I have always wanted to do the night time Biltmore tour during Christmas; starts November 6th and is a bit pricy. Weekday prices $69 and weekend $79.
A 2 night weekend package at participating hotels would run close to $400. Don't even ask what it would cost to stay on the estate!:eek:

I've wanted to go at Christmas too. I've been in the summer before and it was very pretty. I'm sure that the Christmas season is extremely expensive. I stayed at a Hampton Inn when I went that was a few miles from the Biltmore because I couldnt believe how expensive it was to stay at the Inn. :eek: If you go up there, take lots of pics! :)

Not sure they will allow cameras inside during the candlelight tour. Camera flashes would ruin the whole thing. I have been their before during the day; it should be on everyone's "must visit" list. Too bad Pisgah Inn closes for the season 5 days before Biltmore opens for the night time Christmas tour. Now that would make a great meet; ride the BRPky, 2 nights at the inn, and Biltmore at Christmas.
I've been at christmas time. A tad disappointing, they only had like 12 trees per room. I expected more ;):D

Yeah, but some of the rooms are measured in acres!!;) Ever wonder how they put logs into those two huge dining room fireplaces? Maybe they had fork lifts in those days?:rolleyes:

Here are a few views from our room balcony at Pisgah Inn at 5,000 ft elevation. Sunrise is always spectacular!!:) About 45 minutes to the Biltmore on the BRPky. Problem is, the inn closes on November 1st every year. Not as great a drive ias the Dragon, but the added scenery is more than worth it!!:)
