Tour Inside The Biltmore House, Asheville, NC
02 June, 2011
There are more than 200 rooms in the Biltmore House, each with its own history. To get the most enjoyment out of your visit, I strongly suggest renting headsets during your tour. The Biltmore House also offers guided tours. Details are available here.
George and Edith Vanderbilt entertained as many as 40 guests at a time in their home, including some very important and influential people. Here's a picture of the banquet hall at the Biltmore House...
George Vanderbilt's bedroom has nice views of the estate, and 22k gold leaf on the walls...
Edith Vanderbilt's bedroom is decorated with bright colors of cut velvet and silk fabrics...
And for even more history, great food, gifts, wine-tastings, and outdoor adventures, be sure to stroll through Antler Hill Village & Winery on the grounds of the Biltmore Estate...
Asheville has lots of bed & breakfast inns and hotels for your visit. But if your budget allows, the Inn on Biltmore Estate has terrific views and is very convenient. There is also a cottage available on the Biltmore Estate.
There are many things to do at the Biltmore. Take a look at the list of outdoor adventures, family activities, spa packages, dining opportunities, and more online here.
