Take a Holiday Home Tour of Biltmore House

Decorated with more than 45,000 white twinkling lights, this 55-foot-tall Norway spruce welcomes visitors to America's largest home.

Smaller evergreens and deciduous trees surround the massive spruce. In total, more than 50 decorated trees dot the grounds of the estate.

Modeled after a French chateau, Biltmore House's facade features gargoyles, grotesques and other fanciful details that are signature of the style. This stone lion, standing sentinel near the home's massive front doors, is decorated with just one of the 360 fresh white pine and Fraser fir holiday wreaths.

Draped with fresh white pine and Fraser fir garlands, miles of ribbon and twinkling lights, the Entry Hall is just as impressive for today's guests as it was for visitors more than a century ago.
