Erik and I went there this past November for our anniversary. He had been there like 2-3 times before. It was beautiful. Our tickets were part of the lodge package we bought so they weren't $60. I think AAA has tickets for less as well, just make sure you get a reservation or you will be waiting ALL day to tour. We got to the estate at 11am, didn't tour until 3pm because we didn't have reservations.

There are duplicates because Erik was bracketing some shots - most of them.

Thanks Racedoll! Loved the pics.

Was that a little cabin you stayed at? It looks awesome!

I've been there, through it, under it and in the attic. It cost a lot of money for the tour(s) and it was worth every penny. Plan on all day and comfortable shoes...
If you don't have a curiosity and interest, it probably isn't worth the cost and the walking. I do and it was. I went there 13 years ago and wouldn't mind seeing it again.

my 2cents..

We stayed in Lake Lure about 30 minutes or so from Biltmore at Grafton Lodge - http://www.graftonlodge.com/

Lol, getting 15 guys just to go there with you is going to be impossible. Most men just dont care for that shit. If you were half and half, you'd have a chance. But 15 guys and you, your outnumbered!
