4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW

Although it needs a little work on the outside it is easily over looked once you step inside.. We stayed in the Zoe Garden room which is one of the pet friendly rooms. We had a nice deck overlooking the landscaped back yard and pool. The innkeepers are very sweet and great cooks. The breakfast were great even on the... More

Other reviewers are right; this B&B is a clutter-hater's nightmare, and breakfast arrived so slowly I lost my appetite. The location is good, and the water was hot, but I would happily have traded any number of borzoi figurines (and paintings, and stuffed toys, and prints and salts & peppers) for ironed sheets, newish towels and door keys that worked....

I recently stayed at this B&B with my elderly father. I reserved a pet friendly room because I did not feel my father could climb the staircase in the main house. The owner, Margie opened up our room and I immediately smelled a STRONG odor of pet urine. It made me sick to think I paid so much money for... More

We enjoyed our first stay of 3 nights at Heron Cay so much that we booked to renew our wedding vows there on December 27. Margie and Randy work so hard to make your stay a pleasant one. The breakfasts are delicious and it is a pleasure to sit and enjoy a leisurely breakfast and talk with the other guests.... More

I don't know how this B&B is rated so highly. It's certainly not the hospitality, the food or the amenities. Our room was clean and the location is good. The main area is so cluttered it made us dizzy but if you like clutter you'll love it. I am puzzled why it received such a high rating???? The owner's really... More

It’s easy to see why we have such a high rating; AAA is a professional organization that gives us 4 Diamonds through a process of anonymously staying as a guest, a status given to less than 4% of the lodging establishments in this country. This rating is not a popularity contest. These guests were a large group, five couples that... More

I stayed at Heron Cay 1 night and was quite pleased with: 1. The hosts are friendly and down to earth people. 2. Breakfast- Randy's poached eggs were delicious. 3. Sitting on the front porch in the evening viewing the sunset over the lake was quite restful. 4. Large room suite that was clean. 5.There's a path through the woods... More

This majestic Victorian Manor overlooks Lake Dora in the quaint, nostalgic town of Mt. Dora. It accommodates 6 guest rooms, some with Fireplaces. There is a pleasant, private walk only 4-5 blocks to the historic downtown filled with many antiques and art. "Chef" Randy makes a srumptious fried-poached egg surrounded with fruits, fresh OJ off the tree, and homemade breads.... More

Margie was very nice. Breakfast was served in waves and she apologized for the lateness of it as each wave was served. We understood that delays happen the first morning. The second morning was running so far behind we just left. There are some maintenance needs for the building. The website says tea and refreshments but those did not materialize.... More

At first sight, this big, Victorian house that was built as a B&B overlooking a beautiful lake looked like it would be very nice - our room was clean and had a separate entrance, a great convenience because we had our dog with us, and "pet-friendly" was the selling point of this place. On closer inspection and as time went... More

Obvious revenge cause Mom got angry. These guests were given a two night stay by his mother on a busy holiday weekend. When they brought extra guests in the room and they obviously tried to avoid eye contact upon checking in and again at breakfast the next morning, I was not sure what was going on. Mom made all arrangements... More

This could be a nice place if someone else were running it. Our main complaint is with the owner, Margie. There were minor complaints we were fine with overlooking (rotting hole in porch ceiling, dogs in kitchen, hole in stairway wall, cold hot tub, rusty pool furniture, hair in the bathtub, breakfast later than stated, etc.). What we weren't able... More
