I have not only been to the Biltmore, but I worked there for almost two years. I love it there. The family is so down to earth, attentive to detail, and always consider if their visions for the estate are aligned with their ancestors original plans. There is so much to see and do! It’s like walking into luxurious history.
My first visit to the Biltmore was as a child in 1962. Back then, only two floors were open to the public. You parked right in front of the house. I have been back many more times over the years. Great place.
We went to the biltmore estate last August. We loved it, we spent 2 days exploring the house and the village. We loved everything about it, and our goal is to go back during Christmas and stay at the inn. We loved the biltmore and plan on coming back. The staff and guides were super nice, helpful, and kind.
The Biltmore at Christmas is absolutely gorgeous! You should try to see it decorated. I’ve been twice. I took my mother before she passed away when it was decorated for Christmas and she was overwhelmed with the splendor of it. So happy I could do that for her. A lovely memory! ❤
@TooStinkinFine that is awesome, I'm so happy you got to do that with your mom. We want to go at Christmas, I've seen pics of it decorated and it looks amazing. However, I'm sure in person, is a 1000 times better.
Very interesting! I'm obsessed with Biltmore and go a couple of times per year, every year for 25 years, and I learned a few things I didn't know in this video. I love this home and the story of the family. I love the legacy they children are preserving. Love it, love it! This is such intriguing history.
I absolutely loved this one. I've been to the Biltmore and it's exquisite. It's always impressed me how the family has taken care of their legacy while growing and planning for the future. Thanks for highlighting what they do.
Yes, several times. I would love to go back. It's a beautiful and historic place. Everything about Biltmore is wonderful. On my next visit, I would love to stay at the Biltmore accommodations. When my daughter was in middle school, we had the opportunity to visit Biltmore during the Christmas season as her church youth choir was invited to perform in the Biltmore house. It was an amazing experience.
I've been to four of the Vanderbilt homes, two in Newport, one near Hyde Park on the Hudson River, and the Biltmore. All of them were ostentatious monuments to unimaginable wealth. But Biltmore is the only one I really thought could actually be a home. And the surrounding countryside looks like it could have doubled for some fantasy world of elves and hobbits.
This episode was very informative. I've been about 70 times starting when I was 7. A point that wasn't discussed was the negative reaction many historical house museums had to the commercialization the Cecil's promoted. The efforts were proven right and now are copied at many historical houses. Good job Cecils.
Just came back from Biltmore just a few days ago for my 52nd birthday! I first visited 2 years ago when I turned 50. It was memorable! It is wonderful place to see and visit. I have been back to the estate close to a half dozen times in the last 2 years. I absolutely love Biltmore! My Dad and mom visited years ago. My mama told me all about ! I had wanted to visit for years and so me and a friend went to Ashville and the rest is history as they say. If you haven't been.....Go and see and see Biltmore! It's worth the visit! ❤
Biltmore in the Spring is a wonderful time to go. As you drive a few miles to the House, I noticed the Dogwood trees, the Azalia bushes and flowers are in bloom. It is beautiful! Mr. Olmstead did a wonderful job with the landscaping. I am sure his patterns have been replaced exactly how he had them planted. It is indeed an American treasure.
The biltmore is one of my favorite destinations. I have been there only once , but I fell in love with it immediately. I hope to go back during the holidays soon.
We went at Christmas 2013 it was absolutely grand. The tour I will never forget it. We had Christmas dinner on the grounds. I highly recommend a visit. ❤
Visited 3 times, once at Christmas, spring and summer enjoyed each visit. Enjoyed the pub, shopping, wine tasting and restaurant. It is beautiful and a wonderful time spent. We enjoyed downtown Asheville very much,also.
I just visited the Biltmore in Asheville 2 weeks ago. It was stunning. The tour was excellent and very interesting. You can't beat the view of the hills and countryside either!
Yes we have been and it is amazing! We went around Thanksgiving and they were already decorated for Christmas. Our suggestion is go very early in the morning or late in the evening. Much less crowded then.
I'd love to go to the Biltmore, but I'm afraid it's a little out of my budget! It has always fascinated me! I love American history, mostly about the people who made it the wonderful country it once was and I'm hoping it can be again😊❤!
I have just discovered your chanel and I'm loving the well researched and beautifully presented stories. Thank you. And now a request, have you covered the rothschilds? If so can you provide ne with the link?
Well, I'm related to the Vanderbilts and the Cecils, so I'm lucky in that way, I suppose. I'd like to go visit Biltmore, stay there and catch up with family😊😊
If you haven't been persuaded by the unanimously complimentary comments so far and the Biltmore website is just not enough; why not settle down on the sofa with the Richie Rich Macaulay Culkin movie set there‽
I hope I'm not wrong about the last Vanderbilt's heirs. The Biltmore definitely belonged to the daughter of the direct George Vanderblilt but married twice to an English then Cecil. The sons nowadays have no connection or DNA with Vanderbilt as they were born from a different father. I hope I'm not confused. However, I'm glad they preserve and restore the history and the family largest estate to open to public. Too bad this is the last Vanderbilts legacy that stands. I wish they had preserve the others that spread out on the east coast. There's no such architect and artistic handcraft left in the U.S.
You are confused - John Cecil was Cornelia’s first husband and the father of her two sons. After their divorce she left Biltmore and never returned. She married two more times and is buried in England. Her sone, George and William are direct descendants of George Vanderbilt.
@@sdaisy1001 Thx for clarifying the many descendants. I wish the Vanderbilts keep their mansions. Cottages like castles to run B&B, hotels, museums or anything, better than being demolished. So much gold inside, elegant artwork, craftmanship that we can't find in the U.S. these days. So sad....that's America, who has no taste of classic architecture. In Europe, it's not allowed to remodel the exterior, even if they have to upgrade the interior.

