Heading to the Biltmore - Asheville, NC

Went a couple of years ago after they had the Christmas stuff up. Stayed at Mama Gerties but would not stay there again. Too steep inside the place.

We were just there in October. We stayed just outside of Asheville and toured The Biltmore for two days. What a fabulous home/mansion. You won't believe the engineering in that place. Tour the old hot-houses and gardens. Take the walk down to the "boat house". Take the time to eat at the old stable and enjoy yourself !! We stayed at Mama Gerties which was a fabulous place way up on the side of a mountain. Take a car if possible!

Biltmore is awesome. We were in Asheville this past weekend and stayed at the Ashville KOA West. Nice campground. A little noisy due to it's proximity to I-40. Take the car or rent a car. I had a lot of fun trying to park the crew cab dually in downtown. If you are looking for good food we really enjoyed Sid's on Main in Canton which is about 15 miles west of Asheville.

We stayed at Bear Creek last year. Nice place . Enterprise delivered a car at a good rate. Sloop is right about the Grove Park Inn.

You could look into renting a car for a day. The Biltmore is very close to Asheville and I agree driving a motorhome on their entry road would be daunting. Plan on a long day and check out Asheville. Cocktails at the Grove Park Inn is a must.

You could also try Camp Fire Lodging has great views (Premium spot) if you can get one. I stayed there last year and a rental car company delivered and picked up.

Bear Creek is a good campground not very far from Biltmore. Mostly back-in spots. Beautiful couintry!

Aaron, you are going to be blown away by the Biltmore Estate. There are so many tours to pick from and you can't do them all in one day. One of my favorite tours is the 'behind the scenes tour' where they take you into the 3 levels of basements showing you the inner workings of the house systems (from 1895). You probably will have just enough time for the regular house tour that offers audio. You will definitely want to return to see the other tours in the future. Also, if it's your first visit, starting with the regular house tour is the way to go to see the basic setting and architecture.

We were just there this summer and I would not want to take the motorhome to the Biltmore. They have low tree branches as it's a very wooded area. They also had a bridge go out so the passing was very narrow but it's probably fixed by now. I would take a car as downtown Asheville is neat to see (very Bohemian).

Have fun,
MM.

Be prepared for possible sub-freezing temps. Heaters or lights in underside cabinets and heat inside the coach. On Wednesday, Blowing Rock was 21! Should warm up some by Friday...

Good luck Mate!
I'd take the car.
