The Emig Mansion0

Emig Mansion is absolutely beautiful. I stayed in Room #7 Sarah's Retreat. It was cozy, and I had my own bathroom. It was very quiet, probably because an older home like this has thick walls. I slept well. The wifi access was excellent. I paid the $15 for the breakfast at 8:00 am. Lori, the proprietor, served the breakfast on time. It was a lot of food, and it was delicious. She asks about food restrictions and preferences beforehand, so I was confident I could eat everything that was served. I ate breakfast at 8:00 am, and I wasn't hungry until about 3:00 pm. This was perfect since I was spending the day researching at York County History Center. Also, Lori was extremely friendly and hospitable. I loved talking to her, and her son was friendly too. They made me feel like a member of their family, which is a plus for people who are traveling alone.

Lori warned me that my room might be a little cold. A fan was left on to take out some of the humidity. I was a bit a cold, but I was too lazy to get up and turn off the fan. So, that was a "me" problem.

The box breakfast was good (yogurt, croissant, juice, jam, hard-boiled eggs, etc.), but that's not what I expect from a B&B--knew what it was when I booked, though. Lovely room. Very comfy bed. Nice to have a coffee machine in the dining room and always available. Nice snacks. No plastic--we travel a lot and are appalled at the plastic left behind, in spite of our best efforts. Interesting house and grounds, though it looked haunted when we arrived in early evening!

I had to email a couple of times to clarify since it was self-check-in and a bit confusing. It wasn't clear where to park when we got there, and we had to move the car. No big deal, but a sign would have been welcome. No one there to welcome us, but we knew that ahead of time, too. Only time we saw the owner was when we were asked to move the car. Would have been interesting to know the history of the house. No cups in the room. I went down and got coffee cups from the dining room. I appreciate the lack of plastic, though. Salt for the eggs would have been nice, and I would have loved a toaster oven for the croissant. The microwave just doesn't do it for me!

I liked the very friendly but not overbearing hostess/innkeeper who offered suggestions and advice on all we asked of her but was not forward in any way. The inn and property were truly beautiful and we could have taken advantage of the beautiful spacious common rooms more than we did.

Innkeeper asked if we like “dogs” then let out a behemoth of a Sheppard. Luckily we had zero fear of dogs or this may have been a problem. Also, booking . Com said breakfast was included but it was not. I did not check but I am 99% sure this was an error on booking’s part. They do that

Everything was exceptional from meeting Lori, Cora (her German shepherd) and Aiden, sharing stories learning the history, breakfast, Lori's recommendations. We honestly can't wait to come back. It's like we reconnected with an old friend. The house is calm and peaceful. The interior design was wonderful. The shower was incredible. Honestly I could go on and on. Definitely stop by you'll love it. And remember the house is old there is no elevator!!!

I liked everything!! There are NO complaints.

Lori is amazing!!! she kept us fully informed before our arrival, welcomed us with a beautiful smile , prepared a wonderful homemade breakfast which was waiting for us in the dining room when we woke. The food she prepared was delicious and so beautifully presented. We had an amazing conversation at breakfast with Lori, and though we were late getting to our event, it was only because she was so engaging and the conversation was beautifully flowing and happy. My sister said it was the best trip she has ever been on, and we only stayed one night, wished for more. The house is gorgeous, beautifully decorated and the grounds are lovely! We can't wait to go back!! EVERYONE SHOULD STAY HERE!!!

I didn't like that we had to leave

I love how updated the room's amenities (bathroom, sink area) were without losing any historic charm. Everything was furnished, decorated, upgraded, and cleaned impeccably. I also liked being able to text the staff to communicate.

I only wish there were a way to add a tip for the housekeeper to the existing credit card that was billed. We didn't have much cash on us. I also wish breakfast had been maybe even an hour later (it's at 8am) and that it had been more clear whether it would cost extra or if it was already part of the bill. Regardless, we probably wouldn't have been comfortable eating indoors unless we were alone because of the pandemic, but next time, I would like to enjoy the full B&B experience.

Dude! It's a frickin mansion! We arrived after dark and didn't really see the outside until the next morning. Lori was incredibly gracious and even stayed up past her bedtime to accommodate our late arrival! The history of the place hits you smack in the face as you enter the home! The parlor is amazing. I wish we had been able to arrive in time for tea! The bedroom we stayed in was immaculate and charming. We didn't get to see room #1, but room#2 was more than adequate. Breakfast at the huge table in the formal dining room was like something out of a Hollywood movie! Each table setting was picture worthy. The meal was delicious and the coffee flowed, well, like coffee! We made a new friend in Lori and look forward to visiting with her again!

We didn't like having to leave. Personally, I could have stayed there forever. Just toddling around with my smoking jacket and bunny slippers on, admiring myself in the mirrors.

Breakfast was good, except bacon was under cooked, rice pudding was not fresh, no fresh fruit, no decaf coffee and only one choice of decaf tea. Liked the 8:00 serving. Easy to find the house. Nice parking. Tricky stairs from parking to the house. Our room was cold. Had to use extra blankets. Nice and quiet. Very clean. No glasses in room. Did not appreciate paying extra for a one night stay, especially with several rooms open. That extra charge wasn’t disclosed until after the reservation was made. Enjoyed our evening, but will evaluate the cost more thoroughly next time.

an interesting victorian mansion... a fun change from our own home which is very modern The host , Lori , was very friendly and helpful with suggested restaurants

entrance difficult to find right on a fairly busy road. could have a clearer signboard and also a light at night at the entrance to the driveway. Location not within walking distance of shops, restaurants etc.

Our hostess Lori blended seamlessly the character and charm of the historic mansion with her own personality and creativity to make a wonderful stay for my wife and me. I highly recommend the Emig Mansion for anyone who like to try something off the beaten path. Breakfast was very good as well.

Do to the fact that the mansion is secluded behind trees and is a historical site, the sign at the end of the driveway is rather small and easy to miss. If you go past it, you can go around the block to the back entrance. It's much easier to spot from there.
