Client Restoration Project

Emerson Resort & Spa

Mt. Tremper, NY

53 guestrooms & suites, restored in 11 days.

Northern Lights Restoration was proud to partner with the Emerson Resort and Spa to complete a full restoration of the Main Inn. Our project included the full restoration of all 53 guestrooms and suites in the main Inn, focusing on the standard room furniture, fireplaces, and bathroom vanities. We also meticulously restored the Main Inn doors and the grand exterior fireplace mantel, returning their richness after years of significant weather damage.

The Emerson Resort & Spa is a luxury retreat nestled in the Catskill Mountains, conveniently located just two hours from Manhattan, New York. Situated on the banks of Esopus Creek, the resort offers accommodations in their elegant and spacious Main Inn and the more rustic, charming separate Lodges. Guests can indulge in the award-winning Emerson Spa, explore a unique collection of boutiques at The Shops at Emerson (housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century dairy barn), and marvel at the World’s Largest Kaleidoscope—a historic silo transformed into a larger-than-life attraction, towering 60 feet tall.

Thank you for the amazing job you did for us, which saved us a great deal of money and time by not having to order new furniture.

I am so pleased with the work of Northern Lights Restoration. You and your daughter were professional, timely, and a pleasure to work with, and there was never a time that you said you couldn’t do something extra for us. The furniture and woodwork in our rooms and common spaces look great. Our guests are happy and I’m happy!

Please feel free to use me as a reference—I’m looking forward to highly recommending you.
