Set within Antler Hill Village at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, Antler Hill Barn is a private event venue with deep agricultural roots. Designed in 1900 by Biltmore House architect Richard Morris Hunt, the barn once served as the hub of the estate's farming operations, stabling workhorses and mules, storing feed and equipment, and housing a blacksmith's forge and repair shop within a landscape of dairy, market garden, sheep, poultry, and pigs. Today the thoughtfully preserved barn hosts weddings and private celebrations, its rustic farm architecture lending a casually elegant character. Nestled beneath a forested hillside and overlooking pastoral fields and the French Broad River, it offers a bucolic setting near the estate's Winery and The Inn on Biltmore Estate. Wedding packages bring together an open bar, a seated or stations dinner, a custom wedding cake, and a two-night stay at The Inn, making the barn a fitting choice for couples seeking a relaxed country affair on the Vanderbilt estate.
