Description of the Montverde vacation cottage rental

Lakefront cottage in the heart of Central Florida close to Disney and Universal theme parks but worlds away from congestion and commercialism. It is one of five spotlessly clean, completely remodeled cottages in a quaint "fishcamp" from the 1940's. The surroundinding grounds are beautifully kept and very peaceful.
Three larger cottages are occupied year round and two cottages are available for short term rental. We are friendly and welcoming while respecting privacy and tranquility. Located in the picturesque "old Florida" town of Montverde, this cottage has a large wood deck and sits on a bluff overlooking the 4th largest lake in Florida. Private boatramp and covered boatslips for guests so bring your boat. Or, use our canoe or rowboat, or ask for a ride on our pontoon boat. Spectacular views and amazing bird and alligator sightings will delight all naturalists.
Completely furnished with fully equipped modern kitchen. Bedroom area has new, very comfortable, queen mattress and bedroom set. A queen pull out sofa bed is in the living area which is divided from the bedroom area by a 7' partition wall.
No maid service. Free WiFi and Direct TV.

Area Information

Florida's beautiful hill country is dotted with lakes and orange groves that surround the small town of Montverde 15 miles west of Orlando and five miles east of Clermont in Lake County. Old, oak trees covered in Spanish moss, house bald eagle and osprey nests. You can walk three blocks to tennis courts, the library, town parks and post office.
Bicyclists come here from all over the world to ride on our scenic back roads and the West Orange Trail. Golfers come for our famous golf courses and perhaps spot some famous golfers living in Windermere only 20 minutes from Montverde.
Of course, children of all ages come for Central Florida's theme parks, only a 30 to 40 minute drive from the cottages. The "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" just opened at Universal Studios. Sea World is close as are the fantastic Disney theme parks. Busch Gardens, the Space Center and Florida's fabulous beaches, on either coast, are all within an hour or two drive - just a day trip away.

Wine Cottage at Montverde Fl.

Great Place!! Fantastic view of Lake Apopka and its wildlife. My husband and I rented the cabin for a fishing trip. We fished many different lakes. The lakes were all in a short distance from our cottage. The owners (and family) were extremely nice people and very helpful. The "fish camp' gives you the privacy you want, as well as being only a short distance from restaurants and shopping. Great Location!! We hope to return.

Owner's reply:

ENJOYED OUR STAY

March 28, 2012

Jacqueline was so gracious she had everything you needed in the Wine Cottage. The area has a nice town that you could take morring or evenings walks and be safe. The cotaage was very relaxing and quiet. It was nice to go down to the dock and fish or just relax. Everyone who lives in the area was so nice and friendly.

MontVerde Lodge (Wine Cottage)

March 6, 2012

Very clean, compact Cottage in a lovely quiet setting away from all the hustle & bustle of urban areas.Enjoyed sitting on our deck watching alligators floating in the lake and listening to all the birds etc. around us. Although the cottage can sleep 4 we feel it is really ideal for a couple. Even though the other cottages are quite close the neighbours were wonderful and your privacy is totally respected and you can feel like you are completely alone. Ideal for a couple who want a relaxing stay where it is nice and warm while winter is happening at home Our hosts made us aware of local attractions, shopping areas etc. and were quick to help if any problems arose. All in all we certainly enjoyed the month we stayed at this location.

The Perfect Honeymoon

June 17, 2011

After a long drive from Tennessee to the Wine Cottage, we were greeted by Jackie and were blown away with both how absolutely nice and caring she is, but also just how beautiful the cottage is. We were tired after a 13 hour drive, and she was so sweet and even offered to cook us breakfast. The cottage overlooks a beautiful lake with hammocks and a deck to relax on and enjoy the view. We spent quite a bit of time at our cottage because it was so relaxing, peaceful, and just all-around wonderful. The large bed was comfortable, the kitchen was clean and the sofa bed was cozy for when we wanted to relax in the living room and watch movies. It's less than five minutes to Publix, and twenty minutes to Orlando. It's private, so we had a nice, quite honeymoon with lots of alone time to lounge and do as we please. Jackie was an absolute blessing and did everything she could to ensure we had the perfect honeymoon, which we definitely did, thanks in great part to her and her amazing cottage. It's a great deal, was easy to keep tidy, and in a perfect location. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially couples who want to relax and need privacy. Book this for your vacation or honeymoon - you won't regret it!

A whole new Florida experience.

We can't wait to go back. Nice to get away from the commercialism of Orlando. The host and hostesses were the some of the nicest people we have ever met. We felt more like family than renters. This is the place to be if you like to hang out by the lake and just enjoy the peace and quiet. The cabin was very comfortable and clean. Its a really nice community, very "old Florida"feel. Not far from good food and shopping. It was neat to see all the old orange groves in the area.

The best week ever

April 29, 2010

The family that own and manage this place are simply wonderful. So are the cottages. My wife and I wanted a location close to Orlando but rural and on the water. And close to some good golf. We got all we asked for an more. The cottages and the property are lovingly cared for and the owners have thought about just about everything. Watching the sun go down and come up from the deck and watching the gators and herons at play (not together) was simply amazing. You will love this spot if you like quiet, clean and cozy.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was clean and peaceful with a wonderful view of the lake. Location is great - close to everything we wanted to see. The owners are wonderful people and made things feel like home. I will be recommending this to family and friends.

Great little cottage, lake and trees

January 23, 2010

I was looking for a place that is reasonable, quiet, warm and with good scenery, along with good neighbors. I was very pleasantly surprised when I arrived, seeing both the lake and the huge old live oaks with Spanish moss. The owner and brother's family who live next door gave the guests a great pontoon boat ride the next day. They were there in another cottage for the weekend, and hospitality went on and on, including a great chili dinner on Sunday night. So it is easy to say that there is a family feeling there. Although it was quiet all day, it was at night as well. Aside from great music on several channels on the TV, the bullfrogs also provided quite a chorus, and the black sky had hundreds of stars and constellations. The kitchen is very well stocked, including all the spices you could want. My week there was wonderful! Just bring a cell phone (no phone), and see if the wireless connections can be improved.

First, let us say how much we enjoyed our stay in Montverde. Where did the time go? The view was beautiful and it was so very peaceful and relaxing there. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. Thank you so very much.

So beautiful and peaceful. I read books and watched the alligators while my husband rode his bicycle on the trails. Together we explored the little shops in the small towns of Central Florida. Our grandkids came down for a week and we took them to Disney. Perfect, cozy little cabin for us. Thank you. David and Pauline S. Rochester, NY

    My husband, Bill, and I recently retired. We are in our mid 60's and trying to relax a little more. The old fish camp with its quaint cottages and old marina is a labor of love for us.
