The Inn on Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina, USA
The only hotel on the Biltmore Estate's 8000-acres of rolling hills, manicured gardens, and working farms, this castle-like resort is paradise for outdoorsy-types, with the level of service to which the Vanderbilts treated their guests.
There's a wide variety of activities: from carriage tours and horse-riding across the estate; yoga, fly-fishing, and guided hikes; Land Rover experiences; raft trips and Segway tours; plus a host of culinary experiences throughout the year, and a concert series each summer.
