Absolutely gorgeous view right on Lake Dora. That aside, the place was very dirty. Dirty floors, trash under furniture, kitchen sink kept backing up and had to be plunged several times, bathroom was dirty, including mildew on shower curtain and outside of toilet was not clean. Again, view was great, and we enjoyed the screened in Florida room, but if you like a clean place, you may want to pass.

This is a great place to stay. If you have a boat the access is great and the dock was a wonderful place to sit with your morning coffee and a fishing pole.

beautiful little home, great view. Good size bedrooms and bathroom. Kitchen was nice as well. The floors were a bit dusty and dirty all around which was unfortunate. House is just a bit smaller than expected and only formal table was the poker table.
