Directions

Mountainside Townhomes are easy to find and located inside the gate in the Wolf Laurel resort community that is a pleasure to visit. The recently completed Interstate I-26 connector from Asheville NC to the Johnson City/East Tennessee area gives quick access to the resort from around the country. Forget about two lane switchbacks here - just 5 miles from Exit 3 off I-26, you'll find yourself in a charming mountaintop village at 4300 ft. with views of the panoramic ranges of Western North Carolina.

It is NOT a good idea to try to use Mapquest, Google or any other GPS system for directions to the area.  You're in luck as we have provided good instructions for getting to our location.

REMEMBER to call ahead of time to schedule a tour since Randy and Toni are not always on site.  They will be happy to meet you to provide a tour at your convenience.

ATTENTION: Due to a recent rockslide on I-40, the east and west lanes are closed at mile marker 3. It is expected the road will be closed for several months, into spring of 2010. If you plan to travel on I-40 from Tennessee, or further west, there is an alternative route below.
