This was our first time staying at this "Historic" Inn ideally located on a picturesque lake shore setting in the quaint village of Mount Dora. We've been wanting to do this for a while since strolling the grounds just about every time we visit Mount Dora. We know the Inn is a historic property an have stayed in historic inns... More

Very nice historic inn, with a few problems. Swarms of gnats greeted us at the entranceway, and again in the hallway outside our room (yellow paint and yellow lighting). Rug next to bathroom was soaked (squishing) when we arrived.

From reading the reviews it seems to me that you either love or hate the Lakeside Inn ... and your stance depends on whether or not you receive a renovated room. My 'Lakeside King' room was a big disappointment (room 7530, May 2-5) ... not just old, but with a broken toilet, broken bathroom exhaust fan, inoperable window coverings, exposed... More

Sit on the front porch of the inn or on the dock by the lake and relax, this is one of Florida's historic hotels close to Orlando with the small town charm .Rooms are being updated but don't expect a modern room experience. Mount Dora has many antique shops and businesses to keep you busy during the day.

My two sisters and I stayed at the Lakeside Inn in April 2013 and we had a very memorable, special sister trip. The Lakeside Inn's grounds are beautiful. The veranda was such a lovely place for a quiet cup of coffee in the morning and relaxing cocktail in the afternoon. I was thrilled to see an alligator in the lake... More

If you appreciate old world Florida you will enjoy your stay at the Historic Lakeside Inn, Mount Dora, Florida. The Inn is comprised of several buildings maintained true to the 1833 construction period. Walk through downtown Mount Dora during the day and sit in a rocking chair or on the dock enjoying the sunset. A very peaceful, quaint experience.

My husband and I travel to the Lakeside Inn as often as we can. Just spent four nights there the past weekend. This historic hotel, now celebrating 130 years, is in a charming lakeside setting (truth in advertising), within walking distance of everything in downtown Mt. Dora. That includes restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, etc. The new owner is refurbishing the... More
