A 1930s roadside service station, renovated into a two-bedroom cottage for four.
Check availabilityThis fully renovated two-story cottage now offers all the modern conveniences while keeping a touch of its early American road-trip character. Set beside the historic 1873 Firmstone Manor on 13 acres of rolling Alleghany County countryside, The Station is a comfortable, private retreat with mountain views, quiet grounds to wander, and easy access to everything that makes this corner of Virginia special.
Inside, the cottage spans two levels with two bedrooms (one king, one queen), a bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower, and a spacious family room with a dining table. The full kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and Keurig coffee maker — so your first cup is ready before the rest of the world wakes up. Central A/C, heat, and high-speed secure internet keep things comfortable year-round, and 4K streaming TVs in each bedroom and the family room work with your Roku guest account. We also welcome one well-behaved dog with a small additional fee — bring the whole family along.
Our location is something special: we sit almost exactly halfway between Clifton Forge, Lexington, and Bath County, which means you can base yourself somewhere peaceful and be at a vineyard, a national forest trailhead, or the historic Warm Springs Pools in under 30 minutes. Firmstone Manor itself, one of the largest surviving Victorian homes in Alleghany County, sits on the property as part of an ongoing restoration of the estate.

Nice stay and great hosts. Would come back.
The place was spotless, bright, and homey. I felt right at home. I’d definitely stay here again!
Michael's apartment was a very welcome escape from the crowded city. It is remote in the best way possible -- close to the interstate and an easy drive but quiet and peaceful with nice amenities that made it easy to just stay put (great wifi, full kitchen, a/c, etc). The location is 15 minutes away from great hiking at the state park and a little farther to explore the cute towns along Interstate 81. It was very welcoming for our dog, who appreciated the peace and quiet and enjoyed all the sniffs on the large property. The apartment would be great for one or two couples or a family with small kiddos. Highly recommended!
