Wednesday Business Spotlight: Dora Canal Court | TAVARES

Some businesses tell a story about more than what they sell. They tell a story about the community around them. This week, LCN is highlighting Dora Canal Court in Tavares, a family-owned waterfront cottage property whose history stretches back to 1971. Located along the Dora Canal, the property has remained connected to the same family for decades and is now being carried forward by a third generation. Guests stay in individual cottages while being positioned near one of Lake County’s best-known waterways and the lakes that help define the Tavares area. That combination of family history and location is what caught our attention. Lake County has changed enormously since the early 1970s. A local hospitality business remaining tied to the same family across generations represents a different kind of local growth — one built around continuity. For residents who have never heard of it, Dora Canal Court is also another reminder that some of Lake County’s most interesting places can be hiding surprisingly close to home.
