Located in an elegant residential neighborhood just east of Beloit College, guests will delight in staying at the historic 1810 Emerson House Bed and Breakfast. This lovely example of Georgian Colonial Revival architecture was built in 1930 as a wedding gift for Theodore and Rosella Woolsey. The house’s distinctive roughhewn cedar shake roof and cream-colored brick with dramatic “weeping mortar” is a neighborhood standout.
Beloit truly is the Gateway to Wisconsin, being located at I-90 and the Wisconsin – Illinois border. Both Milwaukee and Madison airports are only 1 hour away, and only 1 ½ hours from Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. Emerson House is also a short distance to Beloit College, cultural art centers and quaint downtown shops and restaurants.
Breakfast is served each morning on fine china in our formal dining area. With Beth’s extensive collection of antique china and Tony’s flair for presentation, every morning will be a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Upon initial arrival during the weekend between 3:00 – 5:00 PM, a delectable antipasto plate with an assortment of tasty appetizers will be offered along with complimentary wine or sparkling cider. And every evening desserts will be available as a final treat before you retire for the night.
