Wow, that's pretty...what is the Biltmore estate? Are they the same Biltmores as the hotel Biltmores???
Not the Biltmores at all -

The 250 room Vanderbilt mansion was built by 33-year old George Vanderbilt
and opened in 1895 featuring 34 family and guest bedrooms, 43 bathrooms,
65 fireplaces, three kitchens, bowling alley and indoor swimming pool.
The mansion was surrounded by a 100,000 acre forest, 250-acre wooded park, five pleasure gardens and 30 miles of macadamized roadways.
