Careful thought was given to preserve the feel of the original when rebuilt after the fire. We felt in a way as if we had stepped back in time..yet lacked nothing of modern comforts. Unique and romantic! Excellent service, the complementary breakfast was truly the best we have ever experienced.

Beautiful 2 BR cabin - Rocky Broad - right on the banks of the Broad River. Opening the sliding door or window allowed the sounds of the rushing water to soothe our minds and the fire pit was a great place for late night conversation. The meals at the Esmeralda Inn were fabulous and every staff member was attentive and helpful. They all seemed genuinely eager to assist. Highly recommend this destination for a getaway!

Bit disappointing
The property is beautiful and overlooking a stunning river, staff was very nice and responsive, but it was full of ants and was really not what we would have expected for the price. We were also a bit disappointed with the lack of communication regarding the facilities and general information.

Quick get away close to home.
Service was excellent, very friendly staff, and very clean. Only complaint would be the mattress was uncomfortable, definitely needed a new one, and the showers needed to be updated. These 2 complaints would not keep me from staying again but it would make it more enjoyable. We will be back and I do recommend staying here if you're in the lake lure area.
