I love the Biltmore…. The last time I was there it was a Wednesday in September and I had the WHOLE house to myself. Being able to go through and not be rushed or with a crowd was magical looking at every detail. It’s hard to believe that people lived that way.
Thanks for the tour, Annette. Biltmore has long been on my bucket list of places to visit. Until such time, I shall live vicariously through your visit to Biltmore. Your steady and thoughtful camera work is much appreciated.
Thx for this! I've always wanted to see this since I saw his brother's extravagant home in New Port, Rhode Island called the Breakers. It was smaller but more like a European castle. One of the Vanderbilt family was on the Titanic and since he was a man he sank with it. P.S. I found the music relaxing. People can be so rude hiding behind the internet. Don't listen to the haters. Lovely video!
It’s amazing to see a beautiful mansion and the way those people lived. I find it interesting. I’ve been caught up in abandoned mansions, chateaus, but they are in decay. This was a grand tour. Thank you!
What’s really amazing is the fact that it has continuously remained in the same family so it was never left to decay or had its contents pillaged. It has been maintained but never had to be restored or recreated. The tapestries and books were already antiques when Vanderbilt collected them. (Like Napoleon’s chess set)😳 So hard to even fathom!
It's been many years since I have visited but it is an amazing place. When we visited, you could walk into the area with all the plants, and many of the roped off areas were accessible then. I would love to go back in time and get to witness it all
Our visit was in the spring also and the blooming trees and shrubbery were fabulous. I really enjoyed the gift shop (barn?) where many lovely items were purchased. Thanks for your tour.
Thanks for the tour. We were there about 40 years ago. At that time they said that there was a section upstairs that was closed because a family member lived there.
Just took my first trip to the Biltmore of the weekend. What a wonderful experience. We only did the one day self-guided tour. I will definitely be going back to spend more time on the next trip.
There was a time that you could walk down into the winter Garden. I had a day trip in school early 80’s and distinctly remember it being my favorite spot! ❤ Can’t remember if it was for History or Art!
I have my grandmothers tapestry rug. It is stamped made in France. I have never seen another pattern like it. I would love too sell it too a french chateau somewhere. It is a pretty large tapestry.
That's such an amazing treasure to behold. The tapestries at the Biltmore Estate were stunning as well. I'm sure yours would look just as amazing in such a grand estate.
I visited Biltmore in 1998. We paid $28 per person for tickets. I would like to go again but the ticket prices are through the roof now and completely unaffordable for me.
Oh yes, it was over $100 for the visit pass, but we only went in the mansion once. We visited the flower garden multiple times, and there's no fee for that, so I would definitely check that out again.
In the Library the one behind the tapestry on the balcony leads to a passageway connecting to guest bedrooms. Guests could grab a book and head back to their rooms in the middle of the night. In the Billiard Room the secret door leads to the Smoking Room. Thanks for watching!
Excess is sad and pathetic. If he hadn't built such a huge and grand place they'd still be wealthy and would still own Biltmore. Frugality would have accomplished so much more than such incredible excess! Still.....fabulous, but golly......
It was a lot to see and just think, that wasn't even all of it. The family still owns it and they hope their children will want to keep it in the family and the legacy alive.
They DO STILL OWN BILTMORE. The Vanderbilt family as a whole spent all that they had when they had it. Ever heard of only burning a whole in someone’s pocket? The Vanderbilts were the epitome of that expression. Besides who are we to judge how they spent the money THEY EARNED?
From what I hear, there was a competition in the family to see who could build the biggest house. And guess, what? George won, because he “built more house”.
I understand that everyone has different music preferences, so I chose a historic, slow vibe for the background music in this video. I'd love to know your preferences for future videos! Feel free to mute the video if the music isn't to your liking and focus on the awesome content in the meantime!
It’s lovely it’s still in the family and they are sharing it with everyone. 💖
I totally agree!
My Wife and Myself enjoyed our visit there. Very thankful the family shares the historic nature of the home with us!

Wow, having the Biltmore all to yourself sounds like a dream come true! So cool that you got to take your time and really soak in the details.
Yeah, but you can't go up the servant's stairways and the third floor. Too many velvet ropes.
Thanks for the tour, Annette. Biltmore has long been on my bucket list of places to visit. Until such time, I shall live vicariously through your visit to Biltmore. Your steady and thoughtful camera work is much appreciated.
Thank you very much! We plan to visit next year to see Biltmore decorated for the holidays. I'll be sure to share.
I'm glad I didn't have to listen to your music when I visited the Biltmore
Noted.
Thank you for the tour, Annette! I have wanted to visit the Biltmore all my life, but haven’t been there yet. This was a fun glimpse in the meantime!
My pleasure. I can't wait to go back and see the Holiday decorations.

Just beautiful. Thank you so very much for posting!! ❤
You are so welcome!

You can still walk through the gardens. That's in my other video. It was very beautiful.

Oh wow! That's awesome!
Amazing attention to t he details of the house. Thank you.
Agreed. It was amazing to experience.

Awesome! It definitely deserves a return trip. I'm hoping to go back when it is decorated for the holidays.
you did a amazing job .
Thank you.
I like the music. Thanks for this relaxing tour.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

Love that!
It’s super impressive during the holidays also. Been there a few times
We plan to go back in February to see the holiday decorations. Can't wait!
Just turn off sound if you don’t like background sound.
Seems so simple right… thank you 🙃

Beautiful home!! I have been there 3 times but they didn't allow cameras or filming when I went. How did you get by with it ???
I think they may be used to it now. No one said anything and I kept it moving, so as not to aggravate anyone.
THAT BACKGROUND MUSIC IS ATROCIOUS
😬🙊
The weird music is rather distracting. I enjoyed the tour nonetheless. Thank you for sharing

Are all the flowers and plants real in the house? They are so beautiful.
Yes, the flowers 🌸 are real and just as beautiful in person.
There is also a huge and beautiful greenhouse where they grow all the plants and flowers- they rotate everything to keep it looking the best
Where do the secret doors lead to?

TURNED OFF THE SOUND. COULDN’T STAND IT ANYMORE BUT WANTED TO WATCH THE VIDEO.
Thank you for watching.

It is still privately owned by the Biltmore family
It's still owned by the family.
@@jaegerfamily2070 The family is Vanderbilt. The Estate name is Biltmore.

That ain't a "home". Shameful excess.

Why play that awful music?

When you make your video then your can choose your music.
Mute it and change the speed to 1.5x. Turn on the closed caption feature. It helped a lot.
It is slow music, I’ll give you that. But it’s dark and the lyrics are rather depressing, IMHO. ✌🏾
@@harriscashcoachMay classical for this era of house?
This music is plain awful!!!!
I've heard that before. You can mute it and still explore the beauty of the Biltmore Estate.
