84 years ago the Cecils opened the Biltmore Estate to the public for the first time (March 15, 1930). The city of Asheville, requested it (probably gave them a huge tax break) and hoped to revitalize the Depression-era economy with tourism and to generate funds to maintain the estate. Cloud 9 – Vacation Cabin & Rentals is 10.77 miles away and the reason so many guests stay here. Is a visit on your bucket list?
