A: Unfortunately, our guests can’t access those facilities; they are reserved for Mountain Air Country Club members. Fortunately, the town of Burnsville offers a varied selection of eclectic eateries, pubs, a microbrewery and other diversions. I’ve put together a partial collection of them at this link.
Q: Can guests access the golf course and other athletic facilities?
A: Unfortunately, our guests can’t access those facilities; they are reserved for Mountain Air Country Club members. However, you will have access to on-site hiking with over 6 miles of hiking trails and 6 community parks right there in the neighborhood. Park amenities include, fire pits, pavilions with picnic tables, barbecue grills, gazebo, playground with treehouse and several viewing areas with gorgeous mountain views. If you want to golf, you can check out nearby courses such as Mount Mitchell Golf Course.
If access to club amenities is a must for you, you can check out MountainAirHospitality.com. However, you will find those accommodations are substantially more expensive.
