Relax on the Dora Canal & Harris Chain of Lakes w/Boat Dock, Kayaks & Fire Pit | House in Tavares
3 Bedroom House in Tavares
Conveniently located on the scenic Dora Canal, a mile long waterway connecting Lake Dora and Lake Eustis, situated on the Harris Chain of Lakes which is comprised of 8 primary lakes (Apopka, Harris, Griffin, Eustis, Dora, Beauclair, Carlton and Yale) and offers excellent fishing opportunities for all anglers. Boating, kayak and paddleboard enthusiasts can enjoy riding down the picturesque Dora Canal taking in all the natural beauty and seeing the local wildlife (birds, alligators, turtles and even an occasional otter or two). You can book an Eco-Tour with Rusty Anchor Boat Tours, Premier Boat Tours, Catboat Adventure Tour (where you can enjoy driving your own 2 person catboat) or visit Adventure Outdoor Paddle to explore Lake Dora and the Dora Canal by kayak, standup paddleboard or hydro bike. If you're really adventurous and want to experience things from a birds eye view, visit Jones Brothers & Co Air and Seaplane Adventures for fantastic tours and excursions - you won't be disappointed! The Dora Canal Cottage is just minutes from downtown Tavares (also known as America's Seaplane City) & beautiful Mount Dora (often referred to as Someplace Special), both of which host events, concerts and festivals year round.
This 3bdr/2bath spacious and charming home sleeps up to 8 guests, features 2 beautifully decorated living areas, large updated kitchen with seating for 4, a dedicated indoor dining area that seats 8 as well as an outdoor dining table that seats 8. We offer kayaks, a paddle boat and boat dock use for outdoor recreation. When you stay at the Dora Canal Cottage, you will find a peaceful, relaxing retreat from it all. From the backyard, you can enjoy what we can only describe as a parade of boats where you'll experience smiling and waving from locals and tourists alike! You can bring your own boat or rent one from nearby Mount Dora Boating Center, Palm Gardens Boat Rental or Lake Adventures Boat Rental & enjoy cruising the Harris Chain of Lakes and docking at one of the many city docks and exploring the fantastic local shops, restaurants & bars. Book a sandbar, lake or sunset cruise with Cruisin Tikis Lake Dora or enjoy a tour of Lake Dora aboard the luxury 80 foot paddle wheel boat the Dora Queen.
We are close to many of the local Wedding Venues (The Carriage House at Vedder Farms, The Packing House, Tavares Pavillion on the Lake, O'Brien Oaks, Chapel Valley Farm, Sydonie Mansion and The Howey Mansion to name a few) so staying with us is very convenient for the happy couple or wedding guests alike. Here you can travel about an hour to all the Major Theme Parks, then come home and unwind sitting at the fire pit overlooking the water and enjoying nature. Conveniently located about 1-2 hours from many of Florida's World Famous Beaches & State Parks, the Dora Canal Cottage is unique because while it is centrally located, making it super convenient for anyone wanting to pack in the fun while on vacation, you can just as easily take a break from the world and enjoy the tranquility of the Dora Canal Cottage with none of the hustle and bustle. You really have to experience it to understand all the Dora Canal Cottage has to offer!
