This elegant Victorian Greek Revival mansion, 10 minutes north of York, is a treat to the senses. It has gorgeous leaded and stained-glass windows, in-tricate inlaid flooring, ornate molding, and Victorian antiques throughout. Breakfast is served in a formal dining room at a walnut dining table that’s long enough to seat 30. In guest rooms you will find brass, iron, and massively carved beds. Three rooms have fireplaces. This house was built in 1850 by John Emig, Jr., who made his fortune producing the commercial wagons that hauled goods along 19th-century roads. Innkeeper Linda Bailey recently took over the inn from her mother, Jane Llewellyn, who extensively restored the mansion, then opened it as a bed-and-breakfast in June 1984. There are antiques shops and factory outlets nearby. Or you can just relax on the expansive porch and gaze across the road at the old wagonworks, just as the Emig family did 100 years ago.
