We went as part of our annual family gathering. The Biltmore House was amazing. Definitely a don't miss. We also went to Antler Hill. Wine tasting was fun. The Biltmore Legacy exhibit is worth seeing to find out about the Vanderbilts.

Wow!! This was an incredible place to visit. The architecture and the beautiful gardens amidst the mountains was breathtaking. I took a million pictures and none of them do it justice. The campus’s history is very well preserved and everything is run so well. Definitely a must see.

This is a must see, but this time of year, very busy. Not for people with mobility issues. Yes, there is an elevator to the 2nd floor, but lots of stairs to the basement- very tough-Bring your wallet if you get hungry. The staff couldn't be more helpful or nicer. Went to the Italian Renaissance Alive Experience and this is a must see.

European manner house in America. Awesome, clearly inspired by the royal families of Europe. The gardens however look like the gardens of an English royal property if it had no one maintain it for a year or so.

Where to begin with ?? A sum of very good taste, inspiration and wealthness. All very good preserved. So much history, also. It's delightful. They were already decorating several Christmas trees inside the mansion. You keep in awe at every step. The gardens have so many flower's species and so well grown and kept that is a tour to take.

This was a nice time of year to visit, it wasn't crowded or hot. This is a huge home, so be ready to get your steps in. The gardens are pretty to stroll through. There are 2 places to grab a lunch or snack - one near the house entrance/cue and the other behind the greenhouse in the gardens. As a real estate agent I've toured thousands of homes, but this is the biggest. Pretty views, fun to see the way the Vanderbilts lived once upon a time. We did the early morning tour, paid extra to do so. The small group and private guide was nice. The regular time would have probably been fine too.

I didn’t know much about the estate prior to visiting Asheville. I think it surprised everyone in our group how much we enjoyed. If you have visited Versailles, it’s a similar experience. We arrived mid-morning and explored the gardens and conservatory before a light lunch at the cafe adjacent to the house. Our entry time was 1:00. It was busy, but not overwhelming. The audio tour was informative and professional. For my children, 7 and 10, there was a children’s version told from the perspective of the family dog - both found it engaging! The staff was friendly and helpful. I’d definitely suggest going on a weekday if you can, as well as a time of year when it’s not too hot or cold. The gardens were glowing in the autumn light and we got some beautiful photos of our family. The views of the mountains were breathtaking. Inside the house you’ll find exquisite attention to detail. If art, architecture and interior design are your thing, you’ll be captivated. Works from Monet, Renoir, and Sargent are on display. We were pretty worn out after touring the house, so skipped the wine tasting but did take our kids over to the farm and playground for a bit. Overall one of those things worth doing once if you can.

Amazing!!!!! Very organized. The headset tour is so interesting. The estate is so beautiful. Tickets expensive- worth it!!! There is a lot to do here. Easily a full day if not more. Food choices very good. Gardens stunning. We were so lucky- they were putting up some of the Christmas decorations. 65 trees!! I want to go back again. Winery, gift shops...more areas, we ran out of time.

Since my first architectural history class I have always dreamed of visiting The Biltmore House. I bought tickets online before leaving for our North Carolina vacation. From the parking, check-in, to touring the house and gardens, all was very organized. The staff helpful and knowledgeable. There are not enough adjectives for the building itself. Very reminiscent of chateaus in Europe. We opted for an early self-guided audio tour, lunch at the Stable Cafe (for which I had made reservations), followed by a nice walk through the gardens and greenhouse in the afternoon.

This is definitely a must see if you are in Asheville. We have been to other Vanderbilt properties but this was the most opulent. The house is very interesting and huge. There is an audio self guided tour and even with many people visiting, was still very good to see. Get there early to your ticket time as it is a long drive from the entry to the parking, then walking to the house. We had salads at the cafe while we waited our entry. After the tour, we went to the ice cream shop - the ice cream there was incredible. The grounds are beautiful. Even in October, the flowers were wonderful. And the rose garden had a number of varieties - we met a groundskeeper who loved his roses and learned a lot about them there. There is a conservatory, where indoor flowers are grown - wow. The orchids are diverse and very colorful. There were beautiful plants throughout. We wandered over to the Winery. There happened to be a free wine tasting so we tried a number of their wines. It was so fun. We were then ready to have dinner so did try to go to one of the onsite properties but the wait times were ridiculous. This was a wonderful visit!
