I thought I'd seen some big, beautiful homes while judging this year's SIBA Parade of Homes, but, this is the biggest one I've seen yet!

When Mike and I took our vacation, we made another trip back to Asheville, NC to visit the Biltmore House.  Our first visit was almost 2 years ago during our honeymoon.  Words cannot describe the beauty of this mansion.  It was built in 1895 and it was a family home for George and Edith Vanderbilt and their daughter Corneilia.

After a tour of the home, Mike and I walked through the gardens and trails that took us to a bass pond and boat house.  Then we sampled some wine at the Biltmore Winery! If you decide to visit, give yourself a couple of days to take it all in!  It's pretty amazing. #Biltmore #Gorgeous

"Fashionable Romance" was the theme throughout the house.
