My husband brought me to Biltmore as an anniversary gift because I have been wanting to see it for years now. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that they don't allow inside photography!!! It was crowded and people would run over you if you didn't keep the line moving. We did have the audio tour as part of our... more

I went to the house this morning, and right off the bat realized that the staff aren't exactly accomodating. The estate opens at 8:30 am, and I waited at the gift shop parking lot until 8:30 to enter. I drove up to the gate at 8:32, where I was told they weren't open yet and that I would have to... more

Saw the entire estate - walking and driving. The estate itself is worth it; the other parts are tourist attractions. more

The Biltmore Estate is an amazing private home. It is unbelievable that a single man could conceive of building a 250 room home and put in the "new" inventions such as electricity, indoor plumbing, a bowling alley, and an indoor pool with underwater lights. more

This was a fabulous place! We spent all day on the grounds and did not see everything. We spent 2 hours touring the house. The tour is self-paced and for $10 you can get the audio tour. It was definitely worth the extra money. People without the audio looked a little lost with only the guide book. Be sure to... more

The Biltmore Estate is a must for everyone. Imagine 400 acres under roof, including 42 bathrooms (built at a time when most people did not have indoor plumbing), over 250 rooms, indoor gym including bowling alley, indoor pool (which had lights when most people did not have electricity). Originally the estate had 125,000 acres, now there are 8,000 acres --... more

The Biltmore Estate is a wonderful romantic getaway in America's finest opulence. The Biltmore House was originally The Vanderbilt Family’s country estate. The Biltmore House is also America’s Largest Mansion. It is a huge mansion, meticulously maintained and thoughtfully presented. We found the audio guide to be extremely helpful and well worth the extra cost (although, it was free for... more

My husband and I have visited Biltmore several times in the past and it's always a delightful experience each time. We were a little concrned to read on this site of the new timed entry visits for the house, but all worked out well. We visited the house twice during our last stay in Asheville September 27-October15. We walked the... more

Other than being a little high priced, experiencing the Biltmore was a highlight of my vacation. I would have liked to have been able to spend 2 days there. The tour does require walking up and down stairs since there is only limited elevator service for one floor. I really enjoyed seeing the basement where they had an exersice room,... more
