Wonderful Visit at the Firehouse Inn

We had a wonderful stay at the Firehouse Inn. The staff made the stay great, and the breakfast was amazing. The building and room were beautiful. If we ever are in the area again, we will stay at the Firehouse Inn.

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!

Neat place with awesome breakfast!

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!

Donna served a fantastic morning breakfast meal. She was friendly and informative. Room was big and very comfortable. Enjoyed the jacuzzi and nice shower. Our room (Suite #1) was previously a police station over a fire department. Loaded with memorabilia and stories. Kitty was a very gracious host. Will return again.

A unique and very comfortable place to stay in Rutherfordton, NC during IEA National Jumper Championship. Super convenient on-street parking and very comfortable beds. Very close to the Tryon International Equestrian Center. The old updated municipal center made for a very interesting Inn and a nice tour by Mary, the Inn Keeper. She is very friendly, accommodating and always looking for a way to make your stay even better. Donna, the chef, prepared a delicious breakfast and told us more about the Inn's history. The Inn is working to add more event spaces. We hope to see how it all turns out on our next visit.

Business and Pleasure.

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.

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.

We stopped here on our way to our final destination. We had no idea what to expect of the area and hotel before we arrived. The hotel has been restored and the rooms decorated to an extremely high standard. The only negative was the ladders (firemans) to the mezzanine were incredibly steep and we were a little concerned by the potential for our kids to fall in the night The breakfast menu was suggested and cooked for us and was delicious. The surrounding area was quiet but on the whole well maintained with some beautiful historic buildings and independent stores. Our stay here was a great start to our holiday as it is a beautiful hotel and we would stay ahain.
