Let me get this clear on the front end - the Biltmore Estate really is beautiful. I think they've done a great job at keeping the greenspace green and minimizing the potential to add unnecessary "attractions" to the property. My beef with the place is that it's way too pricey. For starters, a single day pass is>$50. The mansion... more

This was our second trip to the Biltmore. The first visit, we did two tours and walked through the house but this time we did the one hour horseback ride which was so much fun. It was my first time on a horse and could not have gone any better. The guide, Rachel was fun, informative and easy going. The... more

The dinner we were served at The Bistro at Biltmore Estates was absolutely excellent! Our server, Mary, was extremely professional attending to every tiny detail and provided a lot of information about the entrees. The wine was also superb. I had a 12 oz. Filet Mignon which I ordered Medium Rare and it was cooked to perfection. A cheese plate... more

I've been coming to the Biltmore Estate since I was a little kid. Now in my, um, early 40s, it still thrills me. I won't get into the history of the house, but I have to strongly recommend paying $15 for the Rooftop Tour. This lets you see several unrestored rooms--always a treat--and hallways that aren't on the regular tour.... more

I took my mom to the Biltmore a few weeks ago as a surprise trip, and we had a wonderful time. The house and gardens are great to explore, the vegetarian lunch at The Stable restaurant on the property was delicious, and we had a fun time exploring the rest of the property. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the... more

My family visited Biltmore on Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 11:23. The house was so crowded that we were unable to make it past the first floor. People were shoulder to shoulder, shuffling an inch at a time through the hot rooms. My little kids almost got trampled and we had to leave. I feel it's ridiculous they don't limit... more

We revisited the Biltmore after a hiatus of 10 years and we"re glad we did. The grounds and interior are lovely.If you want to see the gardens quite a bit of walking is required. Luckily the day we visited was cool; and the effort was worth it. There is so much to see. We especially liked the farm. Take time... more

I've visited the Biltmore Estate twice during polar opposite seasons. My first visit was in January and while we didn't get to see the grounds in full bloom we were still amazed at the house and the estate itself. Second visit was in July and we enjoyed more outdoor activities as well. The house itself is awe inspiring. I live... more

This is a beautiful estate and seems to be well maintained. However, if you are physically challenged in any way you may want to reconsider visiting this 'venue'. A discounted entry ticket is offered but the fee is still a bit steep for an abbreviated tour. There is one elevator in the house itself that goes between floors one and... more
