About this property
The Station @ Firmstone Manor
An old service station that has been fully renovated with all the modern conveniences is located beside the historic Firmstone Manor which was built in 1873. The Station was built in the 1930's, 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. Use your Roku guest account for the 4-k streaming TVs in each of the bedrooms and family room. Dog friendly. Kickback, relax and enjoy our 16-acre property. 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.

About the host
Hosted by Brian Deacon
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.
