The house at the Biltmore estate in Asheville, N.C.

Each winter, Biltmore Estate gets dressed up for Christmas.

The Summer Evening Concerts on the lawn of Biltmore Estate is a popular annual event.

Asheville has more to offer than the Vanderbilts' country cottage. Here the city skyline is framed by the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Grove Park Inn is a high-end hotel with a restaurant, spa and a magnificent view of Asheville sunsets.

Guests can enjoy natural sunlight through skylights in the roof of one of the indoor pools at the Grove Park Inn Spa and Resort.

Asheville is beautiful year-round, with winding roads, mountain scenery, and, in the fall, spectacular foliage.

A refurbished soda fountain is part of the Woolworth Walk, a former dime store that is now a downtown gallery space.

The work of 900 artists, members of the Southern Highland Craft Guild, is featured at the Folk Art Center outside Asheville.

Allanstand Craft Shop, in the Southern Highland Craft Guild's Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway, is the oldest crafts shop in the nation.

Wedge Brewery (pictured, assistant brewer Dave Misson) in Asheville's River Arts District shows the growing microbrewery scene in the city.

Outdoor art festivals are popular in Asheville. Seen here is the Village Art and Craft Fair in 2007.
