We live in Asheville and have a yearly pass, so walking on the Estate is a favorite for both of us. Too bad we cannot take a sniff around the house, but the grounds are full of enticing smells and beautiful paths.
If you’re planning on taking a nice and relaxing hike here anyway you might as well bring your pet along. Peanut loves to watch the koi at the estate, and the ducks over at Bass Pond!
When visiting with a dog, choose the parking lot that says “park and walk to estate” as dogs are not allowed on the shuttle. The Statue of Diana is a two minute walk from the A lot.
We took a walking tour of the grounds. Yes, it was very hot and the tickets were pricey. The grounds are ridiculously huge and there are hills. Because of the heat, we did not walk it all. There are plenty of shady spots to rest. Bring your own dog bowl and at least a bottle of water in case you can not get to a fresh water source.
Jimmy loves jumping like a bunny anytime he goes in a nice grass like this one! We had so much fun!

Dogs at the Biltmore Estate
Your dog will feel like American royalty while visiting the grounds at The Biltmore Estate.
Your pup will love strolling through the hundreds of manicured acres on the Biltmore Estate in Asheville. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this 8,000-acre property offers you and your furry friend over 20 miles of hiking trails and 2.5 miles of paths through manicured gardens. Relax with a glass of wine at Biltmore Winery’s Bistro or have a bite to eat at Cedric’s Tavern (named for George Vanderbilt’s Saint Bernard). Dogs must remain leashed at all times and are not allowed in any buildings. Admission fees start at $94 for adults. Children under 10 and dogs are admitted for no extra fee.
For an alternative view of the estate’s lush grounds, take a six-mile kayak tour with French Broad Outfitters. Enjoy paddling with your pooch past the 19th-century house, stables, Inn, Antler Hill Village, and winery. The kayak tour operates from April through October, and trips start at $45. Dogs float for free.
I took Liberty (Libby) to Biltmore to enjoy the pet-friendly estate grounds. We had walked quite far and most of it uphill - Libby couldn't take anymore and just needed a break!

This photo was taken when the sunflowers bloomed. Biltmore is Juniper’s favorite place. So many interesting smells, great socialization for her, and lots of great places to walk. I have a season ticket and it is so worth it.
