This past weekend we visited my parents in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where we stayed in a cozy little cottage, tucked away in the woods for two days. On our last day we visited Ashville. My mom, J and I went to the Biltmore Estate and toured the grounds. It was so wonderful in every way! We also did an Upstairs, Downstairs "behind the scenes" tour. There is no photography inside so wamp wamp, but of course our favorite parts were the servants quarters and downstairs kitchens. This estate was so grand and the landscape so wooded and hilly, overlooking the mountains, it was hard to capture on an iPhone the expanse of the property.
I am so intrigued by the whole story and the beauty of that magnificent restoration. What a fun day! I want to return.
