I loved this place. There are very interesting museums located at this village. You can enjoy here an awesome collection of old cars for free. Also can enjoy the work of many good local artists and buy their work. The nature that surround this museums is very beautiful too. I recommend this place as a good Sunday destination with family or friends.

Im not sure why previous reviews were mixed. The auto museum is stunning, even if cars arent your thing. Next is the gift shop which is massive and so inspirational. The artist studios were closed. All the staff I encountered were so friendly and really wanting to help with information. Oh yeah and theres a cool little museum about textiles where you definitely start. The sculpture gardens are so cute and relaxing. Driving up to the village is also a treat. The homes are beautiful and well landscaped, each super unique.

Local craftsmanship and worth visiting for the exquisite array of furnishings, wind devices, jewelry, clothing and a few antiques. The antique car museum is also a must see! Check out the old firetruck and other vintage vehicles from the 20s through the 50s. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours and have lunch at the café.

This is a little shopping area at the Grove Park Inn. We didnt realize they had a small classic car museum! They had about a dozen classics in relatively good shape. Great information on all the vehicles. No charge to visit but they do have a donation box so be sure to drop in a few $$ to help keep this place open!

This museum is filled with so many beautiful cars. And the history was something that I can not even put words to. For those that have never been here it is definitely something to see. It is located behind the Omni Grove Park Inn. It is in fact all one place, its confusing for anyone who hasnt ever been. Just park and take a long beautiful walk!

Known today as Grovewood Village, this historic site once housed the weaving and woodworking operations of Biltmore Industries, a noteworthy enterprise in the history of American Craft and textiles, founded by Edith Vanderbilt and two inspired teachers, Eleanor Vance and Charlotte Yale. Our 11-acre property, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is home to Grovewood Gallery, working artist studios, a sculpture garden, Golden Fleece restaurant, the Biltmore Industries Homespun Museum, and Ashevilles only antique car museum.

A step back in time visiting the Car Museum. Loved it and friendly staff. The artistry in the village is creative and inspiring. A great history lesson on the early beginnings of Asheville money.

O my goodness! It was amazing! The whole village had anything that you would want to do or need. A very upscale restaurant, a yoga studio, museums. This place is dated back in time, but brought up to date. It is absolutely beautiful!! The Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC is A MUST SEE! Its a gorgeous hotel and restaurant!

Parts were closed, but the sculptures were nice to see. I enjoyed some of the art inside for sale, but didnt want to spend too much. If staying at the Grove Park Inn, Id walk right on down and have a look around.

All in all a great place to visit. Went for the antique car museum, the homespun museum, and the gallery. Was not disappointed at what was offered. This place is full of history and it’s great to see a piece of history being preserved so well. The location is very good for us as we’re only doing a quick visit in Asheville. It’s not far from downtown, and parking and admission is free.

This is a fun little outing! Come see a collection of old cars and if you come during one of their special events you can check out what the local artists were making!They also have a shop with handmade home goods, jewelry, furniture, and other cool items.

Enjoyed the car museum. Mostly 50s or older vehicles. The small textile museum is interesting too. The connected gallery has a wide selection of artistic products from local artisans. Be sure to visit the second floor of the gallery shop which display for sale some unique and fantastic furniture showing some great craftmanship and style.

This is a neat little get away place that is hidden by the crowds and the Grove Park Inn. It is actually next to the Grove Park Inn, but on separate land. There is an art gallery, two free museums (antique car museum and Edith Vanderbilts Biltmore Industries, which is who built the quaint buildings) and a restaurant.(the Golden Fleece) Parking is free. The lawn has artwork and places to sit and a great view. A hidden gem.

We really enjoyed our time here. The car museum was well done with some interesting cars. The mill museum had some nice examples of Roycroft furniture and other artifacts from the original mill. The gallery was amazing. Lots of awesome hand made furniture and such. Believe it or not our entire family enjoyed it.

Beautiful spot to stop and shop for fine crafts, grab a bite to eat and a greek-inspired restaurant, visit an antique car museum, or just stroll the sculpture gardens. Be sure to take the free tour of Biltmore Industries, which once made the finest cloth in the US, if youre there mid-day (Wed-Sat).

Lots of old cars with detailed descriptions to learn about them and their history. They are very well taken care of and look great. The worker there was very friendly.

Review №66

Excellent Arts and Crafts, some of the finest wood furniture I have ever seen. The Textile Museum was small but full of information and history. The Car Museum really fascinating. Some cars I had never heard of and very informative history plaques with each vehicle. An Absolute must see for anyone visiting Asheville. It is actually quite hard to find but is literally right next to the Grove Park Inn, although it cannot be seen from the hotel. I venture to say not many people know about this gem.
