[susanimpy]

Thanks for the video-now I can convince friends to go!! It's an unbelievable place!

[wwescorpion26]

I went to the biltmore house in December 21 2010 with my school Northwest Middle School

[123seblav]

So sad how something so beautiful turns into a mall for tourist.

[ShoelaceManiac]

I'm so proud to be born in Asheville. I've visited this place at least a half dozen times At times My friends and I would reenact movie scenes from movies that has featured this Biltmore house. Hahaha, Or whenever We'd run around grandfather mountain, we'd sing out the Last of the Mahicans theme song while running around. Good times.

My wife and I visited the Biltmore in '08. Thanks for posting this - brings back nice memories.

Thank You for the tour

[coralistabeauty]

[qwisp]

Thanks for the tour! You did a great job of narrating. We just came back from actually visiting the Biltmore a few days ago and it was as beautiful as you described. Sure wish I could have taken photos of some of those amazing old room. Have you been back to the Biltmore since 07?

[CrazyQUINN84]

I live a couple hours away from this home. I visit there every now and again. Its so beautiful. =)

[Bradal4ck]

Id hate to mow that back yard

[Paricka78]

Nice video. Refreshing to hear your positive comments. We felt like part of the family. Can't wait for the wife and I to tour this estate.

[m3trooper]

It is like going to Disney World, only, I think the price of admission to Disney might even be cheaper! Yikes!

[cymbali]

I grew up in Asheville. they have some of the biggest rats you ever seen and you will love thoe winters..Its just all ilk and ..NOT !!!!

[AsTimeDilates]

Great video and excellent commentary. Thanks for posting.

[gabbster00]

yayaay

[stagelightingkid]

I want this mansion. I would let people visit for only one month after I move in. Then I would use some of there money to pay for the house lol. I want it so bad lol

[t5239857289578947594]

@stagelightingkid Sadly,I don't think alot of people could afford this mansion.Maybe people like Bill Gates could,even then.Hearst Castle is another fine example.

[pantherssamuel]

when your there it feels like your somewhere else not the u.s.

[bfwpst4ever]

i went there today...with my school

[LeahFan1]

in 2007 i went their it's an amzing house :) so awsome

[jgrab1]

This was the shooting location for the mansion in the 1979 movie Being There.

[Limeisback2012]

[KaoruTheChimpmunk]

[luvseinfeld]

Anderson Cooper is a Vanderbilt

[santhony74]

I think I was there the exact same weekend. What a great time. It is well worth it to stay at the Inn.

[EmmettRocks1999]

That place is crazy huge! I've been there. I went in 2006 or something. It's soooo pretty!!!

[coughfilmsco]

i loved my trip there! the house is truely amazing...i have a vacation home a few hours from there

[PeachRamuneXD]

Who the hell is George Vanderbilt? If I'm correct, it's CORNELIUS Vanderbilt II...

[ncbounder]

Sorry to contradict someone who is such a great historian such as you obviously are, but it was built by GEORGE Vanderbilt, the 3rd son of William Henry Vanderbilt. Cornelius was his brother. Why don't you learn to read and put it to use, you may be surprised what you learn.

[timjonesporcelain]

Thank you. I was especially insulted when he said "Who the hell is..."

[woahxitsxdanny]

I went there and it is amazing!

[cookieking3]

I'd give anything to go back there. It was incredible my first time.

[toddj8633]

George Huh? or Cornelius, but whatever

[saddiesfriend]

what do youdo is it fun in asheville

[chaosANDcopper4ever]

I love this place! I've been there sooooooooo many times! It's about 2 1/2 hjours from my house and its only 30 minutes from my old house!

[malpal17]

Ah, man I was there. That place is insane.

[mediamadman747]

Aaron Spelling's Beverly Hills mansion is for sale. I think they said it's the largest house in America, but this place looks bigger. Maybe, they meant Spelling's place is the largest house FOR SALE in America.

[AirForceDipMan]

yea biggest for sale, the Biltmooe estate is by far the largest home in america

[yamahonkawazuki]

yup the largest PRIVATE home in america

[Eagle198261]

I was there for a wedding. Very nice place.

[joiscoolio15]

i was there in july last year it was amazing! just everything in the house was beautiful. while i was walking into all the rooms i was just imagining all the servants and the kids running around the house while it was in use. i loved it soooo much!

[turpinian]

man i went there about 5-6 yrs ago. that place is incredible

[Mctaggart6412]

my cousin is head of the floral department there

[GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

Actually... the shops are housed in what Used to be the Stables for the estate. But they've done an awesome job of keeping the look and feel of the original buildings.

[Kevindavis08]

quite impressive. been standing for so long. The majority of land in Western North Carolina was owned by George.

[pcmr57]

That's wehre Hannibal was filmed too. The rich crazy guy Mason Verger lived there.

I was there in 2000. Unimaginable beauty.

[goretoye]

Great Vid!

[popupwool]

Recognized the newfie accent...Waddaya at By

[crunkinator65]

Thats where Richie Rich was filmed.

