The best time to visit the Biltmore House in the mountains of North Carolina is during the fall. That way not only will you get to enjoy the amazing Biltmore House but you
will also be able to enjoy the beauty of the leaves changing colors. There are few things more beautiful than the North Carolina Mountains during the fall with the leaves
turning bright orange, yellow, and red. The vibrant colors serve as a beautiful backdrop to the imposing Biltmore Estate. The Biltmore Estate consists of an immense
mansion built by the Vanderbilt family in the late 1800s. It is the largest home that is privately owned in the United States and the descendents of the Vanderbilts still own
the home. It is amazingly large at 175,000 square feet. The available tours of the home are simply incredible and it is unbelievable to tour the home and realize that more
than 130 years ago architecture, design, and the like were so advanced.
The best time to visit if you want to save money is during the winter months. And, many times the North Carolina winter is fairly mild so you won't be worried about
freezing to death when visiting. Hotel prices are much cheaper during this off season and you can even get a winter pass for $35, which is considerable savings! If you
want to really enjoy the atmosphere of the Biltmore Estate then staying at the Inn is really the best route. The Biltmore Inn is beautiful and located on the Biltmore Estate
and when you stay there you receive free entrance into the Biltmore Estate. This is a great way to combine the hotel with the tour and save money while really enjoying
the atmosphere.
