Most people think of Biltmore House when they think of Biltmore Estate, but the gardens are magnificent and well worth spending some time exploring. Acres and acres of gardens, including formal gardens, park-like gardens spaces, and a beautiful azalea garden are all part of the grounds.
A lot of our guests love visiting Biltmore Estate in Asheville when they stay with us at the Inn on Mill Creek B&B. The entrance to Biltmore is about 20 minutes away, and we have tickets here at the Inn for your convenience (discounted and good for two days!).We always recommend touring the gardens in the morning or the late afternoon if you go in spring or summertime, as afternoon temperatures can be a little on the warm side in the sun-drenched gardens. The Biltmore gardens are open until dusk, so you have plenty of time to stroll.We always recommend touring the gardens in the morning or the late afternoon if you go in spring or summertime, as afternoon temperatures can be a little on the warm side in the sun-drenched gardens.

Here are a few photos we took on a visit to Biltmore on May 12, around 5:30pm.We mostly stayed in the Walled Garden, just below Biltmore House, between the house and the two-story Conservatory.
