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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.
