As others have said, this property is "historical." And yes, that means old. Unfortunately, the prior owner apparently invested pretty much nothing in upkeep, and was allowed to deteriorate for quite some time. While the new owner has been working for a year or so to improve things (e.g., by replacing the roof and stopping further water damage), it will... More

Upon arriving at Lakeside Inn the allure began with being told my sitting on the porch, rocking in a rocking chair watching the sunset was one of 1000 places to see before you pass on, The history is amazing, I took a ghost walk that was both history and mystery, I kept in mind the new owner is rehabilitating this...

The perfect place to stay when visiting Mount Dora! The staff was hospitable and friendly...the atmosphere nostalgic and charming...I slept like a baby and ate like a queen! Poolside bar, lakeside view, gorgeous sunset, Adirondack chairs by the lake, historical photos telling the story of this wonderful property. The location is perfect right on the edge of the picturesque lakeside... More

The charm of the Lakeside Inn is the historic history of the Inn and town. Our beautiful room overlooked the lake and even had a private stair to the pool area. We picked this retreat to just relax and enjoy the resort. The pool is beautifully kept and the grounds are well maintained. Evenings we would sit with a glass... More

This historic inn, built in 1886 has the best location in town. Set high on a hill, overlooking the lake, the view from the front porch, sitting in a rocking chair, is worth every penny; but stay in the "off-season", like we did, and it is a bargain! Yes, the rooms are small, and the bathrooms don't have any counters,... More

This place is a dump. The rooms are small and musty. I reserved a king room well in advance, but when I checked in, all they had was a room with 2 double beds. The 2nd night they told me they could put me in a king, but would have to "(tick) off someone else". I accepted! The bathrooms are... More

We stayed there last weekend for the Leesburg bikefest. The outside looked very nice, very quaint. However.....we had reserved a king bed, got a 2 doubles, we had to switch rooms. The staff moved only half of our luggage though. Both rooms were very small, and the bathrooms were disgusting! The decor in the rooms were tacky and old (not... More

Last weekend we stayed at the Lakeside Inn at Mount Dora with friends. The inn was constructed in 1883 and has survived for 129 years. We found the rooms to be clean. The bathrooms are dated, but it added to the charm of the inn. We are all use to staying in new modern hotels but at times it is... More

We had 4 ladies stay for a 4 day weekend at the Lakeside Inn in Mt. Dora, FL. It's a charming hotel built in 1883 located directly on a lake in Central Florida. The furnishings are comfortable though not modern by any standard. The decor is simple but it brings you to a by-gone era where you can relax down... More
