This is quite an experience to see. It can certainly take 2 days to see all there is to offer at Biltmore. The house is the largest private home in the US, built by George Vanderbuilt, and covers several thousands of acres of land. The gardens in Spring and Summer are quite beautiful and extensive. The restoration that is continually... more

Biltmore is absolutely stunning as other reviewers have stated. Well worth the price of admission. I just wanted to add a few comments about taking children to Biltmore. Others have said that they would not want their children along. However, our six year old son loved it. He said his favorite part of the trip was the house. The employees... more

This is not to be missed! Even our teenage daughter loved it. The gardens are breathtaking. The mansion is amazing...be warned that there are alot of stairs to climb if you want to see the entire house. The winery is outstanding. My husband is in the wine business and we make it a point to visit wineries whenever we travel.... more

As other reviews have mentioned, it is a pricey day to spend but it is worth every penny. We went to the Biltmore in June of 2008 on a family trip. Out of the 6 people who went, half of us had seen it previously (I have been at least 3 other times over the years) but yet there is... more

Your first impression as you take the Shuttle Bus through the Wrought Iron Entry Gates is an incredible gush of wind as everyone on the bus swoooon's. This is One Awesome Crib. 175,000 sq. ft. of luxurious French Renaissance Castle in the middle of 8,000 acres of prime Woodlands. The Vanderbilts were Noveau Riche American's who took a 5 million... more

The Biltmore Estate will blow you away. No matter how much you read here, you'll have to see it for yourself. The rooms are grander than grand, and the foyer can fit my house into it! This is the biggest house in the United States - bigger even than Hearst Castle, which we have toured as well. This is much... more

My husband & I are Passholders, so a few tips. Biltmore is expensive, but research the rates online ahead of time to get the best deal. Go in January or Feburary for much less money and far fewer crowds. You'll miss the gardens but the greenhouse is still impressive. Restaurants are a bit pricey, but always excellent and with excellent... more

My wife and I just returned from a visit to Biltmore! It was a great time and a must see if you are in the Asheville area. It is somewhat pricey at $47 pp plus the extra $8 for the audio tour. However, if you go you MUST get the audio tour otherwise you will miss out on so much... more
