. Mount Dora was such a cool place to visit and this home had everything we needed. The host was super responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend this property and the town!

    The Rocking Chair property was in a perfect location to enjoy downtown Mount Dora. The location is walkable to town and was comfortable for our Thanksgiving weekend.

    I left Pinellas County Florida before Hurricane Milton to find a safe inland place. Wendy's place was next to my step son and I was able to book it as others were leaving. The BEST stay I have ever had.. Place is clean and beautiful. Close to downtown , walking to see sunset every evening!! Porch makes it nice for morning and afternoons outside. Wendy and her husband are close and responsive...I will be back when no Hurricane threat!! Thanks Wendy!!
