The Emma Grace

There is one reason this sweet B and B gets a 3 star and that is the duplicity in not describing two of their rooms adequately. Room 6 “The States” is not in the main building but outside on the other side of a small courtyard and it has an entrance directly on the street. It is a dark room without a window that opens so to get fresh air you have to open the door onto the street and all the passersby look in. It is the Main Street going into Cooper but Cooper is small so luckily it isn’t that busy. We were so upset to get this small, dark and dingy room when we booked months in advance and had our choice of any room. We thought it would be cute with all the State plates in the wall. It isn’t - it is one of the worst hotel rooms we have ever stayed in. Now that that is out of the way the Emma Grace is lovely! Our friends had a room in the main house and it was utterly charming with antiques and high windows and exposed brick. The breakfast is fantastic - cooked up by Chris who is also fantastic. He felt so bad about our room but he is not the owner so there isn’t much he can do. It was a combination of the eclipse and my husband’s birthday so I put a lot of effort into finding the best spot for both, I found the spot but not the room. The owners must put something on the website to warn other travelers that two of the rooms are not in the main house and are on the street without windows that open. The other room in the street is Room 7 but I don’t know what title it has on the website.

All was good thank you

The Emma Grace is exceptional in all aspects. Greeted by the owner, Jennifer, with open arms - literally! And things just got better from there. The Hemingway room was perfect! The decor - featuring Hemingway and his travels - was delightful. The bed..ahhh... was a dream to fall into after a busy day. Then - the creme de la creme - breakfast. Words cannot describe the mouthwatering scrambled eggs which accompanied a grilled-to-perfection pork chop, red velvet muffin parfait and fresh fruit. All this ambrosia followed by heavenly coffee. And that was just the first morning! Will we return to the Emma Grace? That question answers itself!

The stay was excellent, no complaints.

Absolutely delightful place. Check in and out super simple. Comfortable space that afforded a much needed break from the stress of every day life. What a hidden gem! Not to mention the awesome breakfast.

Everything was excellent

Property was built in 1900 and has been restored beautifully. The rooms, staff and breakfast was amazing.

Everything was great they went above and beyond and made my kids to go bags on Sunday because we were leaving before breakfast to drive home so Saturday they packed bags and left them in the refrigerator for our drive home.

This was a very sweet place to stay. There was no television but that was fine with us. The gentleman who made us breakfast was superb and very friendly. We would recommend this stay to everyone.
