Wonderful place to stay!
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.

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.
Diana, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Dee, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Girls trip!
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!

Business Stay
My stay at the Firehouse Inn was amazing. This beautiful old building is stunning and the staff were amazing. They really couldn't do enough for you. The rooms are very spacious, clean and tidy with plenty of towels and toiletries. The breakfast was amazing prepared by the lovely Donna and Mary the Inn keeper was also amazing. I have been coming here for over 6/7 years on and off with business but the new owners have definitely gone about improving the little things to bring the building up a notch in standard. I noticed that all the wooden floors have been beautifully sanded and polished and look amazing. This beautiful Inn is in a fabulous location ideal for company retreats where you can rent out the whole Inn and it has a new event space where you can set up seating for over a hundred people. Well worth checking out. I will keep going back anyway.

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!

We will be back!
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.
