‟
Charming inn, tastefully decorated with an excellent breakfast. We stayed for two nights in a room with extra twin beds in a loft, which our son loved. Comfortable beds. Breakfast was excellent both days and Ms. Donna was so friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay again.
Charming inn & excellent breakfast. Nicole10, Trip Advisor

We will be back. Room was spotless and very, very well appointed. The food was amazing. The outdoor patio was so peaceful. For me, the best part is how much the owners have done to ensure they are observing COVID restrictions. This may be the only place I stay in the Lake Lure area! It was truly wonderful.
Amazing place to stay that thoroughly observes COVID restrictions. zahntoria, Trip Advisor

I was in Forest City on business for two weeks. I needed to bring my two dogs and the Firehouse is pet friendly! The rate was very reasonable. The rooms are lovely, the breakfast is sensational. Donna will feed you very well. You will not need lunch. The living and dining area is very inviting. I am staying two weeks in July and this place is now my home away from home! Top notch management and staff. They cater to every need! I WILL BE BACK! BTW the courtyard in the back is a lovely place to hang out and relax. Dean Dresser
