Tavares Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Tavares is often referred to as the “hub” of Lake County in Central Florida. Not only in location but in business, government and culture as well. This small, charming town is surrounded by the gently rolling hills and numerous lakes of Lake County. Attractions abound in the area, along with country scenery and fresh air – making it a very enjoyable escape from city life. Children love visiting Uncle Donald’s Farm where you can meet adorable farm animals up close, or the Amazing Exotics Education Center which has more than 300 exotic and endangered animals on view. The Trout Lake Nature Center has picnicking, hiking and environmental education opportunities, and you can be a cowboy for a day at Fiddler’s Green Ranch, where National Mounted Police horses are trained. Eighteen beautiful golf courses are located near Tavares, and wine-tasting tours are available at Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards. The town of Tavares is host to the annual “Downtown Fall Festival” at the end of October, and the “Light Up Celebration,” usually held in late fall. In Tavares, you will find secluded resorts, romantic bed & breakfasts and beautiful historic inns. All the peace and relaxation of the countryside – just a short drive to the excitement of Orlando.
