Emma Nevada House  

" "We have stayed at most of the inns in town. This is The Best! No need to look further." For the ultimate in gracious living and relaxation, plan your next getaway at the Emma Nevada House. This charming Victorian, built in 1856, is considered childhood home to 19th century opera star Emma Nevada. In the early 1990's the house was completely restored to reflect its original elegance and beauty. Many antique items were refurbished and modernized, including gas-lit chandeliers, claw foot tubs, transoms, and doors. Rare antique glass windows throughout create a light and airy atmosphere. At afternoon check-in, tea and home-baked cookies welcome you. Once you settle in, cuddle by the fireplace in the Living Room or enjoy the Music Room with its antique piano. Visit the spectacular Sun Room, which is wonderful for afternoon reading. It has six walls of floor-to-ceiling antique windows and is surrounded by tall trees. Take in the stunning Sierra scenery and lush garden from lounge chairs on the wrap-around front or back porches. In the mornings, savor a full breakfast served in the Dining Room and Sun Room overlooking the garden. Breakfast includes fresh fruit, juice, freshly baked muffins or scones, special entrees such as tomato Gruyere quiche or blueberry waffles, and Emma's special cobbler. Of course, breakfast always includes freshly brewed coffee or an espresso, cappuccino, latte or mocha, made to your order. At the Emma Nevada House, you can enjoy a quiet and relaxing getaway. Or use the Inn to celebrate an anniversary or birthday. Let us help you create a surprise package for your sweetheart on that special occasion. The Emma Nevada House is located just five doors up from the Grandmere's Inn on historic Broad Street. At all times, the Emma Nevada House welcomes you."
