Asheville, North Carolina: Where to Travel and Stay

The Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina is one of the most scenic and amazing vacation destinations on the East Coast. Nestled among the mountain backdrop is the amazing city of Asheville, a city full of art and culture. But, before you make the trek, you will need to know what to do, where to go and where to stay. So, please allow us to make some recommendations. After all, no one knows Asheville like we do.

Tour the Biltmore House

One of the most fascinating sights anyone can see in Asheville is the Biltmore Estate. Built by George Vanderbilt in 1889, it has become one of the most iconic symbols of Asheville. This humongous French-style chateau has 35 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms, 65 fireplaces, an indoor pool, an indoor bowling alley, 75 acres of formal and informal gardens, the Biltmore Winery, and much more.

The property that the house sits on was originally 125,000 acres. Eventually though, much of it would be sold to the federal government in order to create the Pisgah National Forest. Now, it covers 8,000 acres and includes all sorts of activities like carriage rides, biking, a petting zoo and much more. The Biltmore Estate is an absolute must when you visit Asheville.
