It's a small but beautiful waterfall, surrounded by natural beauty and vegetation. This waterfall is located within the Biltmore Estate property.

It is expensive to visit here. $60 just to see the grounds. Over $95 to go inside the estate. Buy tickets online or wait in line for quite awhile to purchase there.
