The Wow Cottage definitely WOWED us. The cottage was immaculate inside and out and had many wonderful surprises waiting for us. We have stayed at other properties and by far this was the best experience we’ve had with Vrbo. I would highly recommend this property!! I can’t say enough about the hosts, they were amazing, they made you feel like you were part of their family. Jim & Mary

It was a Wow

This was a great house. Perfect location. The hosts were very nice with a welcome card wishing us happy anniversary. Just looking at all the art or trying an instrument made it fun. We will be back.

Stayed for two nights and really loved the property. Very clear communication made check-in a breeze. The kitchen is very well equipped and the assortment of musical instruments brought out our creative side. Location doesn't get better. We'll definitely be back again!

Surprise birthday weekend!

We had an excellent stay at the Wow Cottage. Very eclectic art designs and trinkets. Hard to explain. It's a must-see. We surprised my wife with a birthday weekend in Mount Dora. Several times we walked into town to visit the various restaurants and destinations. Highly recommend others to stay at the wow cottage! Liz is great at managing the property and makes your visit feel special.

So Perfect & Unique

The WOW house was just a fun & unique place & my friend & I enjoyed it so much. The hosts couldn’t have been better, so accommodating & helpful in every way. The kitchen had top of the line appliances, beautiful dishes & more. Everywhere you look is decor that is fun & so different. Nice quiet location, & free shuttle to downtown. Take the historic tour.

Definitely WOW!

House was so quaint and cozy, and definitely a WOW experience from the decor to the rooms. Liz the host was GREAT! She was interactive with me and surprised us with goodies for my best friend's birthday. It was only 5 blocks from downtown therefore we never even used our car and enjoyed the downtown experience just as much. Very nice town and would definitely go back again and recommend this house to adults who want a quiet and cozy getaway. THANK YOU Liz!
