What’s the story behind the guest house?
Our historic home was built in 1930 and is situated in the Milwaukee and Emerson Residential Historic District, one of four in Beloit. This lovely example of Georgian Colonial Revival architecture was built as a wedding gift for Theodore and Rosella Woolsey.

Yes, free on-and-off-street parking is available for all guests.
Do you offer Wi-Fi?
Yes! We provide complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the guest house and on the grounds.
Are there shops and restaurants nearby?
Absolutely. Beloit is nestled between Janesville, WI and Rockford, IL, where you’ll find terrific dining, quaint shops, cultural centers and more. On the grounds, we invite our guests to check out Emerson House Vintage Finds & Favorite Things. And we’re always happy to share our favorite local spots!
Can we book the whole guest house for a group stay?
Yes! Our intimate boutique bed and breakfast includes two sizable suites and is a wonderful setting for small family and couple’s getaways. Booking the full property ensures privacy and the feeling of having your own home away from home. We allow a maximum of three guests per suite. Contact the innkeepers for details.
Is the guest house accessible?
Because the house was built in 1930, our two suites are up a flight of stairs with no ground-floor suite. Read our full Accessibility Statement.
