About Me

Be ready to be amazed at the Biltmore Estate
Be ready to be amazed at the Biltmore Estate

Discover the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains—just as George Vanderbilt envisioned. Beginning in 1865, Vanderbilt’s dream became the magnificent Biltmore Estate, nestled in the mountains near Asheville, North Carolina.

The estate’s defining feature is its 250-room French Renaissance château, the largest privately owned home in the United States. Touring this architectural masterpiece is unforgettable, and even more magical during Candlelight Christmas, when every room glows with seasonal décor. With displays that have featured everything from Downton Abbey to Tutankhamun, the Biltmore continually offers something new to experience.

Stay in the heart of it all at The Inn at Biltmore Estate, a four-star resort known for refined dining, sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain views, and exceptional service. Southern Living ranked it the #2 Best Resort in the South for 2025. Guests staying at the Inn also enjoy a fantastic perk, unlimited visits to the Biltmore Estate during their stay.

Beyond the estate, you’ll find plenty to enjoy: charming shops, inviting restaurants, and the renowned Antler Hill Village & Winery, perfect for an afternoon tasting.Just a short drive away, another iconic property awaits, The Grove Park Inn. Enjoy an unforgettable sunset dinner on the terrace while taking in panoramic mountain views.

While in Asheville, immerse yourself in the River Arts District, where restored industrial buildings now house dozens of galleries and working studios. Watch artists create glasswork, pottery, paintings, and metal art. Or take a hands-on class and bring home your own masterpiece. Winter brings even more adventure in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Families will love the Tweetsie Railroad Christmas Train, a vintage steam locomotive offering open-air holiday rides complete with carolers, Santa photos, and fireside s’mores.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy kayaking, tubing, rock climbing, and hiking—including wheelchair-accessible trails. When the snow arrives, the region’s ski slopes offer fun for all levels.With so much to explore in this beautiful region, let me help you plan your perfect Blue Ridge Mountain escape.

The All Inclusive Vacation was wonderful.
Reviewed By Fun in the sun - Brentwood, Tennessee | Traveled to Los Cabos | Baja California Sur | Mexico
Jo Ann helped my husband and I book a stay at Paradisus in Los Cabos at an adults only all inclusive resort. Our main goal was to golf and relax by the pool afterwards. The dining was excellent. She listened to my wishlist and gave us the best vacation and we will reach out to her the next time we travel. Liv D

The views of St. Lucia are the best!
Reviewed By Sunny Skies - Franklin, Tennessee | Traveled to Saint Lucia | St. Kitts and Nevis | Caribbean
We worked with Jo Ann to find a beach spot in the Caribbean that we had never visited before. Jo Ann picked just the right spot for us at Jade Mountain Resort in St. Lucia. The resort was breathtaking and accommodated all our needs. We consider ourselves foodies and the dining here was amazing, especially during sunset when there was such a amazing view. We can’t wait to go back to this resort and will contact her for the next stunning vacation. Michelle T

Best family vacation ever!
Reviewed By Peters Family - Nashville, Tennessee | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
We had a family vacation before school started back and were undecided where to go. We reached out to Jo Ann and she suggested Nickelodeon Hotels in Punta Cana in the Caribbean. She made sure our travel itinerary went smoothly, as we had several young children. The kids loved everything about it, we had had access to the waterpark, a lot of fun activities for the kids and especially meeting the characters. Lydia P

Nashville rocks!
Reviewed By Mom of Many Runners - Fort Wayne, Indiana | Traveled to Nashville | Tennessee | USA
We visited Nashville recently to cheer on my daughter in the Rock and Roll Marathon and let Jo Ann book our trip. She suggested a few tourist spots while we were there, we saw a concert and visited a few attractions, and took a boat ride on the river. We had a great time and the suggestions she made allowed us to take the worry out of planning and have a fun trip.

Celebrating our anniversary in the Dominican Republic
Reviewed By Tammy S - Winter Park, Florida | Traveled to Dominican Republic | Caribbean
My husband and I were interested in visiting the Caribbean for our anniversary. Jo Ann suggested Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa, an adults only resort that was All-Inclusive. We were extremely happy with the resort along the way, and they took care of all our needs. We relaxed and ate plenty of good food and soaked up the sunshine. We had a wonderful time while we were there. We would recommend this resort and her to anyone!
