Share Our World: Highlights of trip to Asheville, North Carolina

in Worldmappin13 days ago

If you are thinking about a trip to Asheville, North Carolina here are some great highlights!

I went with 4 of my dear friends and we rented a cute Airbnb in Asheville. We also rented a Tesla for the weekend. With 5 people we rotated who got to sit in the front cause the back seat is not made or comfortable for 3 grown women.

The house was lovely and very comfortable for the 5 of us.

Airbnb


Biltmore house

We had tickets to tour the house at 10am. Tickets for the Biltmore are quite expensive. For me, it was worth it! I want to go again! I really like historic houses and George Vanderbilt collected great art!

Here is a post with lots of pictures and info about this gorgeous house/mansion.

Biltmore Gardens

The house is a stunning 250 room mansion and it sits on 8000 acres. The gardens close to the house are wonderful. We went in April and the Azela gardens were in full bloom and the wisteria was gorgeous.

Here is a more detailed post about the gardens.


All Souls Church

Next we went to the All Souls Church which was designed by the same architect and built in 1896. It is a lovely church and has great stained glass that George commissioned when someone close to him died.

Blueridge Parkway

We took a Sunday afternoon drive along the Blueridge Parkway. It was beautiful and I am sure very stunning in the fall.

Post about the drive.

Lexington Glassworks

On Monday before we flew out we visited Lexington Glassworks in downtown Asheville. It is a gorgeous shop that blows the glass on site and visitors can watch.

I loved it!

I would like to go back to Asheville and explore more. These are the highlights from our quick weekend trip.

Blueridge Parkway looks really peaceful! As do the Biltmore Gardens. It sounds like you guys had a good balance between urban visiting and nature recharge :)
