When the Florida sun shines a little longer and Lake Dora sparkles like a sapphire, there’s no better place to embrace the magic of summer than at Lakeside Inn.
Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or a spontaneous day trip, here’s how to make the most of your summer by the lake:
🌿 Morning Bliss
Wake up to golden light streaming through your windows and the peaceful hum of cicadas. Start your day with fresh-brewed coffee on the Verandah—best enjoyed with a buttery croissant and a view of the shimmering lake.
🚤 Afternoons on the Water
Rent a pontoon, paddleboard, or take a historic boat tour from the dock. Lake Dora invites you to explore its cypress-lined shores, hidden coves, and maybe even spot a gator or two (from a safe distance, of course!).
🍹 Golden Hour Sips
As the day softens, gather at The Veranda for lakeside cocktails. Our summer specials include the Lavender Lemonade Spritz and the Lake Breeze Margarita—perfectly paired with small plates and laughter.
🛍️ Stroll & Shop in Mount Dora
Take a short walk into town and discover charming boutiques, galleries, and antique shops. With the sun on your shoulders and ice cream in hand, it’s a slice of small-town summer you won’t forget.
🎶 Starry Nights & Southern Nights
Evenings at Lakeside Inn glow with Southern romance—twinkling lights, cool breezes, and the soft strum of live music on select weekends. Stay late. Stay over. Stay enchanted.
Your Summer Escape Awaits
Whether it’s a romantic weekend, a girlfriends’ getaway, or a solo soul-refresh, Lakeside Inn is your timeless summer retreat.
📅 Book your stay today—and let the lake set your pace.
