About this property
1930s Cape Cod Bungalow at Firmstone Manor
A beautifully renovated one-bedroom bungalow on the historic Firmstone Manor estate, originally part of the 1930s-era Lucy Selena motel that once welcomed travelers along this stretch of road. Today it offers all the modern conveniences while keeping its mid-century character — a quiet, intimate retreat ideal for couples or solo travelers looking to slow down.
Inside, the single-level cottage features one bedroom with a king-size bed, a bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower, and a charming open-concept great room with comfortable seating, a 4K streaming TV, and a high-top dining table for two. 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 Wi-Fi keep things comfortable year-round, and 4K streaming TVs in both the great room and bedroom work with your Roku guest account.
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. 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.
Please note: this cottage accommodates 2 guests maximum and is not pet-friendly.
