A Great Christmas Trip


OK...so this isn't exactly a Bed & Breakfast, but it is so beautiful I just had to write about it. If you have never been to The Biltmore Estate before, you need to make plans to visit. One of the best times of the year to go there is at Christmas. There are candlelight tours from Nov. 4 - Dec. 31 which will take your breath away!


Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Biltmore Estate is an amazing work of art. Built by George Vanderbilt over 100 years ago, it has acres of gardens, and managed forests.

There is much to do as you visit the vineyards, winery, farm village; or spend some time rafting, horse back riding, shopping or just enjoying the amazing architectural wonders. You can hike or bike as you enjoy the 8,000-acres that is The Biltmore Estate. Did I mention shopping? And don't worry, if you work up an appetite there are plenty of dining
choices also; from a simple fresh-baked pastry or gormet ice cream to a full meal. There is even an Inn on the grounds.

If you can't make it in time for the Christmas tour...that's ok. No matter what time of year you visit The Biltmore Estate you are in for a special
treat. There are rose gardens, and azaleas, shrub gardens and much more. Visit The Biltmore Estate Website for a calendar of events.

Breathtaking beauty is the best way to describe the 250 rooms and 65 fireplaces that make up the Biltmore Estate. An indoor pool and bowling alley are all part of the wonderful estate. There are pricless works of arts and antiques everywhere you look. America's largest home should be a must see as you plan your next vacation.

Visit the Biltmore Estate website.

Charming Bed & Breakfasts make for a unique and enjoyable vacation experience. So forget about that same old hotel/motel, make your next vacation a Bed & Breakfast Experience.

If you are planning a trip to The Biltmore Estate or the Asheville, NC area; be sure to check out the Asheville Bed & Breakfast Association. They have a list of more than 100 B&Bs in the Asheville area. All the inns are fully inspected, licensed and insured, and
feature resident innkeepers.

Hi, my name is Kent Swanson. I work for a small bed and breakfast located in Dallas, Texas.

The owners of the bed and breakfast have developed their own reservation software and are interested in offering it to other bed and breakfast owners. They are starting to look for people to review the software and mentioned your site. Your site is a great resource for owners of small inns and we would really love it if you could test out the software and review it.

If you'd be willing to write a review of the software you can download it here:

http://www.myinnreservations.com/

We'll send you a software registration number so you can keep a copy rather than just have the trial version.

If you'd prefer not to review it, please let me know if you know of any bloggers or people in the bed and breakfast community who may be interested in receiving a free copy of the software in exchange for a brief review.

Thanks so much for your time!

Sincerely,
Kent Swanson
