My wife and I visited here for a quick 2-day weekend get-away.
Let me tell you it was both fantastic and relaxing.
I won't say I was too worried but all the favorable reviews of the Esmerelda had me a little leary...how could everyone who visits have such a great time?
Couple things, the staff is amazing, the restaurant is...

I feel so bad it has taken me so long to write this review. I do the travel and business planning for an office in Charlotte our company is worldwide. In early spring I saw the Esmeralda on-line and thought it might be a great place to host a business group leader retreat. After a few discussions with Doug from...

Staying at The Esmeralda Inn right now. Beautiful. Hubby and I just had dinner and all I can say is, it was absolutely delicious! Our waiter was FANTASTIC. The Esmeralda is definitely a beautiful little gem nestled in the mountain.
More review to follow but wanted to give a quick little update to all of you considering heading out this...

This Christmas week-end was our first stay at the Esmeralda. Our expectations were exceeded. Everything about the property was top-notch. Beautiful facility and location. Everyone went out of their way to make the stay comfortable and relaxing. We are generally not pleased with most "hotel" restaurants as they are often there for "convenience" rather than their culinary abilities. Not so...

My husband and I stayed at the Esmeralda Inn in December. We planned a visit to the Biltmore House to see the Christmas decorations. We were SO pleased with The Esmeralda! The location, the staff, the CLEANLINESS were all wonderful. The rooms are small and quaint, but the views are great from your room. Comfy beds and pillows. Nicely appointed...

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It's hard to beat our location! We're close enough to enjoy the benefits of the city and far enough away to have the quiet of the mountains.
Our guests' comfort is our top priority. I'm glad you were pleased with your room and the amenities.
We are very fortunate to...

My niece celebrated her wedding at the Esmeralda on December 2, 2011. The inn was ours. It was as if it were our home for the duration of our stay. The staff treated us as family providing each guest with as much personal service or autonomy as desired. The restaurant, pantries, and common areas were given over to our needs...

It was such a pleasure having your wedding party with us! The Inn is the right size for a small wedding and everyone seemed to be having a great time. We have a wonderful staff who truly enjoy making our guests comfortable. You were all great guests. You don't need a reason! Just come back any time.
Thank you for...

On 11/29/11 my wife and I stopped in to the Esmeralda for dinner. We live down the street in Chimney Rock, but had not eaten there for quite some time. We do eat out frequently and decided to go there rather than one of the other eateries we tend to frequent. The words "pleasant", "wonderful", and "delicious" are not sufficient...

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a Restaurant review! We are always delighted to see our neighbors stop in. I like to think we're the best restaurant in the area, but when we receive such high praise, I'm convinced! We are very fortunate to have such a great staff! Thank you and please come again soon.

My husband and I just stayed at this hotel over the holiday weekend and we loved it. The hotel has a full game room upstairs along with a fridge/mini kitchen for storage. The restuarant is excellent as well. If you're wanting a quiet but elegant place to stay, this is it.

Thank you for your kind review! The Game Room is a great feature of the Inn, especially on rainy days. I'm glad you enjoyed your time with us.
Come back soon!

We were there Nov. 9/10, 2011 and the one night Breakfast Package was the perfect way to celebrate my 51st birthday. It was a mid-week stay and off-season, so we encountered only two other guests, and we were able to really explore the place without reserve...delightful. The room was very very clean, with plush bedding and fine appointments. The in-room...

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. I think late Fall and Winter here are wonderful! It is quieter and less hectic. I'm glad you enjoyed having the Inn pretty much to yourselves. We think it's the little extras that make The Esmeralda so special. And the views of course!
We look forward to seeing...
