It is in the northwest part of the county, with the city of Elizabethton, the county seat, bordering it to the south, across the Watauga River. Tennessee State Route 400 runs through the southern part of the community, leading south into Elizabethton and west 5 miles (8 km) to Watauga. U.S. Route 19E runs along the northeast edge of Biltmore, leading north 7 miles (11 km) to U.S. Route 19W at Bluff City and south through Elizabethton 25 miles (40 km) to Elk Park, North Carolina.
