There is nothing quite like the slow, easy pace of a small-town Saturday. 🕰️✨

When you stay at The Firehouse Inn, the heart of historic downtown Rutherfordton is right at your doorstep. Spend your July morning strolling down our tree-lined streets, hunting for hidden treasures in our local antique shops, and grabbing a sweet treat from a nearby bakery. It’s the perfect way to spend a quiet afternoon before retreating to the inn for a glass of wine in the courtyard.

We had a great time and we appreciate everyone that came out on a week night to participate.
