“An Oasis in a Hectic World !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

We came to Thurston House near the end of our vacation in Florida. We couldn't have found a better place to spend our last two nights before heading to Sanford (just 1/2 hour away) to take the Amtrak Auto Train back up North. We were greeted personally by our hostess Carole. We enjoyed wine & cheese with Carole & Joe before heading out to dinner to a wonderful little Italian Restaurant recommended by our hosts. Coming from the Northeast we were suprised to find an excellent Italian Rest. in Florida. The next day we went to the nearby "Audubon Bird of Prey" sanctuary. The peacefulness of the expansive screened-in porches was like a warm cocoon enveloping you in it's warmth. At night I heard the owls as I relaxed on the porch. Individual tables in the Dining Room allowed you either privacy or social chatter with other guests. Breakfasts were delicious and you definitely didn't leave hungry. Thank you Carole and Joe for a beautiful, peaceful end to a less than relaxing vacation !!

Room Tip: All rooms are beautifully appointed and peaceful.

“why stay anywhere else”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

Maitland House is very close to Winter Park and Orlando. It is tucked-away, off the road and has a beautiful lake view, large porch with comfy chairs, magnificent bkfst. The O"Heir Room is elegant, comfy bed, desk, two chairs, internet access. Private bathroom with tub/shower.

Innkeepers Carole and Joe are more than friendly and accomodating. The bkfst is scrumptious, lots of snacks, drinks, cheese/wine in the p.m. Why stay at a hotel?

I will come back here again?

Room Tip: Check the website, I stayed in the O'Heir Room

Our room, porch view to the lake and many extra's made this a delight.
Carole and Joe are very friendly people that make you feel right ar home.
John and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary at the Thurston House.
We look forward to a return stay.

“Amazing place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

My husband and I chose this place for our honeymoon. Carole and Joe were very professional but yet very welcoming and accommodating. We felt as if it was our home, it's a clean and a beautiful house in a wonderful town. It was a romantic getaway with lots of privacy but yet near the town and Orlando. We could not have chosen a more perfect place. I recommend this place for any occasion, it beats any chain by a 100%. We are planing to visit many more times. We are lucky to live only 2 hours away, because it truly is a piece of heavan. Carole and Joe are fantastic Inn keepers. Oh, and breakfast is DELICIOUS and fresh.

Room Tip: O'haire room is the best, you get an amazing view especially at sunrise...WOW!!!
