How to FIND US!!!!!
From the Florida Turnpike
Many of our Guests coming from the 'South', will want to use the 'Florida Turnpike' to the '429 Expressway' - East ('To Apopka'): This exit is just North of Orlando, and only a Few Miles past the 'Turkey Lake' Service Plaza! It is a VERY WELL marked 'Exit'... BUT YOU MUST 'WORK' your way to the Right after passing the '408' Interchange... since the '429' Cut-Off is ONLY two Miles ahead!!
In approximately 8 miles, you will see the first sign for "Orange Blossom Trail" / US Hwy 441... '2 Miles Ahead'.
In a little over a mile, you will see the Plymouth / Mount Dora Exit 33 Sign...
Soon, another sign will advise you... that the "Expressway Ends" in 1/4 Mile.
'429' ENDS at "Orange Blossom Trail" / US Hwy 441... Here you will (it would be BEST!!) turn LEFT on to 441 North...
and the Mount Dora 'TURN OFF' is about 11 miles away to the North! But before reaching the Mount Dora "Blue Sign'...
You will go through Plymouth and then Zellwood: The last intersection you Cross with a Traffic Light before you Turn, is Sadler Road...
There are 2 Gas Stations on your LEFT... a Shell and a Citco... Continue STRAIGHT on 441, your 'Turn' is now less than 2 miles.
In the distance, on the Right, you can see the Blue 'Welcome to Mount Dora' Sign!!
On your left, just before the TURN, is Vincent's Restaurant...
SLOW DOWN... the Turn Lane comes up QUICKLY!!!!
Here it is... on the Left... 'Get Over'!!
STOP... and Turn Left.
You are now about to turn on to 'OLD 441'... the Road the went through so many Wonderful Places... Decades ago...
It is still called 'Old 441'... but it is hard to find a sign saying that... Orange County says it is now 500A!!
Well... you just entered Mount Dora!!!
Continue straight, through the 'Hwy 46' intersection...
At the next light... Turn LEFT!! Watch for Jeremiah's on the far right corner!
WELCOME to MOUNT DORA!!
You are now passing through the 'Center' of Town!!
Continuing through the second traffic light...
around the curve...
and 'Along the WALL'...
Heron Cay Lakeview Bed and Breakfast emerges on your Right!!
You Will not Miss it!!... But if you are looking for a sign...
Look carefully, and you will find it 'Hiding'...
at the corner of our Entrance Drive!! (A Much Nicer one is in the 'WORKS'!!)
Turn right, and Enter our Driveway...
You have ARRIVED!!!
