About Biltmore
Established in 1895 in Asheville, North Carolina, Biltmore was created by George Vanderbilt as a restorative mountain getaway on a thoughtfully planned, self-sustaining estate. The property is still privately owned by his descendants and welcomes guests year-round for cultural experiences within its 8,000-acre grounds. Centered around Biltmore House, the 250-room château known as America’s Largest Home, this beloved National Historic Landmark comprises renowned gardens, conserved forests and farmland, more than 20 miles of nature trails, Antler Hill Village, and an award-winning Winery. The estate also features a collection of restaurants, retail shops, and overnight accommodations, including a four-star luxury Inn, a charming hotel, and carefully restored private cottages.
