So much more to experience than the house! We love strolling around Antler Village, eating at Cedric's Tavern, doing a wine tasting, or experiencing the many special exhibits The Biltmore offers year-round. A visit to this area wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Biltmore!

Amazing place for sunset that's a short drive away! We recommend packing chairs or a blanket, a picnic dinner or snacks, and arriving at least an hour before sunset.

Right off the road about 30 minutes south with super easy access, this is a great place to take in the views. The rock itself is enormous (and covered in graffiti). Bring a blanket or soft cushion if you plan to sit for awhile.

We highly recommend a trip to Graveyard Fields! About an hour from the tiny house (though we recommend the more scenic route which is 1h 15 m), Graveyard Fields has some of the most incredible views and a great hiking loop trail that can be as easy or hard as you want! We love this adventure, especially in the fall!
