Wow, Beth and Tony! Thank you so much for a unique personal B&B experience We enjoyed and will never forget the breakfast you researched and prepared for us that matched the Laura Ingalls Wilder “Little House” theme of our vacation. The “Johnny Cakes” were delicious and such fuss! You even chose the evening dessert – Angel Food Cake – because it was popular in pioneer days. Thank you, thank you for sharing your beautiful house and for making us feel like beloved friends.
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 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.
