Verified Reviews of Lakeside Inn
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Be part of Mt Dora history as a Lakeside Inn guest."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
My first ever and very enjoyable visit to historic Mt Dora, FL was amplified by a weekend stay at Lakeside Inn. The impeccable attention to historic detail ( like clear crystal door knobs and original pine flooring on the first level) is appreciated. The subtle modern upgrades ( like digitized room cooling) did not distract from the yesteryear atmosphere. Staff was congenial and attentive. Highly recommended!

Overall Score3.0/ 5
Love location, but pricy for not including breakfast at least. Carpet needed replacing. I paid for a king bed, but got two queens. Staff were pleasant.

Overall Score4.0/ 5
Loved our stay, but will be a little wiser next time. We had a person in a scooter and a service dog and between the two of them, I was worn out having to carry everything up the steps by myself. I was not prepared for No Elevators. I was not aware that there was going to be a scooter involved or I would've asked if there were any accessible rooms. I will next time.

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.
