Pros

Includes ADA-compliant and pet-friendly room options

Maintains a dedicated Borzoi Playground for guest pets

Cons

Located 29 miles from the nearest airport (Orlando Sanford International)

“I think this B&B stands out for its commitment to both Victorian charm and modern accessibility. The fact that it is pet-friendly, coupled with thoughtful touches like gourmet breakfasts using vintage china and its proximity to downtown Mount Dora, make it a particularly appealing choice. In my opinion, this is a place where historic elegance meets genuine hospitality.”
