Many times the places we stay when we are out of town are hotels and motels of convenience, all we want is a soft bed and hot shower. There are some spots that are much more than just a place to lay your head at night, they are destinations themselves. Steeped in history and luxury is a charming fire station inn tucked away in Vermont and you’re going to love all that it has to offer.
The Firehouse Inn was built in 1904 and was an operating fire station until 2007. The Victorian style firehouse was completely renovated and restored becoming a charming inn and restaurant in downtown Barre.
