My Favorite Mansion
{source}
And those are only 3 of the 250 rooms in this spectacular house.
But, I think the exterior, because of the distinctly French architecture, is my favorite part…
It’s just amazing.
Near the house, in the former Stable area, there’s a gift shop, confectionary, a café, & an ice cream shop.
The estate also includes thousands of acres to explore, including beautiful gardens & mountain landscape.

Another fun part of the property is the Farm at Antler Hill Village. There are great activities for kids here, including old-fashioned toys to play with & live demonstrations.
This is where we met the Biltmore Master Blacksmith, and he showed us how he makes his signature iron leaves.
Trust me, if you’re ever in the Asheville, NC area, you’re going to want to visit Biltmore. Click here for more info.
This is not a sponsored post, & I was not compensated to share my opinion about the Biltmore Estate. I just love this place & think you will as well. I’ll be back tomorrow to tell you what other must-seewe foundin Asheville. Bye for now!

We visited the Biltmore Estate years ago when we lived in Virginia. Without doubt it is a very awesome place! I loved the tulip garden in full bloom when we were there!

Great pics– the Asheville area is my hometown and I go whenever I get the chance.. Mrs V's room is the room I got in trouble in– those lion head drawer pulls were just toooooo tempting and I reached out to touch one. I won't be making that mistake again!! Wow the fussing at I got! And I was a grown woman at the time. But I love Biltmore House and love how different it is every season!

Great family pics. I was in Ashville a few years ago on business but I didn't get a chance to to the mansions. I did love the early morning fog in the mountains. Hopefully we can visit again.

Wow! I would love to visit the mansion! It looks beautiful. We actually are going to visit NC in May. I've never been anywhere near there before, so I am excited. 🙂 We live in Missouri now, but I've lived lots of places, including Australia. So it's funny how many parts of our great country I still haven't seen yet!
