Review & FAQ:
Built for George Washington Vanderbilt II in the early 1890s, the Biltmore Estate in Asheville is one of the most spectacular Gilded Age mansions ever constructed.
The estate is still owned by the Vanderbilt family, but it's now a historic house museum rather than a private residence.
The admission fee includes access to the gardens and three floors of the mansion, and premium guided tours are available for visitors who want a closer look at parts of the mansion that aren't accessible on the regular tour.
Other highlights of the estate include the winery, the tropical conservatory, and the many dining options.
