Welcome To The Biltmore

The Greenhouse
View from the back terrace

The love of my life!





The mountain views were breathtaking.



The Biltmore Estate was completed in 1895 after an army of artisans labored for 6 years to create a country estate that would rival the great manors of Europe and embody the finest in architecture, landscape planning, and interior design. (Yes, I bought the coffee table book :)
The Biltmore boasts 250 rooms, an indoor swimming pool, pieces of art from around the world, the finest furnishings, gardens and even a green house.

Mitch and I spent two days touring the house, walking the grounds, and taking in all that the Biltmore has to offer. I could easily fill up 5 blog entries with architectural photos alone.

Love the pictures! Thanks for sharing. I had forgotten how beautiful this place was. We were there about 18 years ago! Glad you had a wonderful time! Miss you all!
