My partner Josias and I made our first trip to Mt. Dora just to stay at Farnsworth House, and we weren't disappointed. We felt at home the moment we pulled into the driveway. Vivian and Bob met us with warm smiles and a helping hand with our luggage. Our suite was spacious and exceptionally clean, with wonderful artwork created by... More

My husband David and I lodged at the Farnsworth House for one night and found Vivian and Bob very accommodating. We also traveled with our little 10lb mini schnauzer, Monkey. Monkey, loved the room and all the grassy areas which surrounded the house to run and play fetch. We stayed in the St. Andrews room, which is one of two... More

We stumbled on Farnsworth House quite by accident, but it was the best accidental find ever! Vivian and Bob are wonderful - they met us at the door, greeting us warmly, even offering to help carry our bags upstairs. We've stayed in quite a few B&B's and have never been welcomed so warmly! Very quiet, restful place to stay -... More

I have traveled to many places and stayed in a wide variety of accomodations and Farnsworth House ranks as one of my favorites. Bob greeted us warmly upon arrival and our room exceeded expectations. The Amber suite has a sitting room, a screened... More

Stayed in the St. Andrews room, which was clean and comfy. Very quiet property and the jacuzzi at night was a nice touch. Friendly and helpful owners made us feel at home. There are B&Bs in Mount Dora that are a tad more romantic in terms of the room decor and grounds, but Farnsworth will give you a real personal... More

This was our first stay at a B & B and we didn't know what to expect. The minute we met Vivian, we were made to feel right at home. Our first impression of the "Richard" room was of how charming and immaculate it was. We were very impressed....and it only got better from there. The etire grounds were as... More

Vivian & Bob are like FAMILY!!!!!! First time to visit and very HAPPY with EVERYTHING! They are awesome in all aspects, from their hospitality, to the food (great recipes from Bob), to the location. Also, Bob is a great artist with many of his painting displayed throughout the house. Will definitely recommend and go back to visit.

I booked this B&B as a surpise anniversary weekend getaway for my husband. Vivian and Bob made us feel special from the minute we got there, until the day we left. By the time we left we felt like old friends. We have stayed at numerous B&Bs, and this one rates at the top!
