I stumbled on this as an alternative to a cookie-cutter hotel when my wife and I were going to spend a day at Blue Springs State Park. You could literally walk to Blue Springs from Alling House (our morning jog took us past it). Gerald and Nan are a warm and gracious couple; you feel like a house guest rather... More

The Alling House Bed and Breakfast is one of the best B & B's we have ever visited. Nan and Gerald are so accommodating and made sure all our request and questions were answered immediately. We used the kayak to paddle to Blue Springs and enjoyed the peace on the river, the school of 6 manatees we passed and the... More

We recently spent 3 nights in the Homestead Cottage while visiting some friends who were camping at Blue Springs. It was a most pleasant stay, very clean, plenty of room, well-equipped kitchen, & very personable hosts. We will definitely return if we get back to Orange City again. Didn't get to try one of Nan's breakfasts but hopefully next time.

Alling House is the one of the best B&Bs I have ever stayed at. I was especially taken with the amenities not always found in B&Bs. I had a TV, wireless Internet and a desktop computer in the common area for my use, a full bath with a wide tiled shower stall and a refrigerator stocked with sodas and ice... More

This is our third visit to Alling House and it just keeps getting better! Nan and Gerald own and operate this traditional Bed and Breakfast with additional, non-traditional cabins! Each cabin has a fully equipped kitchen, private bathroom and bedroom. Some even have a second bedroom. Each are differently themed: Frontier, Nature, Railroad, Victorian, etc. Magazines, videoes, books, games, televison,... More

Stayed two nights in the Nature Cabin (husband and teen son). Loved the privacy and all of the amenities. The Alling House is just 5 minutes from Blue Springs State Park, an incredibly place to spend a day. We left early one morning, and made it to Orlando when the parks opened. Great location, great place.

Alling House B&B provided a fabulous get-away for our 10yr Anniversary. Between Gerald and Nan's friendly, inviting conversations, delectable breakfast, ready assistance with kayaks, bikes and local information, thoughtful decoration and preparation of the Nature Cottage and uncommon knack for providing an open space we had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. We highly recommend taking advantage of this remarkable B&B and... More

We were just fortunate enough to stay with Gerald & Nan again at Alling House in Deland, Fla. This time we enjoyed staying in the Rose Room & it was fantastic, of course! Nan's special lovely touches were evident (chocolates next to the bed, toothbrushes & bubble bath & other commonly forgot-to-bring-from-home items in the bathroom, tissues on the bedside... More

We stayed in the Frontier Cottage and it was absolutely perfect! They thought of everything, down to milk/OJ in fridge, extra toothbrushes and razors in the bathroom, bubble bath, DVDs to watch, books to read, CDs to listen to, porch swing. There was even a computer with internet access in the cottage. The list goes on! I also must say,... More
