Our first trip to Mount Dora, and we were extremely impressed with both the town and the Lakeside Inn. This will be our go-to weekend getaway going forward, thanks to the great location on the lake and the great facilities at the Inn itself. Charming is the best word to describe the hotel and the town. Highly recommended.

I loved that the property is right on the lake. we saw the best sunset. Front desk workers were so nice and quick checking us in. Breakfast was good and reasonably priced- with a very nice server. very walkable to shopping , lighthouse and boardwalk trails. The room was decent size and very clean . This Inn had everything to make a perfect getaway. only bad part was we couldn't stay longer!

An outstanding place to stay situated on Lake Dora, contiguous to the charming town of Mount Dora. Because of historical preservation the rooms have remained the same which adds to the charm. The dining experience on the veranda of the main inn was lovely—eating breakfast overlooking the lake. Very peaceful place and recommend the boat tour.

A Must Stay for Central FL
Lakeside Inn location is just the best for historic downtown Mount Dora visit. Yes its an old inn, but the charm can't be beat. We will say, thankfully, the king room we stayed in had a much more comfortable bed than the numerous others we have experienced, so that was a plus for these old bones. The dock has been rebuilt! Yeah! And we noticed the pool side bar was back in action, though our short stay this time did not allow us to try it out. Grounds continue to be beautifully maintained and the large porch provided a wonderful view.
