10/10

Our stay at The Firehouse Inn was amazing. From start to finish we had an incredible stay. The staff with Mary the Inn keeper and Donna our chef for breakfast they were amazing. The building is an amazing period building and will be 100 years old later this year and it have every bit of the charm that a building like this should have. The rooms were very spacious and very comfortable. Endless supply of towels if needed and just all round super hospitality. This was my wife's first time visiting Rutherfordton in NC and she absolutely love it and is looking forward to coming back already. If you are ever feed yourself in North Carolina make sure you put this beautiful Inn on your list of places to visit you will not be disappointed, in fact the only disappointment will be having to leave. There are some amazing things to do in the area, like visiting Biltmore Mansion, wine tasting at Mountain Brook Vineyard, and so much more. Thank you guys for an amazing stay and look forward to seeing you all soon.

The Firehouse Inn is a beautiful historic property that was originally a firehouse. It has a large gathering space where we enjoyed a delicious breakfast prepared by Donna. The Inn was beautifully decorated for Christmas and we enjoyed our visit there very much! We would highly recommend a stay here while visiting the area.

Amazing facility with adorable rooms and living room/dining room. The courtyard is a great place to relax or do yoga. Donna provided fantastic breakfast and conversation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. She even packed breakfast sandwiches for our early morning departure the last day. We will be back.

Way better than our other option. Old but well kept. Suite #1 is the bomb. Donna is a great chef and you get a gourmet breakfast. The Dining / Living Area is fabulous.
2-night trip

10/10

Host and chef were both amazing folks and made everyone most welcome. The room/atmosphere were amazing and were very much Hallmark-ish. Will be a return trip for my wife and I: the creaking old stairs, the made breakfast(s) every morning (sad we only got one, but due to our stay and early morning, missed the other 2), and wow---definitely a great trip. Highly recommend!
3-night trip

10/10

We were met by the innkeeper (Mary) upon arrival and given a brief tour. She could not have been more welcoming, and was very responsive to any of our needs or inquiries during our stay. The Inn was very clean and beautifully decorated for Christmas! Donna took great pride in preparing the food and joyfully served each guest with a delicious, beautifully plated breakfast. I would definitely stay here again!
3-night trip

10/10

So fun staying in a renovated fire house and police department! It's a beautiful setting with a delightful outdoor patio with fountains and a dramatic common space. The staff couldn't be more welcoming or accommodating. We enjoyed lavish hot breakfasts and insights into the community. Highly recommended!
5-night trip

10/10

Donna was really sweet and accommodating. She made my grand babies cookies. We stayed for a horse show at Tryon. We will be back next year! The room was comfortable and there are lots of places to get food.
4-night trip

10/10

Such a neat place to say! Enjoyed seeing the features still visible from the days when it was City Hall and a fire station. We stayed in Suite 6 and it was huge! Could have easily fit 6 or more in there. The best part was the breakfast - each morning was different and so much food! Donna was an excellent chef and host, and she made our day start amazing each morning. Highly recommend!
