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!

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!)

Fantastic breakfast, lovely welcoming host and charming property

i was satisfied with the stay. forgot to mention the sink in the 3rd floor room leaks when you turn the faucet on.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

The room was cold. Breakfast was not available as early as we needed it.

Decor is nice.

The hospitality was amazing

My booking included breakfast but a hot/fresh breakfast was not provided. Apparently the host did not know that my booking included breakfast and said we needed to specifically request breakfast at an additional cost. I think there is a communication breakdown between us, the host and booking.com, resulting in us not getting a fresh breakfast we thought we had paid for, and the host insisting the problem was our fault. The mansion exterior and grounds are very neglected. The neighborhood surrounding the mansion is part industrial area and part run-down homes. This wouldn't be so bad if the mansion grounds were better maintained.

Mansion interior is beautiful and and in fair condition

Abandoned cars around the property. Breakfast is not included in a place that calls itself bed and breakfast. They want $15 per person extra, which is ridiculous. There was some black hair all over the bathroom which I've experienced in every hotel. I go to all my life. No matter what the price. The porch was cluttered. Mosquitoes all over the place because of standing water. The parking area needed a trim because of poison ivy. Room was nice, but in the attic, so the ceiling was slanted.So, you bump your head. They claimed to be almost all booked, but there was hardly anyone there and no one had breakfast to my knowledge.So it's not a lot of value for your money.There's other places, we only picked this place because it was three miles from the wedding venue.

The mansion itself was nice. The grounds were nice

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.

Clean, fantastic host and fantastic breakfast.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Location.

It took me a minute to locate the driveway.

The home was beautiful, so full of history and detail. I arrived after dark and left early the next morning, I will go back as I want to stay in the different rooms. The breakfast was so unexpectedly delicious and the caretaker was the best.

Nothing was disliked.

What an awesome mansion. Owner upgraded us to the Master Suite. Our last name is Emig so the room was called the Emig Room. Room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. Breakfast was awesome. Owner very delightful and had an hour and a half conversation on history and military history.

The mattress was uncomfortable for two adults ( we are not big people) and we met in the middle. Smoke alarm was beeping all night.

We just stayed for a stopover en route to a wedding. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, and the room was clean and well stocked with towels, extra blanket, nice soaps etc.

Nothing.

The mansion is beautiful with period furniture and a lot of history dating back as far as 1810. Our host, Lori, makes a great breakfast and had great stories to tell about the Emig family and the mansion. We appreciated to homemade blueberry scones in the afternoon.

poor location, unkept grounds, bushes almost blocking the entrance. Breakfast consisted of packets for each day left in the in-room mini fridge. The packets contained cheese, apple juice (both okay) plus stale dated yoghurt and some dry biscuits.

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.

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.

The owner is a gem. She cooks a wonderful breakfast and will sit and share the history of her home and the area.

Room was musty and moldy smelling - both my husband and I began coughing almost immediately after stepping into the room. Everything is extremely dated, and there are large signs of water leaks etc. Additionally, there were dogs on the property staying in other rooms - other guests were up in the middle of the night with the dogs, and yelling in the hallways. Impossible to sleep. I've also never stayed at a Bed & Breakfast - where there was no breakfast. The sign in the room said breakfast is at 8am, we were up, ready and nothing. For the price paid, we certainly could have gotten a hot meal. Instead, we had to drive into downtown York and wait for breakfast there.

Room was spacious and well appointed. We had enough room for our things and the private bathroom was nice.

Wonderful little gem for a getaway. Very clean, quiet, at home feel. Recommend highly!

Only thing I would suggest was a couple more wash cloths 😁

Lori upgraded us since we had our son with us, which was so nice! It was really nice for my husband and I to be able to sleep in a king bed! The shower was also really nice and clean!
