Stay in the Biltmore Condos anytime from now until May 17 to take advantage of a great Biltmore package, valued at $130, for just $8 above the regular rate for 2 nights at the Condos.



For $8 extra dollars on the 2 night rate, guests receive:
--2 tickets to Biltmore's Festival of Flowers valid for 2 consecutive days. (Regular priced Festival tickets are $45-49, and are only valid for one day.)
--A $40 gift certificate to the Corner Kitchen.

To read more about the Biltmore Luxury Condos, see this post from Feb 24.

Biltmore Festival Package Description:
Enjoy the best the Biltmore area has to offer - relax in luxury at your Biltmore Condo, enjoy great, homestyle food at Biltmore Village's Corner Kitchen, and enjoy Biltmore Estate's Festival of Flowers at two days for the price of one!

Start your morning with a delicious, hot breakfast one short block from your condo. Featured in Southern Living magazine, Corner Kitchen in Biltmore Village is recommended by locals and visitors alike. After breakfast, travel across the street to the Biltmore Estate entrance to see over 90,000 blooming tulips at the Festival of Flowers.

To read more about the Biltmore Estate's Festival of Flowers, see this post from Mar 26.

Tip: As I wrote in the Biltmore Festival of Flowers post, the 2 day tickets to Biltmore Estate are awesome. Use your tickets to spend one morning or afternoon on the house tour, and the next half-day around the gardens. This way you'll still have the energy to experience at least some of the other wonderful activities and sights Asheville and WNC has to offer!

More Asheville Restaurants

Sometimes the venture into downtown Asheville for lunch or dinner can be overwhelming - finding parking, paying for parking, walking in search of where you're going, long waits once you get to the restaurant. After a long day of driving or hiking or other adventures you may not want to experience the extra hassle, especially if you've planned another day to 'do' downtown. Several restaurants in Asheville are located outside of downtown, take reservations or have shorter lines, and are just as tasty...

Marco's Pizza
Two locations in North & South Asheville.

Great Italian family restaurant straight from NYC - awesome pizza but plenty of salads, sandwiches and entrees to please everyone's taste buds and rumbling stomachs. The most popular pizza place in Asheville with locals, but lots of seating so there's hardly ever much of a wait.


Urban Burrito

Four locations each side of Asheville

Huge, tasty, customizable meals - burritos, tacos, quesadillas, salads, chili... the list goes on. Inexpensive, filling, and GOOD. Great lunch fare, or good for a quick dinner.


Pomodoros
Located in East Asheville.

Another great Italian and Greek family restaurant, but pricer than Marcos (jeans and tees are still welcome, but the atmosphere, dishes, and prices are a little more upscale). Best for dinner, and a regular spot for locals so expect a longer wait for dinner. Insider tip: they take reservations, sometimes even as close as an hour before your planned arrival!


Corner Kitchen
Located in Biltmore Village.

Possibly the best Sunday brunch I've found in Asheville (and I've cultivated a critical taste for brunch!). They also serve breakfast & lunch (entrees under $11) and dinner fare (entrees $18-25). Really popular with locals and visitors, so expect a pretty significant wait during peak eating times. Another insider tip: they also take reservations and will accept them fairly close to arrival!