[0826jesse]

the kid whose family owns this is in my class

[Mctaggart6412]

where you go to school?

[mjellenburg]

I love the Biltmore house! My AIG class took a trip there last year. I've been twice.

[keter54]

"capper roofs"?

[timboss56]

This was a really nice video! I am thinking about doing a road trip next spring but can't decide whether to go west or East. (I live in Oklahoma) We have been to the Rockies, but I have always been curious about the Blue Ridge Parkway. Anyway, your video was very informative.. like a guided tour!

[Ellipse40FD]

Thanks, It's a wonderful interesting place to visit.

[EyeSlick]

I've been there before. Don't they own like 150,000 Acres or something near that? I loved walking through the gardens, and then there was the Winery, that was cool...

[Ellipse40FD]

Great place to visit

[tanrat7]

@EyeSlick I heard it was 9,000 acres

[boss42971]

It was 125,000 acres when he first bought the land. His wife was forced to sell most of the land when the federal government come up with property tax. Now it's 8000 acres which is still a lot of land.

[skierx161x]

lol at 4:10 she goes to take a picture and he just walks into it lol

[Ellipse40FD]

I always do that.

[meezerlover]

I believe the "trees" you kept referring too

on the "patio" are Wysteria vines...very very old ones.

[Ellipse40FD]

Thank....I forgot my botany!

[meezerlover]

Lovely estate, way to much money for their own good. Sad to see all the homeless people on the streets in front of the entrance to the Estate. Makes a sad statement to how some of us have it and others don't.

[ashnoneya]

hahaha homeless in biltmore? please..I have never ever seen homeless there...and I go by daily security is posted right at the front gates at the main road and all the way through...

[fathead8489]

Imagine being a kid playing hide and seek in that thing?

[plastabrick]

Ha ha i thought that as well. Play at night with the lights off. you and one other. Walking down a pitch black Hallway not knowing when your partner is going to jump out at you.... or even worse; bump into Mason Verger in his Wheel Chair...

[hwe0001]

"There is a morning fog over 'dere... over da mountains" lol... i was a guide here for 1 year and it made me insane. big house... crazy people wandering through it from 8am till 7pm. I love the parking attendent who says 5000 people worked on it... FAIL!

[TeefaBear11]

i went there so awesome it is huge the dining room table is 72 feet long. i went on the behind the scenes tour!

[lrhilo]

Thanks! Very Interesting

[viper9782003]

I live just 10 minutes away from this place haha...its funny watching tourists

[MignonMe]

Wonderfully historic place to visit. Luckily, I have family living in Asheville, so it's always a pleasure to visit while I'm there visiting with them. You can bring your dogs to walk there, too, did you know that? They just can't do the tour! : ) Thanks for posting!

JM : )

[girlygirlhorsegurlz]

the kids that great grandfather built it go to my school

[tgman198]

Wow! Amazing, we should definately get you a medal for that. Besides, I know of those kids and they are very prenentious stuck up kids.

[maloneiscool]

Iv lived 10 minutes from the biltmore house all my life... its pretty awesome...

[alyjonas16]

I saw it over my spring break.I love money and big homes and stuff,but this guy had way the hell too much money! Id live there,but i would seriously redo the bathrooms and put maps all over the place.lol.

[miss7777777]

George Vaaaaaaaanderbilt

[itsjoshmangan2]

imagine living there

[heckfarr]

I've been going there since I was a child.

It inspired me to be an architect.

[Ellipse40FD]

I can understand your inspiration

[heckfarr]

It obviously made an impression.

Hopefully, it will inspire others to do the same.

I've been drawing historic buildings for almost 22 years since University and everyday, it's a blast.

[062390ny]

thank you

[Beautifulmusicfan161]

I been there. HUGE it is! It's great...luv the lions at the entrance! :D

[gigglegirl08]

i saw that today!it is so big!

[boomac62]

Amazing place, I see it everyday from the road a few miles off on my way to work, unless is too foggy....

[Ellipse40FD]

take a tour, it's a wonderland

[lordofboston]

i've been there it is so awesome though when i went i felt like i needed a parka

[Ellipse40FD]

it's cool in the morning in Nov, but it warms up fast

[cupcake97]

ive been there before its so cool

[Ellipse40FD]

thanks

[Larryjoe147]

you sound very northern...are you from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Chicago,Michigan or Northern Ohio? You sound like it

[z71guy66]

sometimes he sounds northern and sometimes his words sound southern. " overdare "

[blaquestrength]

Thats definitely an Northern OH/Pennsylvania or Upper NY accent...lol

[meezerlover]

Sounds to me as if it is a Chicago accent..sounds perfectly fine to me. :-)

[Ellipse40FD]

You are correct!

[meezerlover]

The "da" and "dees" gave it away. Music to my ears....:-)

[DanielLamore]

I would love to see this house again this time with my wife.

[Werelion2367]

Man it looks fun, over 100,000 square feet

[aronthegreat]