I love the Jackie Kennedy Connection it simply amazed me how so many old money families are connected
That’s because they only want to associate with people who have money and connections.

Yes have been twice and hope to go again during holidays. Saying Magnificent place doesn't do it justice.❤️
Had a wonderful and fascinating visit to Biltmore. Well worth the price of admission. I recommend the self guided tour with headphones.

Biltmore is only an hour drive from me. So, yes. Several times.❤
Always interesting to learn from history. I am in no way related to the Vanderbilts but enjoyed watching this episode. 😊😊 X
Beautiful, and The Inn is wonderful to stay at❤
Yes we have been and it is amazing! We went around Thanksgiving and they were already decorated for Christmas. Our suggestion is go very early in the morning or late in the evening. Much less crowded then.
We’ve been several times and absolutely love it.
We’ve driven by on our way to Charleston, SC many times. We always say “next time we will stop”.
Yes, very beautiful and gorgeous place
Thank you OML, that was well done as always...
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been several times it is right down the road a piece from me..

How The Rothschilds Went From “New Money” To "Old Money"

I love the narration (a.i?) I also enjoy the old money values series
I have been there. Loved it. Wine is great as well. :-)
Well, I'm related to the Vanderbilts and the Cecils, so I'm lucky in that way, I suppose. I'd like to go visit Biltmore, stay there and catch up with family😊😊

I’ve to the Biltmore Estate with a group of Women CEO’s. We had a great time.
Its good
hi
Very interesting!
Wait I thought the Biltmore was donated to the state of North Carolina ?
I have been there beautiful

Es why not
This one seemed more like an advertisement for the Biltmore than a history program … felt weird

The sons nowadays have no connection or DNA with Vanderbilt as they were born from a different father. I hope I'm not confused.

Vote Kamala and the Democrats out of office
To bad Gloria’s son turned out to be such a creep. Gets paid to lie on TV. He couldn’t build crap and probably only has that job because of who he is
