Secondly, our 4 night stay was delightful. Breakfast was always hearty and delicious, and I loved the cookies every evening when we returned. Of course the rooms were clean and cozy too. My favorite part was the covered porch! We made lots of great use of their porch with a chess game, reading, and just enjoying the view. I should also mention that the house is very close to downtown and the Biltmore. Thank you for a great stay!

Pretty dog friendly, although mine is a service animal. Staff were all friendly with a warm southern welcome. Our room on the club level had access to their snacks and breakfast with drink options. The room itself came with a hugeee tub that I took advantage. However the room itself was a bit dated, and the sheets were horrible. Would stay again and try more of their amenity and the activities offered.

I want to start by clarifying that I have not personally stayed at the Omni Grove Park Inn, but I…read morerecently sent a gift to a loved one who was staying there and was very disappointed with how the hotel handled it. She was celebrating her birthday with friends, and since I couldn't join the trip, I arranged to have a gift basket from a local company waiting in her room as a special surprise when she arrived. About 10 days before her stay, I spoke with Guest Services by phone and followed up via email, providing the guest's information, expected delivery date, and all other pertinent details. I was told a note had been placed on the reservation specifically requesting that the basket be delivered to her room for her arrival. Unfortunately, that never happened. After she had been there for a few days without mentioning the gift, I became concerned and called the hotel. They discovered that the basket was still sitting in the shipping department. It was eventually delivered to her room on the second-to-last day of her trip, but by then the entire point of having it there as a special birthday welcome had been lost. The young man who helped me track it down was pleasant and apologetic, which I appreciated. Still, this was frustrating and disappointing. Sending gifts and packages to hotel guests is hardly unusual, and I had gone out of my way well in advance to make sure the hotel had everything needed to handle it correctly. I expected better attention to detail from a four-star hotel. While I can't speak to the experience of actually staying here, this experience would absolutely factor into whether I chose to stay at the Grove Park Inn myself in the future.

Included in your Biltmore mansion and garden ticket is a 5 sample wine tasting at the winery…read more Unless you have your own car, you will need to pay $15 to ride the Biltmore Connect to the winery from the mansion since you are not allowed to walk the 5 miles along the road. It took me a bit to find the entrance to the wine tasting entrance but once you do, you go down a long corridor with lights and signs explaining the wine making process. Luckily, I was the only person walking down the corridor since it was such a selfie-Instagram-TikTok attraction, and I can see it taking a long time to get to the winery if you had to wait for other people to get their pictures. I did get mine. 8-) There was no line when I arrived at the Antler Hill Winery, although a friend told me the line was so long when they visited that they didn't bother waiting in line. The wines were surprisingly good and reasonably priced, starting around $25 a bottle. I had just been to Napa Valley in California, and I noticed more citrus and pineapple flavors in some of the Biltmore whites. I especially liked the Reserve Chardonnay, Grenache Blanc, Gewürztraminer, which had a lychee flavor, Reserve Rosé, and Lumière red wine. I bought three bottles, and they gave me a nice bag with separate slots for the wine. Unfortunately, three bottles of wine are still three bottles of wine, and that bag was heavy. Tip: Do your other shopping, and the animal farm if you have kids, before buying your wine. Tip: Also, I tried to get an Uber twice from the winery, but after waiting half an hour and not finding a driver who was willing to pick me up among the ones sitting outside Biltmore, I walked to the hotel and was able to quickly get an Uber.

There are a lot of different options for dining if you are at Biltmore for the day, or even if you are staying on property at one of the Biltmore lodging options.

This was all pretty new to me and our instructor Ricky did an excellent job explaining everything, teaching about safety, and I even hit the clays several times. I was nervous that I couldn't hit anything but with the instruction, I did a decent job, even hitting the target twice in a row.

The historical aspect of this hotel is amazing and it's decorations are part of the charm. We had hot weather and the air conditioning cooled the room adequately. The dampness however didn't go away.

It's so nice to see this area recovering. I think it will be a while for business to pick back up and they may need to do some creative marketing to reignite the spark.
