Simply magical!!!
Do NOT hesitate to book this absolutely amazing castle. The property and grounds are beautiful. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay at the Peeking Peacock Inn. Ollie and Ed are the most thoughtful and caring hosts. They really want to make sure your trip is memorable. From the moment of arrival to our departure we were treated like royalty. Ollie’s stunning artwork is throughout the house and the decor is just exceptional. What a wonderful anniversary getaway. It was so special to have an anniversary treat waiting for us and the peacock tote and feather I will treasure always. Location is a short drive to downtown and Renninger’s. Mount Dora is such a beautiful place but this property made our trip extraordinary. Oh, and the peacocks do actually peek at you so make sure you look up at those skylights where we saw several looking down at us. At dusk the peacocks would perch high in the trees. So very awesome to see. We will definitely be back. Thank you again Ollie and Ed for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Was an incredible wedding weekend! Such a unique stay: the property, furninshings, artwork, etc! And our host, Ollie Ann, is an absolute gem! She will ensure your every need is met and then some! Whether its a stay-cation or your visiting the Mt. Dora area, I couldn't recommend this enough! We will never forget the time spent here. Hopefully you'll get to see the peacocks!
