1873 Kitchen House at Firmstone Manor

Not suitable for children under 10. Tucked beside the historic 1873 Firmstone Manor, this newly renovated cottage was the estate's original kitchen house — now reimagined with every modern convenience while keeping its 19th-century character intact. Step outside and 13 acres of rolling Alleghany County countryside are yours to explore, with mountain views from the property and quiet spots to read, sip your morning coffee, or watch the sun set behind the ridgeline. Inside, the single-level cottage offers 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 internet keep things comfortable year-round, and 4K streaming TVs in each bedroom and the family room work with your Roku guest account. 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 and is currently being restored alongside the other cottages on the estate.
