    Enter the house that was the home of E.B. Alling, a well-known Orange City mayor, for over 40 years and go back in time to the formative years of Orange City. Learn how Orange City was founded during the expansion of modern civilization into Florida along a prominent transportation route provided by the St. John's River. Hospitality being her strength, Nan's warmth and love will immediately make you feel like a close relative who has come home. You won't want to leave. We look forward to providing the opportunity and environment that will allow you to accomplish everything you're looking for from your vacation.

    We picked the Railway Cottage for its verandah, rocking chairs, and railway theme. But imagine having an actual working model railway mounted around the perimeter of one room. And so many other things "railway". And then, to find milk, water, and juice in the fridge, cereal in the cupboard of a full working kitchen including washer/dryer, and be offered kayaks and transport to nearby Blue Springs Park. And to have a binder of useful information about the surrounding area. We opted for breakfast in the main house and both days were amazing; they even catered to my wheat sensitivity with gluten-free pancakes. It was lovely to chat with this engaging couple who truly enjoy what they are doing. The grounds were lovely to look at with various benches and bird baths - just what we needed. And so quiet. We would go back there for longer just to do more outings, say, to the ocean just 30 miles away, and to spend more time curled up with the movies and books they offered. The manatees at Blue Springs Park were so easy to see in the clear spring water. We truly felt pampered. Liz, Kathryn, and Allan - Toronto, Ontario.

    Gerald and Nan have done a great job of location, home and service! We would highly recommend staying at Alling House for anyone visiting Central Florida. Easy access to everything, relaxing parks nearby, and the stay, food, accomodations and hosting was superb.

    Charming, Convenient, and Professional with a touch of Home

    We stayed in a cottage, which was beautifully furnished, well equipped, and comfortable. One of us had breakfast in the lodge; it was great. The owners offered to lend us kayaks and drive them with us to a dock. If we're ever in the area again we'll very likely return to this lovely B&B.

    exceeded my expectations

    Nan and Gerald were gracious hosts, very attentive to our needs, but unobtrusive. Breakfast was very good, and we had the option to have it delivered to our room, instead of dining in the main house, which we took advantage of. We stayed in the Victorian cabin. It was nicely appointed, spacious and very clean, comfortable and private. If we had forgotten anything at home, they had thought of all the neccessities and had them available if needed. The towels were changed daily, beds made and juice, milk, cereal, snacks, coffee and tea were provided in our room, as well as a selection of movies to watch. If we had wanted to ride bikes, they were available to use, all these things at no additional charge. The Alling House is easy to get to and centrally located. It is also situated in a very pretty setting. We would highly recommend!!! Sincerely, Kevin and Lisa Barrowman 12/14/11
