Located 25 miles northwest of Orlando, Mt. Dora has a New England-like charm with its numerous antique shops and bed and breakfast inns.

The town is situated on Lake Dora, part of the Harris Chain of Lakes. Mt. Dora hosts one of the south's premier art festivals as well as several antique festivals throughout the year.
