“Farnsworth House strikes me as a genuinely inviting B&B; the owners seem to prioritize a personal touch, evident in their made-to-order breakfasts and willingness to accommodate dietary needs. Its location allows for easy exploration of Mount Dora's antique shops and local markets. I imagine the historic house, with its cozy outdoor areas, is ideal for couples or families seeking a tranquil escape.”
