THURSTON HOUSE
Charming B&B in a Victorian mansion near Downtown Orlando and Winter Park with cozy rooms with lake view
Ten minutes from Downtown Orlando and close to Winter Park, this charming B&B is housed in a Victorian mansion built in 1885 and set in a large garden. It offers 3 cozy and intimate rooms, one with a view of the lake. Each morning in the dining room, you will be served a delicious homemade breakfast consisting of plates of eggs cooked according to the mood of the day, pastries and fresh fruit. The owners, Carole and Joe, are very friendly and will be happy to talk with you. A haven of peace.

We really had a delightful stay with our host Beverly at the Thurston House. We have a lovely room (the O’Heir Suite). Nicely decorated with a comfortable bed and en suite. Very quiet. Flooded with sunlight in the mornings. And, bonus, the “sleeping porch” was adjacent to our room. I spent many hours rocking lazily in the Pawley’s Island hammock sipping some delicious Scotch and reading.
The service was perfect. Beverly has thought of everything. She was never more than a text away when we had a question. And, she’s a great cook! The breakfasts were bountiful and delicious!
It was just dumb luck but we happened to be visiting during the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival. Quite the affair! A juried festival, they invite more than 250 artists and welcome 350,000 visitors over three days. The Thurston House is so convenient to Winter Park. Less than four miles away. Or fellow B&B guest were able to give us some valuable tips regarding parking and Beverly made some wonderful suggestions for restaurants!
We will definitely be visiting the Thurston House again!!
We can be challenging guests because of food issues, but Beverly met those challenges with the utmost care and served us a wonderful hearty breakfast. My wife and I have very high standards after running a very upscale inn, but I would place the Thurston House right next to ours in how we view how an Inn should be run. As I told Beverly, The Thurston House does nothing wrong and does everything right in our book. We cannot praise Beverly and Thurston House too high
