    What an absolutely beautiful video, I watched some of it at 3/4 speed to take in more of the details and views. This video had me fondly remembering a recent visit my wife and I made with good friends to the Biltmore. It’s clear to see Michelle was moved by the experience, I’m so happy for you both, you should do a Traveling to the Grand Hotel in Michigan.

The Biltmore was truly breathtaking and we would love to visit during the holidays. Hope you are doing well and have a great rest of the week

Many locals were actually hired as extras. Also, Jonathan Frakes from Star Trek and The Walton's is the tour guide of the Biltmore in the movie.

    I have been to many stately and historical homes in the UK, and Biltmore is just a lovely and wonderful as they are. When I have visited such places, I can instantly judge on the vibe of it, meaning if it is a place I would feel right at home in or too cold in taste and style. While I have never visited Biltmore (I hope to do so one day, especially at Christmas), it feels to me like a beautiful family home that I would be honored to live in, especially that library, which I would never leave. I am so happy you had a great time and look forward to the next part of your adventures. Take good care of yourselves and enjoy your day!

    The gardens at some of the homes are absolutely gorgeous, one near me has wild deer reserve, and the home is very similar to the home you visited. ( Petworth Park )

    Thank you so much for sharing your tour of the Biltmore Estate. It is on my bucket list to visit one day. I am a fan of architect Richard Morris Hunt, who designed so many wealthy homes in New York and Rhode Island. The Châteauesque design of the home was a bit of a departure for Hunt and he took inspiration from French Renaissance châteaux. The home & gardens are just magnificent. Again, thank you so much for visiting & sharing. 🙏
    PS I think you missed an opportunity to use lovely classical music from French composers for your background music. 😊
