Eola House at Lake Eola Park

What an amazing park. LOVED it!!! Walked all around the lake and between the interesting people also out exercising and the nifty wild life and great scenery it surpassed my expectations. Loved my morning walk!!!

4 Stars for location, location, location!
Eola House is a historic 1924 house-​turned-​rental space owned by the city, right by Lake Eola. It may seem like an odd sight in the middle of the park, but in fact it used to exist in a line of historic homes that were taken down for the park expansion. Now it sits alone, right off of the walking path surrounding the Lake.
The home is lovely and features a sunroom, living room, parlor, outdoor terrace, upstairs area with a balcony, bridal changing room, and more. Recently I went for a lunch meeting in their upstairs space, the Summerlin Room ($ 75/​hr rental with a 2 hr min). It was a lovely spot and fit our group of fifteen perfectly.
I’ll admit that I had been to the house once before to help with another event and the room wasn’t set to the specifications agreed upon so we had to move and reset the chairs and tables right before the meeting. I remember the event organizer was quite annoyed… Hopefully it was a fluke!
Side note– There is no elevator and the stairs are quite narrow. This is worth mentioning in case your event includes someone with mobility issues or who uses a wheelchair.
As I was heading out I stopped in a room by the front and appreciated the array of pamphlets set up– ranging from history of the house to an Orlando biking map. There were also tourist pamphlets with the typical attractions (presumably for out of town guests of weddings of meetings).
Overall, this is a beautiful meeting/​event space that is priced reasonably and located in the heart of the city.
