We had our rehearsal dinner at the Esmeralda, and it was great.  The food was absolutely delicious, and the waiters the night of the dinner were very attentive.  The event coordinator we worked with during the planning process was very responsive to e-mails.  We love the Esmeralda and highly recommend it! 

The Esmeralda Inn treated us like royalty. We truly had the best wedding we could have ever asked for. The lighting, rustic decor, mountain views, and the best food I have ever had, made the wedding special to everyone. I recommend the Esmeralda to everyone who wants an intimate, enjoyable, beautiful venue!

We were married on 01.18.14 at The Esmeralda Inn in Chimney Rock, NC. This venue is a beautiful rustic lodge with restaurant. The Esmeralda has a beautiful stone fireplace among it's rustic decor there is a very elegant feel to the Inn. Lots of history and amazing mountain views all around. This venue is the perfect place to get married if you are looking for a wedding with 50-100 guest in a serene mountain setting. The entire staff was great to work with not to mention the beautiful guest rooms and second floor lounge and game room. As for the food, it was amazing! From cocktail hour to our seated reception the menu was sensational! The chef and kitchen staff were very accommodating and had great suggestions during our tasting. Thank you,
