1810 Emerson House
Wisconsin’s Gateway Bed and Breakfast
Located in an elegant residential neighborhood just east of Beloit College, guests will delight in staying at the historic 1810 Emerson House Bed & 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 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.
Well-Appointed Suites and Posh Amenities
Each suite has its own private bath outfitted with a luxurious collection of toiletries scented with the soothing powers of fresh flowers, herbs and fruits.
1810 Emerson House Bed & Breakfast caters to its discriminating guests with a mix of time-honored and contemporary amenities.

And each room has a dual USB wall outlet for ease of charging all your electronic devices.

- February 2026My husband and I just spent a wonderful weekend getaway at the Emerson House. The innkeepers, Beth and Tony, could not be more gracious. The food was the most delicious we have had at a B&B and its presentation was beautiful. Such a charming place to stay! Already planning a return.
- January 2026We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and visiting with you both. We came for a relaxing weekend getaway and your inn delivered exactly what we were looking for.

Thank you for sharing your gift of hospitality with us.
