It had been over 5 years since we went to the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC. It was time to go back! We knew this would probably be our last getaway before the baby comes.
This place is just beautiful, even on a rainy day in December. Besides the self-guided audio tour, we also took the Architect's Tour, which allowed us to go up on the roof and into some back areas of the house. That was really interesting, and the guide, who gave a lot of background information, was great. I was amazed that the greenhouse (first picture below) was still functioning fully too. The poinsettia variety was phenomenal- I've never seen that many different kinds- red, but also pink and white and speckled, plus a host of other plants.
We also stayed at a B & B called The Sweet Biscuit Inn. We were completely satisfied with our stay there. Our room was not too large, not to small, with tasteful decorations. The hosts gave advice if you needed, but let you have your time and space too. The Christmas decorations were simply gorgeous- I got some ideas for my house next year! Breakfast was yummy too. I would definitely recommend it and go there again.
