What a unique accommodation! What a lovely, enchanting town Mt. Dora is! Staying in a boathouse that is literally ON the water was fun AND relaxing. Mt. Dora was within a short stroll from the boathouse. Upscale (not "tourist type") shopping. A broad range of cuisine. We loved the boat tour of the canal on the lake and our Palm Island Park walk along the boardwalk and trails was beautiful!
Clean. Well-stocked. A host that will bend over backwards to make your stay perfect. Don't miss out...reserve the Boat House!

This boat house is a hidden gem! The one large room cottage had everything we needed and more. The screened in porch on the water was where we relaxed and enjoyed the open water views, Lake Dora is a very large lake on the Harris chain of lakes where you can take a tour from a local vendor if you like. We parked our vehicle under the carport and walked to town for meals and shopping, this boat house is in a prime location. We spent two nights celebrating our anniversary and couldn’t have picked a better place which was just a little over an hour from our home but was the perfect getaway place, thanks for the bottle of wine, we enjoyed it on your porch.

I loved this place. It was rustic but charming. I would stay again. It is ideal for a couple, as not having any bedrooms
creates a lack of privacy. But perfect for a couple and small kids. I will be back to this one. The walk to everything was amazing.

Visited in December for a long weekend. The cottage was adorable and we loved walking around to all the shops and restaurants while the Christmas lights were up. So glad we stayed here for our visit. Hope to return some day.

We absolutely loved staying at the Boat House!! It was adorable, quiet, beautiful and excellent location to the quaint town of Mt. Dora. It was all walkable from the Boat House. Sunsets from the raised deck were a memorable, gorgeous surprise. We will return!

Wife and I loved the cabin on the lake. We spent the first two nights celebrating our wedding anniversary then welcomed our best friends for the last night, showing them the town and scenery of these beautiful lakes.
The property was just as advertised and was very comfortable, even with the extra two on final night. Highly recommend.

Unique, beautiful and chill
What a wonderful vacation rental! Relaxing, gorgeous views of the lake and has everything you might need. Easy walk into town where there are plenty of great shops and restaurants. Only thing I could not find was the crowbar I needed to pry my husband off the lakefront deck when it was time to leave. Perfect for a couples retreat. I hope to stay again soon.

Incredible piece of heaven
My husband and I have stayed at many VRBO homes in our beautiful country. We have family in Eustis and a couple of years ago I reserved a place on the lake for my husband and myselt because we love being near the water. My son and fiance stayed a Lakeside Inn. Very convenient! Mt Dora is the sweetest, quaint town, but staying on Lake Road at a boat house on Lake Dora is as special and as relaxing as it gets. I had looked at "The Boathouse On Lake Dora" many times and it was always booked when I needed it. It makes me hesitant to give a 5 star review because it might end up even more booked when I'm ready to go back, but I must. The pictures of the cottage don't do it justice. It exceeded our expectations. Everything you need is in attended to. The cottage, the lake, the very short walk to downtown Mt Dora (.3 miles to Pisces Rising Restaurant) is an added plus. We live 100 miles away and will be back soon. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your very special cottage. And PS love the neighbor's kitty reception. Just adds to the ambience.
