TROPICAL STORM HELENE UPDATES AS OF OCTOBER 3: We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of concern for our region as communities face the aftermath of this storm. We appreciate your support for the many needs across the region and have shared resources on our website for how you can help. While our focus remains on our employees and communities affected, we have received countless questions regarding the condition of Biltmore. We are still assessing impacts to the estate from Tropical Storm Helene and that will take some time. Like all of this region, the damage varies by location across our 8,000-acre property. In forested areas, which is a large portion of the estate, wind damage is extensive to grounds and some structures. Crews have been working tirelessly to clear roads so we can begin repairs. The entrance to Biltmore, located in Biltmore Village, and other low-lying areas of the property, such as our farm, experienced significant flooding and damage to buildings. We are assessing structures and roadways in these areas. Biltmore House, Conservatory, winery, gardens, and our hotels received minimal or no damage from the storm. We sadly lost a few of our animals during the storm, but the vast majority are safe and accounted for thanks to our dedicated agriculture and equestrian teams. As with all of our neighbors who experienced the effects of Helene, we are working on our plans for a swift recovery and look forward to welcoming our guests to this region as soon as it is safe to do so. We appreciate your patience as we work to repair our internal technology network and communication systems.
