Emilie's Guidebook
Sightseeing
The Biltmore is an Asheville must-see. Imagine a Loire Valley Château smack in the middle of Western NC. Plan on a full day, the self-guided tour is a must, the Stables are great for lunch, can’t miss the gardens, trail rides are a secret adventure to add on and Antler Hill Village has shopping, small animals to visit and the wine tastings.

The gardens were also designed by Olmsted (who did the Biltmore gardens), so for guests who don't have time for the full Biltmore experience this is a wonderful spot to check out. We love hiking along Bent Creek, exploring the epic gardens, the lights at Christmas and picnics all year round!
