Grandview B&B Mount Dora

Great location to downtown just a couple blocks away, easy walk. This has been one of the nicest B&B’s that we have stayed at, calm and quiet area we felt relaxed and at home here. Our room was amazing and our host made us feel very welcome and always made sure we had what we needed to be comfortable. We will be back Mount Dora is beautiful lots of great places to eat and shop especially if you like antiquing!! Price was on point with others I selected this B&B because of the pool area and gardens but pics online did not do it justice the property is beautiful and immaculately kept.

This is truly one of the BEST stays I’ve EVER had! From the gorgeous property, to the intriguing history, to the super sweet owners (who were also fabulous chefs- was the Benton’s bacon?!)… i’ve had at least eight hotel stays this year, and a place like this. Makes me feel like I need to get out. Can’t wait to go back!

Gwendolyn and Dennis are fantastic host. They go above and beyond to take care of their guest. The property and breakfast are amazing. We will definitely stay there again. We would highly recommend staying there. It is close enough to walk downtown

Stayed at the Grandview B&B for a weekend getaway and had a wonderful time. The room was great with a large bathroom, the breakfast meals were all homemade and stellar, and the owners and staff were very friendly and accommodating. We also took advantage of the weather and sat outside on the large porch and around the pool area. The other great thing was the proximity to the downtown. We parked are car for the weekend and was able to walk everywhere we needed! Shops, bars, and restaurants all within walking distance. Highly recommend the place.

We enjoyed our visit to Mount Dora. The property was lovely with plenty of parking. It was easy to walk to Main Street for dinner and shopping and right near the park where Cycle Mount Dora takes place. Gwendolyn was a wonderful hostess always checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

8/11/23: We saw this inviting property on a day trip to Mt Dora prior to Covid. It’s on a large fenced corner lot with huge trees, nice landscaping, large verandah and big in ground pool with paver deck. We knew we’d need to come back to stay a few days, but then Covid messed up a lot of our plans. Finally we were able to plan for a mid week getaway from Tampa. When we arrived Gwendolyn gave us a tour of the building, and showed us how to work the TV, where to get more bottled cold water, and tips for use of the keys, The room we reserved was just as sweet as the picture on their website. I loved the pretty little bathroom with its fluffy Turkish towels and frosted window providing great light for applying makeup. She asked if we’d like a beer or glass of wine. We explained that we’d probably prefer some wine later after dinner. She told us we’d have a carafe in the little frig near our room. She left 2 lovely wine glasses as well. Then she gave us a map of the area with restaurants, shops and attractions clearly marked, as well as comments about popular favorites. Despite unusually hot and humid days, even for Florida, the entire home was wonderfully cool. In spite of that, the large L shaped verandah with ceiling fans, cushioned rockers and more beckoned us to sit and relax awhile in between seeing sights. We kept busy enough that we didn’t get to use the pool, but towels and sunscreen are supplied as well. In the evening the lighting on the verandah and around the pool deck creates a calm and peaceful mood. By the next day we were eager to tell Gwendolyn how valuable her tips had been and had a few more questions. Not only did she stop what she was doing to listen to our comments and answer questions, but she spent quite some time sharing local stories and getting to know us. Grandview is a beautiful and well cared for property in Mt Dora’s historic district. Even in mid summer, finding parking in the business district can be challenging. If you can walk a half dozen blocks or so, its location is pretty ideal. Park just once and walk to just about anything on the map. Gwendolyn and Dennis have been running the Grandview B&B for 8 years and their level of hospitality is outstanding. The building has truly lovely furnishings and decor that made it easy to be comfortable. Coffee/tea are served each morning. After inquiring about any food allergies or aversions terrific farm to table breakfasts we had included fruit, eggs, bacon, quiche, pancakes, honey, French toast, sausage link, home fries and more. I usually eat very light in the morning but it looked, smelled and tasted SO good! I left the table stuffed with flavorful goodness. From the time we crossed the threshold until we departed, we were treated like long time friends. It takes very special people to create that kind of feeling but the owners of Grandview definitely do just that!
