Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Tavares

We had an incredible stay at Gateway Galloway Ranch! Our whole friend group loved it—especially hanging out in the pool and playing games on the Switch. The space was comfortable, fun, and had everything we needed. Best of all, it was super close to our friend’s wedding venue, which made everything so convenient. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a peaceful, secluded getaway that’s close to multiple natural springs—but just far enough from the hustle and bustle of Orlando—this is the place for you! Jose’s place truly checks all the boxes. The sunset views from the hot tub overlooking Crystal Lake are absolutely breathtaking. Having kayaks right on site made it so easy to get out on the water and completely disconnect for a while. If you’re curious about what “Orlando North” has to offer, I highly recommend booking a stay here. You won’t be disappointed!

We had a wonderful time at the Mermaid Cottage. Steve, Amy and their son were wonderful hosts. Steve was so easy to communicate with and immediately solved any issues that we had. We were very happy with the inside of the lovely cottage and totally enjoyed the front porch and beautiful backyard. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood especially to downtown Mt. Dora. The neighbors were extremely friendly and we got to know many of them. We highly recommend the Mermaid Cottage. Thank you Steve&Amy for a lovely vacation. Karen&Doug

We enjoyed our stay very much. the boat slip was handy. The backyard was comfortable and quiet.

Leah was a great host and very responsive. The house was great for me and my family while traveling for work. Awesome location in great neighborhood. I felt safe for my family while at work during the day. The pool area was great and the accommodations were suitable for our family. My 3 children had a blast and they had enough room to space out when necessary. Thanks Leah again for our stay and being a great host.

What an amazing 2 weeks with family!! Don’t hesitate to book this GEM of a home! It’s beautiful, peaceful (on a culdesac) SUPER QUIET at night, great spots to eat at the waterfront and all around Minneola in general. We had an issue with warming the spa and both were very responsive, ordered the part and within 2 days its was perfect. This house had EVERY amenity you would need and then some…games indoor and outdoor, kids books, fire pit, swing, blankets to cozy up on couch, dog bowls, leashes, toys etc. They truly make you feel like it’s home. We can’t rave about it enough!! We were only a short half hour drive away from Disney also. Our 2 small dogs absolutely LOVED chasing lizards and frogs around the pool area! We would LOVE to come back if they would have us! Thank you again for being such great hosts! All you do to make your guests feel comfortable at home does NOT go unnoticed! Until next time beautiful Clermont/Minneola!!! 💕

In town for a baseball tournament. Location to the fields was great — less than a 10 minute drive! Everything was clean. We enjoyed the pool after a hot day at the field. We appreciated the grill and used it to make some hamburgers and hot dogs. Kitchen was well equipped. Would definitely stay again if we need to be in the area.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Stayed here for 2 nights and will definitely be coming back! Walking distance from restaurants and bars. 2 minutes drive to down town Mount Dora and the area is peaceful and quite! Extremely clean and beautifully decorated room with updated appliances. My favorite part is the back patio for when you come back from having a long day adventuring and just want to sip some wine

I wanted a place near downtown and Alex's place was perfect. The tiled floors help keep things cool

Have booked several times and stayed in multiple units. Have always found Garry’s rentals to be impeccably clean & well stocked. The beds are so comfortable as well!!

An amazing stay, this is what you picture when you want to go out in the country and have a farm, super peaceful, a ton of amenities and activities, super nostalgic, we had an amazing time

The host responded really quick to any questions. It was quiet and nice . The beds were so soft and comfy. I definitely will be back...

This is the second time my wife and I stayed here and both stays were exceptional. The place is clean, with beautiful views of the farm with horses. Quiet, with all amenities needed, and a beautiful pool that we enjoyed... we would happily recommend this place and the next time we are in the area, we would gladly book this place again!

The hosts were very friendly and accommodating for our trip! Whenever we came across them, they’d offer recommendations of nice places around, and were nice and friendly to chat with. They also provide a binder filled with places to eat and visit. It was very clean and comfortable, and I liked the decorations and theme for the unit. The backyard offered a nice natural view of the water with interesting wild life. It wasn’t too hard to get to, and is placed in a spot with many shops to visit and nature spaces to see. We were able to store food and cook proper meals while staying there, and the shower warmed up quickly. There was plenty of supplies for hygiene and cleaning provided. The A/C worked wonderfully and an additional fan was provided as well. Wifi was somewhat spotty at points, but stable for the most part. I would say this is a wonderful place to stay that’s cost-effective, comfortable, has friendly and kind hosts, and plenty of things to see and do nearby.

Absolutely Loved Our Stay! A True Home Away From Home! "Our stay at this vacation rental was absolutely wonderful! Booking was easy, and everything was top-notch. The home was beautifully maintained, sparkling clean, and welcoming. It's clearly a well-thought-through home, with every detail for guest comfort. The great location was a huge plus – convenient to attractions yet peaceful for unwinding. We also loved the well-stocked kitchen; it had everything for family meals, which was fantastic. Attention to detail was evident, from comfy furnishings to helpful local tips. The hosts clearly put thought into making guests feel comfortable and at home. This rental exceeded expectations, creating a memorable vacation. We'd book again and highly recommend it for a fantastic, convenient, and thoughtfully prepared stay!"

It was great staying here— nice and quiet place in a very clean and cozy cabin! Abner and his family were very friendly and went over the top to welcome us to their home!

The photos don’t do this cabin justice!! Off the beaten path but close to everything! Beautiful inside and out. Already planning our next family vacation once the attached cabin opens!!!

Wow! The ranch is beautiful, the staff is kind and came up to talk about their horses and events, the horses love some good scratches. This is a little patch of Heaven! 🩵

We Loved our weekend getaway at Darlene’s quaint cabin. It was an easy (and less than 2 hour) drive from Tampa! The location was great and easily accessible to the surrounding lakes and great restaurants with some awesome live music. The provided John boat was great for cruising the canals and fishing… we even caught lots of bluegill and a few good-sized bass right off of the dock at the cabin! Darlene was super responsive from the time of booking until our departure, although we only reached out to her to thank her for sharing her little piece of paradise with us. We will definitely return to this little gem!

We had a truly relaxing and peaceful stay at Bob’s beautiful lakeside property. The setting was perfect — quiet, scenic, and surrounded by nature. I especially loved spending time by the water and photographing the wildlife. Bob and Melanie were wonderful hosts, making sure everything was comfortable and easy. If you’re looking for a peaceful and pet friendly getaway to reconnect with nature, this is the perfect spot. We can’t wait to come back!

Our family of 5 enjoyed Teddy’s place while visiting Silver Springs. The beds were super comfy, kitchen stocked and amenities perfect. We enjoyed the Sandhill Crane family that visited us each morning while having our coffee in the screened in porch. The view is lovely, canoes/kayaks/fire pit and dock an added treat. We’d definitely return.

Very Beary Cabin provided a beautiful and relaxing break from reality. Nancy is probably the best host I have ever worked with. I spent a ton of time in the swing, on the dock listening to the birds and relaxing with the beautiful view of Crystal Lake. We would definitely return!

We had such an amazing stay at ‘The Charming Little Barn’! From the moment our reservation was booked, Ms Maribel was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and always available to answer our questions which made us feel right at home. The barn was spotless, cozy and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect, with easy access to everything we needed. And I can’t express enough the perfect fenced yard for our fur babies. I would highly recommend Maribel's place to anyone and would love to stay here again on my next visit. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!
