    Greedy little guys

    This used to be an inexpensive place to come and have fun. Now it costs for "everything" as they nickle and dime you to death. No separate pricing to walk the grounds only. Must pay an entry fee to go visit the winery or shops...More

    Private 3 hour horseback ride with picnic lunch

    We booked the private trail ride with lunch back in August. After all the glowing reviews, and the amount of money we paid ($631.30 which was $492.20 for horse ride, $139.10 for the daily admission) we expected it to be awesome. We had planned to...More

    Soooo crowded

    Very well organized. $80 for tickets. Avoid weekends if possible as it is claustrophobically crowded. Enough so that we couldn’t really linger in any room. Would have liked the audio guide but that was another $25. Gardens and conservatory well worth the walk.

    One of the most interesting places I’ve visited

    Loved going through the house on the self guided tour, but the guided tour of the rooftop and upstairs/downstairs was really interesting. We got a great deal of information about the inner workings of the house that you didn’t get on the self guided tour....More

    Like a French chateau

    The Biltmore is stunning! The exterior and grounds feel like the Loire Valley in France. The self guided tour allows you to go at your own pace and linger over rooms that interest you. The individuals who were in several of the rooms (guides/docents)) could...More
