Trip To The Biltmore House


We took an over night trip to The Biltmore House and Estate over Labor Day weekend.The Biltmore House is located in Asheville,NC.It was an overcast day so the sky isn't too clear in the picture.There is a bus in front of The Biltmore.We had to park in a parking lot and take a shuttle bus to the home.


This is a picture of the outside of the mansion.It is the largest privately owned home in the US.


The home consists of 259 rooms on 4 stories.There are 33 bedrooms which were used by family and guests.The home has 43 bathrooms,65 fireplaces and three kitchens.In the basement are an indoor swimming pool,bowling alley and gym.


The tour of the home was quite interesting.Construction of The Biltmore got under way in 1889.The home was opened in 1895 after 6 years of construction.The home is surrounded by 8,000 acres of land.For more information concerning The Biltmore please check out their web site:
I will continue my Disney World blog tomorrow.

I love the Biltmore House. We've been in the summer and the winter. It is a beautiful place.

We saw the biltmore House on Ghosthunters. They said it's haunted. Don't guess you saw "anything" paranormal while you were there!
