Absolutely loved this resort! It is aesthetically pleasing and the E.B. Morgan house had the antique charm, which I have fallen in love with. We couldn’t get any spa services this time because of time constraints but plan to re-visit and get a spa service sometime soon. We loved the 1833 dining experience, all the items were amazing.

This place offers a small town atmosphere and is a great place to get away and relax. They offer complimentary activities and paid activities so you'll always have something to do. The spa is absolutely amazing. As long as you scheduled a service, you can spend all day relaxing by the pool or take a nap upstairs in single person cabana. They offer complimentary soup and salad and other paid meals as well. My wife and I loved this place and plan to return again.

Same time next year ♥️

Another flawless experience. We spent the day at the spa—best spa on the planet. We then went to the Inn and checked into our beautifully appointed room and spent the evening at 1833 restaurant. Every single thing was perfect. We return every year.

Aurora is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Perfectly manicured by the groundskeepers, there is no garbage or litter to be found anywhere, no gum on the sidewalks…. an old picturesque small town, and nothing about it is rundown! Our rooms were beautifully modernized with a gorgeous bathroom and very comfortable bed. Every detail for your stay has been considered. Aurora is a special hidden gem! We had the most romantic stay, and have already recommended it to many of our friends. Well removed from the hustle and bustle of modern life, a stay at the Inns of Aurora is the perfect getaway. Immerse yourself within their perfectly curated bubble of bliss…. it is truly an unforgettable experience!
