Make the Most of Your Howey-in-the-Hills Stay

Historic elegance in Central Florida's hills

Howey-in-the-Hills rises from Central Florida's flatlands with unexpected topography nicknamed "The Florida Alps." Founded in 1925 by citrus magnate William J. Howey, this quiet town centers on the restored Howey Mansion, a 20-room Mediterranean Revival estate designed by pioneering architect Katherine Cotheal Budd. The mansion's wrought-iron gates and horseshoe drive evoke Florida's land boom era, while Mission Resort + Club continues that legacy with 2 championship golf courses and lakefront dining that draws visitors seeking refined experiences away from Orlando's intensity.

Waterfront recreation and Old Florida character

Little Lake Harris defines the town's rhythm, where locals and visitors arrive by boat to JB Boondocks for fresh seafood and sunset views. The Sara Maude Mason Nature Preserve offers boardwalk trails through floodplain forest, contrasting the resort's manicured fairways. Griffin Park's boat ramp connects you to the Harris Chain of Lakes. Nearby Yalaha Bakery serves exceptional German pastries that have become part of the local culinary circuit.

Practical considerations

You'll need a car—Orlando International Airport sits 50 minutes southeast, and public transit doesn't reach town. Mission Resort + Club serves as the primary hub for upscale accommodations, while historic Citrus Avenue offers a walkable glimpse into the community's heritage. Mount Dora's antique district and Lakeridge Winery make worthwhile excursions within 30 minutes.
