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.

The common areas are beautiful and very comfortable. There is also a charming courtyard to hang out in. Breakfast was very good. The Inn is walking distance to shops and restaurants. We rented the suite, which was huge!

8/10 Very good

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Highly recommend!
I thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The breakfast cooked by Ms. Donna was absolutely delicious and homemade. We had something different each day. The Inn is about an hour from Asheville but Rutherfordton has cute stores and places to eat and get coffee. The Purple Martin Greenway is just down the street and there is another similar path in Forest City nearby. The Inn was cozy and cute!

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!
