Have you ever heard of The Biltmore? It’s the largest privately-owned home in the United States.

My husband discovered it through a friend and surprised me with a trip there in 2017 for my birthday. We loved it so much that we went back the next year and since then we decided it will always be an annual trek for us and we are even going to plan two trips there next year.

I quickly realized after our first trip that this was a place we go to recharge and relax, it is one of my many happy places. There is just something about the Biltmore that gives me the sense that I can slow down, take it all in and just enjoy where I’m at and the person I’m with (My Hubby). There is so much more to it though, as the history of the place holds so much wonder and beauty. Going to the Biltmore is being able to be pampered and feel like you don’t have a care in the world.

One of my all-time favorite parts of the house to no surprise will be the library. I could live happily in that room alone. When they decorate it for Christmas it is quite the sight to see. Inside the house, there are over 50 different trees on display and then the decorations throughout the property are no less amazing. There are so many activities to do on the estate that there is no way to be bored. They even have their own winery.

Even though I have a few Happy places this is one of the ones at the top of my list. What are some of your happy places?
