Exterior View of The Esmeralda
Premier Blue Mountain Escape Over 100 Years
For more than 100 years, The Esmeralda has been a "go-to" place in North Carolina's Blue Mountain range. The combination of rustic charm and modern amenities makes for a tranquil, comfortable experience. Several of the inn's 14 guest rooms offer remarkable views of Chimney Rock, the Rocky Broad River, and the surrounding Hickory Nut Gorge. Great views can also be captured from The Esmeralda's on-site, full-service restaurant and outdoor patio area. Located on one of the most picturesque canyons in the eastern United States, this playground of exploration is just outside the doorsteps of The Esmeralda.

Meeting packages are available that provide assistance with the set-up, as well as access to much of the inn. It's the perfect place to escape the stuffy offices and enjoy a refreshing retreat with the team!
