Biltmore Estate, Asheville, NC


Biltmore Estate
My mom and Maggie drove to Snow Hill to come visit us for the Thanksgiving holiday. Since Clay and I both had to work the day after Thanksgiving, we decided to take a road trip that weekend back to Asheville to the Biltmore Estate. Every inch of the mansion was beautifully decorated for Christmas and it took us almost 2 hours just to tour the house. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let people take pictures inside of the house, so I just have outside pictures.




Amazing views off the back of the house

Everything in the house was so beautiful and well maintained it's hard to believe that real people actually used to live there. The house is still owned by members of the Vanderbilt family, but no one lives in the house currently. After touring the house we went to the winery and did some Biltmore wine tasting.
