The Biltmore Guide is now LIVE!
You don't have to go all the way to Europe to see a chateau that feels pulled straight out of a storybook. At the height of the Gilded Age, the Vanderbilt family built their very own fairytale castle in the hills of North Carolina, which remains America's Largest Home. The extravagant French-style estate was designed by rockstar architect Richard Morris Hunt, and the expansive surrounding grounds were sculpted by fellow rockstar Frederick Law Olmstead. Since 1930, the estate has been open to the public to enjoy its history, architecture, nature, and seasonal traditions. It's a must see for any trip to Asheville or the Blue Ridge Mountains!
Biltmore is especially magical to visit during the Christmas season. Since Biltmore house was first opened with much pomp and circumstance on Christmas Eve 1895, Christmas has been celebrated in style ever since. The house alone features ~45k lights and ~15k ornaments on 60 Christmas trees, including one that's 35 feet tall. The entire property is home to ~1 million lights and over 100 trees. If you like what you see, you can actually buy Biltmore style ornaments through their partnership with Balsam Hill.
