The Emig Mansion

Exceptional hosts in an historic...

Liked: So many positives! The host family is lovely and helpful, and Lori created masterful breakfasts. The interior is stunning with period architecture and gorgeous stained glass panels. The room was cozy, just enough room for 2. Drawbacks included Booking.com promising included breakfasts as Genius+ (which was a lie), but the meals were worth the extra amount. The exterior needs sprucing up, though we were assured the constant rain since the beginning of May has delayed the exterior upkeep. A very pleasant stay, and we would stay at Emig Mansion again!

Stunning historic house with fabulous...

Liked: Fantastic breakfast, lovely welcoming host and charming property
Disliked: Bed a little uncomfortable (we rolled to the middle!) and room lacked natural light due to very small windows (also part of its historic charm - so a difficult one!)

Superb

Liked: breakfast was wonderful I have never had avocado toast before and never planned on it, but i would have it again if it was made by you.
Disliked: i was satisfied with the stay. forgot to mention the sink in the 3rd floor room leaks when you turn the faucet on.

Good to experience the old...

Liked: Clean, fantastic host and fantastic breakfast.
Disliked: Room could have been cleaner. Had to change the sheets as they were badly pilled. Needed a heck of a good vacuum. I was cold in the bed.

A Pennsylvania mansion starting up...

Liked: This is a mansion with wonderful beauty on the ground floor. The room we stayed in was nice. We prefered an en suite toilet and shower rather than the one we booked where the private bath was one level up from the room. The original room was wonderfully decorated. The host offered us either room. The shower and water flow were good. Internet connectivity was outstanding. Relaxing on the main floor with an elegant dining room, a sitting room and a large family room were a transport back in time. The sun shining through the windows was gorgeous. Communication with the innkeepers was outstanding. They were easy to reach and responded quickly. They cooked up a nice home breakfast.There is a lot of potential here that the inn may reach at some point.
Disliked: There is an audible leak from one of the 2nd floor showers into the wall on the ground floor leading to a bit of mustiness and might be a big project to repair. Google leads one to the front of the home on the main street where there is no entrance. The back entrance lacks some of the elegance of the interior.It was a bit difficult to heat the room with the portable electric heater, both to find a place to plug it in and use it and it kept switching off after 15 minutes or so, so difficult to use at night. We did get an extra blanket the next night and it was pleasant.

B&B with only one B?

Liked: This a beautiful old mansion. The indoor areas are well-kept. Rooms are pretty and the owner seems nice. Kids were welcome to this place.
Disliked: The outdoor areas are in need of update. When we got there, we were immediately told that the breakfast boxes are in the fridge. As I tried to ask about it, I got two different answers: They don’t serve hot breakfast at all or that the owner couldn’t serve it because she had doctor’s appointment. Not sure which one was true. The boxes were far from breakfast we were expecting. So if you are a breakfast person like us, might check the breakfast status beforehand! The rooms have no locks and they get easily chilly. Only one room had a heater. It seems that the owners had other things on their mind than hosting guests as they told they are moving abroad.

We started our new year...

Liked: Our host was very personable, she made us feel at home. The property had plenty of parking. The room was very comfortable and we slept well. The house was a great combination of history and comfort. I like the fact that someone is restoring those great pieces of architecture.

Exceptional

Disappointing

Liked: Location.
Disliked: A dog was loose within the house and barking when we arrived. Throughout the hall and stairway, there was a pervading smell of dog.The mattress was covered with a plastic protector which afforded an uncomfortable night.Prior to arriving, we were notified that staff would not be available to greet us or to provide breakfast (for personal reasons). We were offered a $25 refund in lieu of breakfast which has not been refunded so far, despite us reminding the owner via Booking.com.
