This 1885 Queen Anne Victorian home was the winter get-away for wealthy businessman, Cyrus B. Thurston of Minneapolis and has been restored back to its original splendor. Thurston House has the charm of beautifully restored woodwork, original hardwood floors, six beautiful mantles and wonderful wood paneling. It is decorated in a period style using antiques and reproductions. Stroll the beautiful grounds with over an acre of fruit trees, flowering bushes, herb garden and flower gardens. Find the small hide-away areas complete with benches throughout the yard, or be active by playing croquet, fishing from the banks of Lake Eulalia, or strolling through the camillia bushes. Sip wine in the swing in a cozy corner of the wrap-around porch, or mingle with the other guests in one of the many comfortable chairs, or rock peacefully in the hammock on the sleeping porch. Watching the birds frolicking among the bushes is another favorite activity here at Thurston House. Nearby you will find antique stores, shops, many fine restaurants and museums. Curl up in one of the three cozy guest rooms, each named after a former family. Thurston House offers three guest rooms, all with queen sized beds and private bath. Awaken to the aroma of fresh brewed coffee set out early in the dining room. A full breakfast is always offered, and will be served by candlelight at your individual table. There are also guest common areas - a front parlour to relax in, a back parlour to watch television and work on a puzzle, and a wonderful wrap-around porch.
