We loved our room (number 10) as it offered great views of Chimney Rock and the mountains. We loved opening the windows and hearing the sound of the nearby river. The room had all the modern conveniences and the bed was so comfortable! We loved the game room area on the second floor. We also enjoyed breakfast both mornings we...

Thank you for taking time to write a review! It's hard to beat the views and room 10, the Premium View King room, has the best in the house. The river outside the window is a nice added touch. I'm glad you enjoyed the game room. The views from there are great too!

My husband and I stayed at the Esmeralda to celebrate a dear friend's wedding. The staff were amazing, the rooms were comfortable, and the outdoor areas were beautiful! I can't say enough about how welcomed we felt and how relaxed we were when we left. I would recommend the Esmeralda for a weekend getaway or a formal wedding. I can't...

My son and daughter-in-law were married this month at the Esmeralda. The outdoor ceremony was beautiful and the weather was perfect. The owners and staff made the reception very memorable. They went out of their way to accommodate everyone. There is also a hot tub and fire pit for evening enjoyment. It was a beautiful wedding weekend......all of the guests...

I was ask to pack an overnight bag and get in car. What a wonderful surprise. This place is awsome. Very romantic.
Thank you for your review! I'm glad we could be part of your surprise.
We don't advertise that we have a pool. I guess the photograph of the 16 person Jacuzzi could be mistaken for a pool. Nothing like a hot tub under the stars!
Please visit us again soon!

We absolutely loved Chimney Rock and it was a pity we were only staying for one night.
The Esmeralda Inn looks beautiful from the outside and even better on the inside. The staff were very friendly and the complementary cheese and wine between 4-5pm was lovely (and unexpected). Our room was a little basis and quite dark, perhaps we should...

Thank you for your thoughtful review. The Traditional King rooms are on the back side of the building and therefore don't have as spectacular a view as some of the other rooms, but they all have the wonderful beds and furnishings. The Inn has great public areas such as the Game Room with wonderful views of the river and Chimney...

History and world-class guest service are alive and well at the Esmeralda Inn! This past month, we were honored to host our wedding at the Inn, sharing it with our closest family members and friends. The experience was magical! From the food, to the luxurious accommodations, to the wonderful staff at every level, the experience exceeded all of our (fairly...

The Esmeralda is a modern version of a famous inn at Chimney Rock, NC. It combines the charm of a 19th century inn with the modern conveniences of a five star hotel. The staff and owner were extremely helpful and friendly.
This location is great for folks looking to ride some killer mountain bike trails. It is located within 30...

Thank you so much for taking time to write this great review. We get quite a few mountain bikers here. There are some great trails in the area, with more planned for the future.
It's nice to come back to a little pampering after a strenuous ride. I'm glad you enjoyed the Jacuzzi and dinner.
We appreciate your recommendation and...

We used this hotel for an overnight stop to see the area. The hotel has lovely reception/public areas, with old wood and open fireplaces. The staff are particularly friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful evening meal - the best French onion soup I have ever tasted!!! The room was fine if a little crowded and the bathroom very nice....

Thank you for your thoughtful review. I would agree, it's great French onion soup! Some of our rooms are not large, but we think that adds to their charm. We have great public areas with wonderful views, so you probably won't spend a lot of time in the room! This is a beautiful areas, with many fun things to do...

We really enjoyed our stay at The Esmeralda, the ambiance, the staff, and we loved the food.

We hope you'll return soon!
