An old service station that has been fully renovated with all the modern conveniences is located beside the historic Firmstone Manor built in 1873. The Station was built in the 1930s, it has central A/C, heat, and high-speed secure internet, and has two levels, two bedrooms, one with a king-size bed, another with a queen-size bed, a bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower, a full kitchen with refrigerator, range, and dishwasher. The Station also features a spacious family room with a dining table. You can use your Roku guest account for the 4-k streaming TVs in each of the bedrooms and family room. Kickback, relax and enjoy our 16-acre property. One dog permitted with extra fee. The area around us is ideal for wineries, breweries, hiking, biking, and fishing. Firmstone Manor, a Victorian home built in 1873 by Harry Firmstone, also sits on the property and is one of the largest surviving homes in Alleghany County. We are in the process of restoring Firmstone Manor and the rest of the cottages on the property.
Great attention to detail. Hosts left extra surprises (including fresh flowers!!!) and provided everything we would need for our stay. The flat was clean, private/quiet, and communication and checking in and out were a breeze. Would definitely stay here again! 10/10!
The Station was a great fit for our small family. We loved the fun and cheerful decor, and our kids REALLY loved the local grape juice that Brian provided as a welcome treat. The house manual made it easy for us to connect to the WiFi and understand how to use the mini-splits. The beds were comfortable, as was the living room furniture. I needed a couple of kitchen items and Brian responded right away.We hope to stay here again next time we're in the area!
We arrived at The Station at Firmstone Manor tired and in the middle of a cross-country move. It was pouring outside and we were exhausted. To say that this perfect, cozy and pristine spot was a little piece of paradise would be an understatement. The Station is beautiful, clean and comfortable. They have thought of everything! Thank you for the extra special touches, from the fresh flowers to the craft beer and yummy, homemade cookies. We'll be back.
We only stayed for one night but man do i wish we couldâve stayed longer!! Its was so beautiful and just put together so well. The home was so clean and the attention to details were beyond us! The little additions that were left for us were the cherry on top! I could NEVER recommend staying here enough!
Awesome. Clean. Lager and Sourdough Bread and Cookies and Roses ! A bit off of the beaten path. If you want a place in the area to disconnect and enjoy, Highly recommended
The room has been decorated fabulously (thanks Michael!). All of the extra touches really made us feel welcome. Fresh blueberry muffins and fresh flowers were a great touch. And dog friendly! We will definitely be back!
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the place. Itâs very comfortable and accessible, with spot-on decor. Weâve been traveling for the holidays and out of all the places weâve stayed, this one was our favorite. Weâll definitely be back.
This was probably one, if not the cleanest VRBO we have ever been in. The attention to detail was remarkable. Communication was stellar and we certainly enjoyed our stay. Can't wait to be back in the area and stay here again. Thanks for everything.
Firmstone Manor was purchased by Brian Deacon and Michael Carland in the fall of 2018. The property was in extremely bad shape. The property was overgrown with vines and brush that covered all of the buildings and the roofs on all the cottages, carriage house, kitchen house, and main manor were leaking.
Brian and Michael have been painstakingly restoring the main manor, which is over 10,000 sq/ft, and in 2022 started the renovation on the cottages which will be used as vacation rentals for guests visiting Clifton Forge, Lexington, and the surrounding area. When completed there will be 9 different vacation rental cottages.
The Inn at Firmstone Manor is the perfect retreat for those seeking peace and tranquility. Surrounded by lush gardens and mature trees, the property offers a secluded and serene setting.
