The place is beautiful. I’ve only stayed there for one night on a work trip, but I got to enjoy the outdoors with a coffee in the afternoon, an amazing home cooked breakfast and a lovely chat with the owner. The room was exactly as pictured, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was so cute! It’s a real bed and breakfast, you feel home and welcomed. A unique property that’s worth a stay!

This historic 1850 mansion was a chance to step back in time, but with modern conveniences such surreptitiously tucked in. The breakfasts were so sumptuous and hearty that we did not need to eat again until late in the afternoon. We were served on dinnerware that made me feel I was playing a role in Downton Abbey (but American style!). The host Lori had all sorts of interesting local lore and history to add and made the breakfast that much more enjoyable. Recommend this highly!

Wonderful house
Loved it. Beautiful house and very well kept. The food was great. Laura, the owner, is super friendly and looks out for her guests. We had an amazing time. Our room specifically had pros and cons. Pros: top floor so no one walking on your head. Private shower/bathroom. Fridge and microwave. Snacks and other useful items provided. Very comfortable and adorable. Cons: Because it's the top floor, they were small windows at floor level (still let in a lot of light). Small shower which was fine for us but might be tough for some. I'd stay her again for sure!

Response from Lori Ann on 22 Jul 2022
Thank you for the very accurate description of the third floor rooms! It's hard to sometimes convey the quirky nature of a historic home, but you do so beautifully. We made the very best use of the upper level by the additional rooms, but they do indeed come with challenges in space. We try to make up for it in the experience for our guests. Thank you for the kind words. They mean so very much to a small business like ours!

No way to lock room door when leaving mansion and no secure place to leave valuables. No bedroom smoke detector nor any evacuation instructions in the event of an emergency. No one to greet us at check-in and no personal contact with anyone until morning of departure. Contactless check-in email instructions were helpful but lacked precise location of room (i.e. 1st room on right) and room was not clearly marked Poorly maintained outside landscaping. WILL NOT RETURN AGAIN!!!

10+ - A Great Place to Stay
Without question, one of the best places we've ever stayed. Everything was wonderful. The room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. The mansion itself is amazing - so much to see!! Breakfast was great. Best of all, Lori was so friendly and made sure we had anything we needed. The whole experience was worthy of a 10+ rating.

Lovely mansion, outside a work in progress
Lovely mansion and lovely host. If you do not like to "socialize" with the host, this is not the place for you. We enjoyed our breakfast conversations with other guests (only one other couple with us) and the host/host son. I wasn't crazy about the food served, though I am picky and like basic items. However, I do not travel to B&B for the food. The only other couple in the mansion were in the room next to ours. Conversations could be heard and when their overhead light was on, it lit up our room through the transom window above our door. I didn't feel as though I had much privacy for those reasons. The outside landscaping was being worked on when we were there (around the pond)

Response from Lori Ann on 23 Sept 2021
Thanks for the review, Christine! Apologies on the sausage and egg strata or baked apples served the morning after your stay. Breakfast at The Emig Mansion consists of menu items not associated with being home! We always ask for dietary requirements and preferences, encourage guests to be candid about their likes, and accommodate as best we can. We cannot agree with you more about the B&B experience! It is all about the company and conversations with the staff and other guests. For our part, we truly enjoy the personalities all our guests bring to breakfast and throughout their stays. Getting to know our guests, even for a short time is what makes the bed and breakfast experience unique to that of chain hotels and alternate stays. I appreciate the comments on the privacy, and it is quite the challenge to offer total privacy in a near 200-year-old home. We kindly ask guests to observe "quiet-time" after 9 PM for the quiet enjoyment of everyone's stay, and we certainly can look into alternative into addressing the light and noise pollution between rooms. Thanks for noticing the new waterfall addition to the pond. We like it, too! Thank you for your stay. If ever vacationing in the area, consider stopping by and staying with The Emig Mansion again!

You will love this place!
I saw all of the 10 ratings which influenced my choice, now that I’ve stayed there, I too must give it a 10. It’s incredibly charming and clean, with an AMAZING breakfast. The proprietor bends over backward to make everything as comfortable as possible for her guests. A truly wonderful find!! Too bad they only have 10 stars. I would have given it 20.

Romantic weekend Escape
We had a wonderful time! We took a short weekend away to celebrate our 35th Anniversary, and Lori, our host ,went above and beyond. Emig Mansion is beautiful and welcoming. We asked for suggestions of things to do and she emailed us , with ideas , prior to our arrival. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast each morning and it was very comfortable to sit in the common areas to just read or chat with Lori. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Emig mansion. We plan several visits back to enjoy this B&B in the different seasons.

The feeling is mutual! The best part of running a B&B is the ability to find common ground with the guests that come through the door. You both made my weekend so wonderfully happy and reminded me why I chose this profession! I am so grateful you were brought to our doorstep! Aidan, Ike, Kora, and I so look forward to your return ... make it real soon!

Stay in a gracious lovely old mansion
Our stay at Emig Mansion was lovely. Just out of York by a couple of miles. Upon arriving Lori showed us around the historic old mansion. It was furnished beautifully. When booking you get to chose the room you want, each is named. There are cookies and muffins as well coffee, tea, and water whenever you want a snack. You can stay down in the living room to chat or pickup a book to read in the library or play a board game. The resident cat will enjoy your attention if you want to give it. With quite a few guests in the house it was still quiet. The owners serve a fantastic breakfast starting with fruit in their beautiful appointed dining room; complete with china and crystal. Lovely grounds outside to roam around as well. Lori read a letter from the last Emig lady that lived in the house. The letter made you feel like you were there visiting at the turn of the century about their civil war days. You can't find a nicer place to stay.

Nice B&B experience. My wife and I were traveling and rather than stay at a hotel we decided to try the Emig Mansion.

Wonderful experience
This place is amazing! The mansion is almost a religious experience. My wife compares it to the “cottages” in Newport. The breakfasts were also excellent. My only caveat is that two of the rooms share a hallway bathroom which was not the best. Broken tiles in the floor, and an old fashioned tub with no hand holds which could prove very dangerous to an elderly person. Go for one of the rooms with a private bath!

Thanks so much for the nice review and we're glad you enjoyed the experience. We enjoyed having you as guest.For the record every room has it's own private bathroom and we never have a situation where two rooms are required to share the same bathroom. I understand that some people may not enjoy the antique claw foot bath tubs and some people do enjoy the vintage experience.

Exceptional B & B Hotel
The Emig Mansion is an exceptional place to stay if you're visiting the York area, less than 1 mile from exit 24 on highway 83. When you're not familiar with an area it can be challenging to find a place to stay where you feel safe and are comfortable. Think of the Emig Mansion as staying at your friend of the family's home while in the York, PA area. Lori and Bill who are the Innkeepers will make you feel as if you have known them for years. Don't pass up the opportunity to stay here if you're in the York area. regards Phil G

I chose Emig Mansion because of its' proximity to Red Stone Glen Fiber Arts School. It was the perfect choice for us.
