The Alling House

Welcome to the Alling House, a Bed and Breakfast with three rooms and five cottages, owned and operated by Gerald and Nan Hill.

For over 40 years this was the home of E.B. Alling, a well-known mayor of Orange City during its formative years. Learn how Orange City was founded as part of the expansion of modern civilization into florida along a prominent transportation route provided by the St. John's River.

You will find the house has been well preserved over the years. Many visitors agree that the Heart of Pine wood floors are one of its most beautiful characteristics. The house is decorated in a comfortable Victorian style that reflects its heritage. Nan has designed each room in a way that provides a uniquely refreshing experience, encourages stress to melt away and causes guests to forget about the cares of a busy routine.

For those who want to get out and be active, we are located near several places of interest. The Alling House is three miles from the St. John's River and Blue Spring State Park, where you can kayak or canoe and view the manatees that come into the park during the cooler months. There is plenty of opportunity for fishing and boating on the St. John's River. We are 30 minutes away from the New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach areas. Many people drive 5 miles north and enjoy strolling down main street Deland, with its historic atmosphere, antique shops and restaurants. Others come from around the world for more exciting pursuits, such as skydiving at Deland's airport. We are in the Orlando area and just a short trip from all of the well-known tourist parks. There is always something going on in the area. Whether it be a festival, fair, NASCAR race, Bike Week, or antique auction, we are close by.
