    Incredible history, attractive decor, extremely welcoming staff! The staff were so kind and willing to go over and beyond to make us comfortable, in a time when I was using crutches. Would love to return someday. Many items from the original firehouse are preserved, giving a feel of intrigue.

    Outstanding decor, great southern hospitality, first class ambiance and a great breakfast. No doubt, the best accommodations in the Tri-city and surrounding areas. Highly recommend this establishment and plan to stay here in the future. Great atmosphere and value for the price. Lynn Flack

    The interiors are both sumptuous and efficiently functional; an esthetic pleasure is conveyed by the inner architecture and remarkable furnishings, all well-attuned to the theme of a specific west-North Carolina locale and its historical roots. If an atmosphere of antique wonder is on your agenda, this is for you. And at the same time, the highest level of comfort.

    My sister and I truly enjoyed our stay at the Inn during the recent long Thanksgiving weekend. Sandy provided impeccable service and was most pleasant and attentive to every detail of our stay. We greatly enjoyed our conversations with her and appreciated the tour of the Inn and also her vast knowledge of the building's history. Sandy is a wonderful person with a warm, welcoming manner and true Southern charm. She is a genuine asset to this Inn. Also, all the rooms are beautifully decorated with attractive, comfortable furniture. It was a treat staying in such an historical building with all the comforts of home, plus the added beauty and attributes of the lovely living room and dining room. My sister had a wonderful suggestion -- to have soft chamber or orchestral music (recorded, not live, of course) playing quietly in the background while guests are enjoying breadfast. We look forward to return visits to this Inn. (Welch Family/Atlanta, GA)
