Emerson Inn

Lovely rooms and lobby. Grounds are pretty. For a bed and breakfast, they only offered pastries in am, supposedly till 11am, they were out of coffee by 10am, and pastries gone by 9am noone checked and refilled the pastries. Regular breakfast was to be paid for in the restaurant. Overall, I found the inn relaxing and comfortable which is the most important

Lovely rooms, fabulous ambience, fantastic ocean view with beautiful landscaping. Nice and peaceful tranquil location. Breakfast is including when you book directly through the hotel. Breakfast was outstanding. Thank you Sarah for making our anniversary stay exemplary! The chocolate covered strawberries were delish! Can’t say enough about this historical hotel. We will definitely be back to enjoy the property again.

We got married at the Emerson Inn in June 2019, and we COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER with that choice of venue! We fell in love with the inn the first time we visited- it’s charming and intimate and the views are beautiful- but it’s always hard to know ahead of time how the experience will be. It not only was everything I’d hoped, but exceeded expectations across the board! We had 88 people at our wedding so we did the ‘exclusive use’ package where you fill the 34 rooms of the inn for the weekend. Having everyone in one place allowed for so much more convenience for the guests (since they didn’t have to worry about transportation between events) and more time for all of us to catch up: over breakfast, relaxing on the porch, etc. I loved getting ready in the morning and glancing out on the lawn to see friends coming and going, playing lawn games, relaxing at the pool, going for walks, etc. We had the ceremony inside the parlor (the fallback plan for weather), and it was beautiful. The space/layout was great for the reception too.
Just as great as the setting was the SERVICE!! Everyone was commenting on it: all of the waitstaff were exceptionally helpful, proactive with solving problems, and positive. Candice is the event coordinator and she took care of everything. She really cares about what she does and her heart was in it from beginning to end. She was also perfect with sort of preserving and protecting our plan for what we wanted: when guests had suggestions (turning down music volume during dinner, or ‘wouldn’t it be nice if the flower girls did XYZ’), Candice politely and succinctly deferred to our plan, or checked in with us to confirm whether that was okay with us- she was focused, positive, and socially masterful. Emily the rooming coordinator was proactive and helpful. The food was delicious for our catered meals and for morning breakfast, and everything worked out well across the board. HIGHLY recommend Emerson Inn for a wedding venue!!!

First time here, so much nicer than a cookie cutter Holiday Inn or Hilton. Historic building, built in the mid 1800's. Beautiful views, NO NOISE, dog friendly rooms, huge beds. Ask about the buildings history when you get here. There is one room in which Ralph Waldo Emerson stayed, which has been maintained as if he still frequented the inn.

We had our wedding at the Emerson Inn at the end of April and were so happy with the experience. Candice, the Events Manager, and Emily, the Guest Services Manager, were both incredible throughout the whole process of booking the Inn, rooms, and putting together our wedding.

The rooms are lovely, clean, and very comfortable (the beds are awesome). The food from the Pigeon Cove Tavern was great-we did a buffet and all the food was delicious-and breakfast was yummy as well! Of course, the view and location cannot be beat.

If you're looking for a relaxing and lovely night away, or a great place to host your wedding on the water-this is it!
