    I had the pleasure of staying at The Gertrude while renovating my home, and it was truly a perfect home away from home. The guesthouse was warm, welcoming, and incredibly comfortable. It’s beautifully decorated—stylish, cozy, and thoughtfully curated with all the little details that make a space feel special.It had everything I needed for an extended stay, and the location couldn’t be better—just three blocks from downtown Mount Dora, close enough to walk to shops and restaurants, yet peaceful and relaxing at the end of the day.I can’t recommend this guesthouse highly enough. Thank you for such a wonderful, comforting stay!

    The Gertrude is five star in every way. My friend and I came to Mount Dora for a weekend getaway and could not have been more pleased with our stay. We did not need our car until we were ready to leave. The property was perfect. We loved exploring historic Mount Dora but couldn’t wait to get back to our beautiful home away from home. We had everything we needed and more. Don’t hesitate to book this little piece of Heaven. You are in for a treat. Thank you to Talia for being an amazing host and property manager. I can’t wait to book with her again.
