"The Biltmore House is among the top attractions in Asheville, and it might be one of the most recognizable private residences in the United States. Once home to the Vanderbilt family, Biltmore houses a gymnasium featuring antique equipment from the turn of the 20th century, an indoor pool, and a bowling alley in the basement. With more than 8,000 acres of grounds, including gardens, a winery, and a horse stable, there are things to see beyond the house. Ticket prices vary by day of the week and can range from $55 to $85, and admission includes a self-guided tour. Make the most of the day by dining on the property or having a picnic nearby." - MATADOR_NETWORK
