Inn Details
Thurston House has a quiet & serene setting, yet is only 5 miles north of downtown Orlando. Our 1885 Queen Anne Victorian farmhouse style home has been lovingly restored, boasting beautiful woodwork and floors. Furnished using a comfortable and eclectic blend of antiques & reproductions, all three rooms have queen-sized beds, private baths, and desk with phone. Complimentary wireless Internet is available throughout the inn and even on the wraparound porch! We are set amid eight acres of land overlooking charming Lake Eulalia, yet are minutes from great restaurants, museums and shopping. Winter Park is just moments away too! The wooded acerage around us has a low key walking trail for your enjoyment. Take a stroll and listen to the birds singing away. They really enjoy our Certified Wildlife Habitat! For those not motivated to stroll, and porch rockers are waiting for you.

Breakfast was artfully presented and very tasty. Our room was very comfortable and tastefully decorated with period pieces. The innkeeper gave excellent attention to detail and we were delighted to spend 2 nights in such a lovely setting. Just 10 minutes away from fine dining and shopping. Would highly recommend.
