The Firehouse Inn

We had a luxurious stay at The Firehouse Inn. My mom wanted to come up and see the fall leaves and we chose this inn due to it having a ground floor room available. The only caveat was that Mom still had to climb the stairs to access the main common area and breakfast room, but she did so just fine taking her time and holding the rail. Room 6 on the ground floor with its own entry door is a veritable apar**ent! We spread out in 600 sq feet of living space and could have slept 4 more people in our room [two queen beds and two single beds]. We had a table and chairs, a living area with a TV, a giant closet, dressing area, and a fridge and microwave. I cannot say enough about Donna and the breakfasts. She is a delight who not only cooks gourmet breakfasts, she tells you all about the inn and the recipes and is so kind and personable. Each morning, breakfast was delicious and hearty and kept us full until supper time. The inn is decorated in tasteful furnishings, lighting, and wall coverings. The linens are comfy and high end. There is a lovely patio with tables and strings of lights where we sat one evening to have a glass of wine. The common area has a large fireplace with gas logs, access to ice, wine glasses, snacks, and water. We will be back!

We had a fantastic stay here. Bed was comfortable, room was very spacious and clean. Mary was so helpful and we had a delicious breakfast with great service as well. Furthermore, we very much enjoyed our upgrade to a suite! We would highly recommend this B & B.

My husband and I needed a getaway and booked a night at the inn. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The pancakes with fresh fruit and breakfast bowl were delicious. Mary , the Innkeeper and Donna, the breakfast chef were extremely friendly and accommodating. It was a great experience.

It has been a home away from home for us for years. Great place to go and visit local wineries or a trip to the Bil**ore.

The Firehouse Inn is absolutely gorgeous and Kitty has paid attention to the details. We rented the entire inn for the weekend for grandparents, other family members, and groomsmen for a wedding in Forest City. We had the best time gathering together for breakfast at the 9 person round table sharing about the evening before and having a welcoming place to rest throughout the day. Donna made 2 fabulous breakfasts making sure everyone’s needs and wishes were met. We stayed in room 1. The bed was super comfortable and it was the perfect room to get ready for the parents of groom with an extra large closet and full length mirror. The location is great to walk shops, restaurants and hair salon(if needed for wedding). Staying at the inn made our wedding weekend even more memorable!

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 Chris**as! 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!

From the minute we walked in and met Mary the Inn keeper then we saw the room with the fireplace huge Jacuzzi tub. The next morning woke up and chef Donna was preparing our breakfast, then sitting down with other guests for great conversation and the last day we had million dollar bacon….fantastic. The biggest room I’ve ever stayed in the place is an absolute 10!! I would stay again.

Host and chef were both amazing folks and made everyone most welcome. The room/a**osphere 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!

We spent 3 delightful days at the Inn in Room #1 in late November 2023. The space in this suite is amazing, the bed was comfy, and the bathroom was super. Mary the Innkeeper greeted us enthusiastically, welcoming us into her Inn, and conducted a personal tour of the place. (The Chris**as decorations were outstanding!) Donna (our awesome cook) treated us very well, had the coffee ready by 6:30 am, and was always ready to accommodate our wishes. She is also a wealth of historical information. Be sure to check out the courtyard. This is a place we will visit again, and we have added it to our Special Hotels list. Our only regret is that we didn't have time to use the fireplace or the soaking Jacuzzi tub! Sincere thanks to Mary and Donna for a memorable experience.
