How they get away with calling this Biltmore "HOUSE" is beyond me.  It's a CASTLE ... a HUGE castle. It was absolutely unbelievable. I don't understand how people actually lived like this. I didn't get photos of the inside because it wasn't allowed, but I think from just these of the grounds should give you an idea. You can also visit their website at <A HREF="http://www.biltmore.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.biltmore.com">www.biltmore.com</A>. There you can see pictures of the interior.</div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="813" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL"
