When you live in Wolf Laurel resort you’ll be just a short drive from this beautiful attraction that brings approximately 1 million people to the region each year.
Built between the years of 1888 and 1895 (it took that long to complete) for George Washington Vanderbilt II, Biltmore Estate boasts a 70,000 gallon indoor swimming pool, a bowling alley, a turn of the century exercise room with antique equipment, a two story library and other anomalies for the time period
- including elevators and centrally controlled clocks. Visitors to the Biltmore Estate today get to marvel at the gorgeous architecture from the Gilded Age, which George Washington Vanderbilt II had designed to imitate the Chateau de Blois and beautiful estate manors of Europe. In fact, Vanderbilt’s Biltmore Estate was designed to be a working estate that was fully self-supported which is why it included several farms, gardens, a small village (known today as Biltmore Village) and its very own church. During Vanderbilt’s time several scientific and agricultural experiments were carried out to ensure that the estate’s self-supported status remained.
