We went to Mt. Dora to see the big November antique show. Found Christopher's Inn on Tripadvisor and liked the reviews. We were able to get a room on short notice. Arrived late, 10:00 PM, and Inez stayed up for us. She was very gracious. The rooms were very nice. The Inn is on a quiet street, there is a nice screened porch to sit on, and there is plenty of parking. We stayed two nights and had two WONDERFUL breakfasts.

The only down side was that the mattress in the Jacqueline room was firmer than expected.

We contacted Inez in July for our anniversary weekend in Mt. Dora (Sept 9-11). We had just had a terrible experience booking with another B&B. Inez displayed absolute grace and compassion for our plight and promptly booked our room. No deposit was required and you could just tell from talking to her this was going to be a good experience. Upon arrival on September 9th, after a six-hour drive, we were greeted by Jack and Inez's daughter, Sheila and her husband Dave. What an absolute treat it is to interact with this family! Sheila showed us around the home and we instantly fell in love with it's charm as well as it's owner's southern hospitality. The home was built in 1886 and just feels warm and comfortable. JACK'S DEN (the suite we stayed in) is a separate building from the main structure and offers a complete home away from home experience. Although it was just the two of us (after all it was our anniversary, lol) the suite boasts a king and queen bed, dining set for four, refrigerator, microwave, 42" tv with DVD player, a small divan as well as a rocker and comfy chair for seating, and a beautiful victorian table lamp with a red velvet shade! You certainly will not be disappointed in selecting Jacks' Den for your stay although each of the rooms is warm and inviting!! Breakfast was a full meal even on the two days we were the only guests. The food was outstanding as well as being a different menu each day. The dining area and main house are very welcoming and cozy. As an added bonus you might want to arrange a private carriage ride through "Hitch In Time" (352.255.4903) ... you will NOT be disappointed!! Barbara at HIT arranged for the carriage to pick us up right in the driveway of Christopher's Inn for our anniversary dinner. Inez graciously ageed to pick us up following dinner. We will be back!!

This Bed and Breakfast is awesome. Great hospitallity from your host Jack and Inez Simpson. The B&B provides you with all you need for a quite getaway and will charm you with the southern hospitality and great southern breakfast. The rooms are very well maintained and are very comfy. We will diffiently be back time and time again.

Inez and Jack have a really great place. There are 4 guest rooms all decorated in Victorian style to match the rest of this lovely home. They are friendly people glad to give advice on where to go eat, place to see and general advice of the area. The breakfasts both days were great. Sunday's breakfast of pancakes and strawberries was right out of Gourmet magazine. I would stay here again when we visit Mount Dora.
