Thurston House Bed & Breakfast - Maitland, Florida

Road14106557138

My wife and I have now stayed twice at Thurston House and both have been exceptional experiences. We love the house and grounds. You can see beautiful sunrises from our room (the O'Heir). Beverly is a fantastic hostess. This past stay we took the cooking class which was a lot of fun. Eating our creations was even better! And the breakfasts are some of the best that we've had at any B&B. Also, the location is central to Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, Orlando and the surrounding area. We look forward to our next stay.

We just completed our 8th stay at Thurston House. Needless to say, we love staying here. The rooms are always clean and comfortable, and the view from the porch - with the trees and lake - is so peaceful. It is located just a short drive from Winter Park and Orlando with all the activities they offer. Beverly, the innkeeper is the consummate hostess and an amazing cook. We have many food allergies and I am vegan so it isn’t easy to cook for us but she always has delicious meals that accommodate our needs. It’s such a treat to stay here.

As a gift from our children in honor of our 50th anniversary, my husband and I stayed overnight at the Thurston House for two nights in September 2024. The minute we drove onto the grounds, we knew we were in for a lovely weekend. Large live oaks shaded a beautiful building. Beverly, the owner, greeted us warmly and showed us to a beautifully appointed room with a canopy bed, a fireplace, an old fashioned tub and lovely paintings/decorations. The breakfasts served both days were amazing. We were a short drive to downtown Winter Park, which offers restaurants, shopping, and a great boat ride. Thurston House is a lovely inn run by a lovely hostess.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas holiday at the Thurston! We stayed for 4 nights and each morning woke to a delicious breakfast. The innkeeper, Beverly, was so friendly and welcoming. Aside from being a fantastic chef, she can cater to pretty much any diet. For example: vegan, gluten free and dairy restrictions are no obstacle for her as she was able to cook up a delicious meal for all of us. I can't recommend this Bed and Breakfast enough!

Where do I start, my wife and I love it take mini vacations and like to go to bed and breakfasts. I say the Thurston house and it looked nice. We went with the romantic package and we checked in. First the house is beautiful,it’s been restored and being owners of a historic house we know a good job when we see it. We checked in and got a great tour and history of the house and went to our room. There was fresh flowers and fantastic chocolates waiting for us. After a drink on the sleeping porch we had a bucket of ice and our charcuterie box waiting for us, we planned on going out to eat but the amount and quality of food that she made up was more than enough for my wife and I to eat. I highly recommend getting this option and you would be disappointed! Now for the breakfast review….. I’m a big man 6’5” and have a good appetite and I had a hard time finishing my food both mornings and the food was excellent. Bottom line we will definitely be back and hope you will choose to to, you won’t be disappointed.

A TREASURE FIND!!!

Peaceful, serene, and fabulous food....if you are wanting these, I highly recommend Thurston House!!!

The room in which I stayed was spacious and extremely comfortable all-around!
It is SO quiet, and the bed is most comfortable!!!
Lots of natural lighting, which I also prefer.
The woodwork throughout the house is exquisite, and the house itself is rich in history!!
The grounds are lovely, abounding with lovely trees and flowers and a lake to enjoy, too. A sense of peace and serenity envelope the house.

All five of the breakfast meals I ate were out-of-this-world delicious!!!!
Besides being an superb cook, Beverly is an amazing, delightful, warm, quiet-spoken innkeeper (and owner) who willingly and gladly accommodates her guests needs!! Her love and care for this home is apparent!

Given the opportunity, I will choose to stay at Thurston House every time I visit the area and, without hesitation, highly recommend this oasis!!

I had a lovely stay at the historic Thurston House this month. The house is very comfortable, spacious and clean. Beverly is a warm and gracious host and in addition to preparing a sumptuous breakfast, there is trail mix and homemade cookies if you need a quick snack. The screened-in porches, including the sleeping porch, are delightful places to admire the beautiful landscaped grounds.

Very beautiful historic home in Maitland Florida. Peaceful setting. Host was fabulous. Breakfast was amazing. It was close to many great places to visit and eat. For anyone that appreciates Bed and Breakfast this one is top notch. We will be back again.
