This past fall my husband and I visited the humble Vanderbilt Homestead called Biltmore for our 23rd Wedding Anniversary trip. This was my first time ever visiting the Biltmore Estate and I have to tell you I was in awe of this beautiful home located in my favorite part of the mountains Asheville, North Carolina. I would love to go see these grounds in the spring as they were amazing in October!
We also got our apples to can and dry for the year while we were up in the mountains but we had an absolutely amazing time I am so glad we went so I am going to take you on some of our adventures at Biltmore….kind of a pictorial tour and January is such a great month to plan trips for the Spring and Summer anyway. You will not believe the gardens or the grounds and we had an extreme fascination with the farm grounds…wonder why 😉 I was in heaven! By the way I have so many more photos there is no way I could share them all with you but just know I would return again and again and the staff is phenomenal they will answer any question you have! I will be following up with a Part 2 of this trip and how we kept things on the “Cheap” for a frugal vacation!
I hope your enjoyed our tour of the Biltmore estate and grounds and hopefully I can share more pictures with all of you soon! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Fondly,

Gorgeous pics! A trip to the Biltmore is on my bucket list!
Shutterbug thank you so much for stopping in and you know I am so thankful that I got to see Biltmore even though I waited for years for the opportunity 🙂 I met a woman while I was there that had waited about 20 years longer than myself!
It feels like a European castle, right here in the US.
It truly is and they have restaurants and shops where the stables used to be just unbelievable!
I do love The Biltmore such a beautiful place. They have great wines too.
Dolly we did visit the wine tasting and it was wonderful! The grounds and the home are what left a lasting impression 🙂 So glad you stopped over here! 🙂
Lovely! What a treat! 🙂

Thanks Kristi! 🙂 So glad you took time on your Sunday to stop in….
WOW, that’s one beautiful place and something Mrs.CBB and I would totally love to do. The pictures are phenomenal!
Thanks so much Mr. CBB…..we had to take turns carrying the “good” camera…ha ha but so worth it 🙂 Hope you guys go visit there someday. I really want to go to Canada some day especially since my Paternal grandfathers family is from there….
We would love to tour around the USA one day. Even Mrs.CBB hasn’t been anywhere in the US but Michigan so she would love it. Where do you recommend?
Well I am not the best person to recommend since I am not very well traveled compared to most….but some of my favorite trips have been New York City we went to Broadway, I went to Dallas TX once and that was awesome and Colorado is really amazing country too! But if you want to feel like you are in a tropical oasis you have to go to Key West Florida 🙂
Karen: Loved the post on the Vanderbilt Mansion. I have been there several times…long ago used to go there for New Years Eve and it is such an amazing place and so beautiful! Jim
Thanks so much Jim! We cannot wait to return. I am not one too be spendy but I cannot wait to go on the “Architectural Lovers tour! ” It does cost extra but my mind just swoons when I am in that mansion!
