Nothing says old Southern luxury quite like a beautiful historic hotel with lavish gardens and lakeside views. Even President Calvin Coolidge found quiet refuge here with the First Lady in the 1930s.
Guests to this tranquil waterfront escape can expect Victorian-era charm, delicious food, horseless carriage rides, incredible sunsets, and more. Here are ten reasons you’ll love staying here.
Immediately upon entering the grounds of the Lakeside Inn, visitors are greeted by the cobblestone street, lush gardens, and soft yellow color of the buildings.
If you like history, treasures of information are located all over the grounds. Visitors can book a stay in the “The Coolidge Room,” where President Calvin Coolidge and the First Lady stayed in 1930.
The room boasts incredible views of Lake Dora from a study nook the President himself used. And just think, in 1930, the President would have accessed the Lakeside Inn in Mount Dora from the area’s famous chain of lakes and canals connecting from the Atlantic Ocean.
