Overall Score5.0/ 5
This place is old just like me. I grew up in an old home, so I felt like I was back home again. Everything here was relaxing for me. In the evening the sunsets sitting by the lakeshore was so beautiful. It is not like the modern chain hotels don't expect that, just expect this place to be memorable and unforgettable. And you'll probably want to come back again.

Overall Score5.0/ 5
This Inn is a step back to old Florida. Sitting on the veranda talking to other guests who equally enjoy relaxing conversation while looking out at the scenery of a manicured lawn and palm trees leading to a lake was just delightful. Liz, who helped us at arrival and departure was such a kind and helpful member of the staff. She engaged us in conversation and saw to it that we were all set in our rooms. She has wonderful people skills that made our visit all the more enjoyable. Morning coffee is served in the main lobby. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Be aware that there are stairs all around the property. If you plan a quick visit to Mt Dora, Lakeside Inn is a good place to stay for a couple of days to relax and enjoy a step back to a slower pace of life.

The staff, the grounds, the atmosphere, absolutely amazing?!! Anytime we asked for anything we got it. Our room was always cleaned when we came back from neon out. It's your responsibility to make sure you put the sign on the door for housekeeping, but that's the way it should be! We went for relaxation and no hustle and Lakeside Inn delivered just that! I will go back again and again! Love the history, the staff and the meaning of all of it! Downtown was awesome also!

A visit to the Lakeside Inn in Mt. Dora is time travel of the most privileged sort. The 135-year-old historic landmark is rooted in a peaceful, romantic and genteel era yet offers the conveniences and activities of the modern times.The Inn's cluster of five buildings are grand in the quaint Old Florida style, built to last centuries and garnished with gables, balconies, porches and fanciful Victorian flourishes. The estate is graced with stately oak trees dripping with Spanish moss and an expanse of green that sweeps down to an Olympic-sized swimming pool and sparkling Lake Dora, one of Central Florida's more than 1,000 lakes that are legendary among boaters and fishermen. Many rooms and suites feature picture postcard views of the lake, dotted with sailboats, antique vessels, an occasional gator's snout, and home to the setting sun every evening.
