Thank you for your well thought our response, Haya! That ice cream sounds delicious – too bad they don’t have it anymore! We appreciate you leaving your thoughts!

They housed their cars there as if it were a garage. I miss their original ice cream made on the estate. The ticket price was $79 but there were no specialty tours. You just saw it all. The upper servants’ living area is not just downstairs for lower servants.
I do recommend you read up on the true family history, what happened, and why Cornelia left and never came back to the Biltmore. Why did George and Edith move to France closing up the house at one point. The house is historically important and played an important role as Asheville did during WWII as well as the lives of the people who lived there during the Great Depression. Look at George Vanderbilt’s bedroom locks gifted by a friend of his at the time his mother lived there. What man needs three deadbolts on his bedroom doors? Look for the original key hanging behind the front door.

Visit the Biltmore at least once. I also recommend visiting Shelbourne Vermont where George’s favorite sister lived Eliza lived with her husband. George and Edith spent time there.

I’m grew up in Asheville and have been going to the estate for years and still love it. My wife and I have year long passes and still love the house tours as well as the hiking trails-biking trails-gardens-music-about everything. It’s kinda of an oasis in the middle of all the craziness the city has become. Myself and most locals that I know don’t really go downtown anymore cause it’s pretty much a tourist trap. But if you like expensive restaurants and brewery’s then I guess it’s a good place to go. Ok thanks for giving space for buffet perspectives. That’s pretty cool!!!!!!

Hey Steve! I totally get that you’re torn – my post is purely just my own opinion! I will say that, had the Biltmore be 1/3 of the cost, I do think we would have found it more “worth it.” But, we just did not think it was based on how much it is to get in but I can see how others may disagree and that’s okay! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
