Description Description
Seven good reasons why Best of Seven will be the best vacation rental you have ever experienced: the incredible view, the modern, brand new home, the incredible view, the mountaintop gated community, the incredible view, the abundance of outdoor adventures in the Burnsville, NC area, and, of course, the truly incredible view. As you pass through the Mountain Air entrance gate and ascend to an elevation of 5,000 feet, anticipation builds until you arrive at the doorstep of Best of Seven. Designed for memorable family gatherings and elegant group retreats, this custom home offers a central living space with soaring ceilings, a stone gas fireplace, a fully equipped chef’s kitchen, and an extended dining table. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame 180-degree vistas, seamlessly blending the indoors with the natural splendor of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The covered deck, anchored by a sleek gas fire table, invites you to linger as the sun paints the valley in brilliant hues across the horizon.

The home’s thoughtful design ensures every moment is elevated. The lower-level recreation room provides plenty of entertainment with a foosball table, arcade basketball, and a 75-inch television, plus walk-out access to a private deck. After an evening of laughter, retreat to the main-level primary suite with a king-size bed and spa-inspired bath, or choose from four lower-level bedrooms, including one with a queen-over-queen bunk. Every bathroom features dual sinks, ideal for groups, while special touches such as a downstairs coffee bar, a children’s play area, and a dedicated laundry room add both luxury and convenience. An attached garage ensures seamless arrival. With the best view in the Blue Ridge as your constant backdrop, Best of Seven is more than a destination; it is a work of art in nature’s finest gallery.

The weather on Slickrock Mountain is ideal in all seasons, with spring wildflowers, a chill to the air even in mid-summer, the brilliance of fall foliage, and picturesque snowfall in the winter.

There are several festivals in the area, including the Carolina Mountain Literary Festival and the Mt. Mitchell Crafts Fair, held annually on the historic Burnsville Town Square. Get outside and kayak the Toe River, go gem mining at Emerald Village (35 min.), or explore the Blue Ridge Parkway.

In the winter, enjoy skiing and snow tubing at Hatley Pointe Mountain Resort, just 35 minutes away. The drive to Asheville, NC, is a smooth 45-minute trip via I-26.

A dream!
You will want for nothing here. Spectacular view and well-appointment residence with all the amenities for a big family vacation. Kids won’t even get cabin fever! Plenty of space to play while adults have multiple areas to relax and unwind. We will absolutely return! Thank you to the wonderful owners and management company for a great visit.

We recently stayed at this property and overall had a nice visit. The views from this home are truly impressive. The house itself was comfortable and matched the listing photos. Check-in was smooth with the keypad entry, and the location was both private and serene — perfect for everything we needed during our stay.

Just as listed — beautiful property with a gorgeous view and tons of natural light. Home is in a large, quiet, gated community with an easy check-in/out process. Well stocked kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms. Plenty of space/separation for our group of 5 and our small dog. Management company is very responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

The house was beautiful - modern, cozy, and thoughtfully designed with stunning architecture. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Each morning greeted us with a new landscape, as clouds drifted through the valley below, creating a truly magical atmosphere. The interior was spotless and felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals and enjoy the space like a home away from home. The only minor downside - though understandable - was that the garage wasn’t available for use. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we’re already considering a return visit in the future.

Stunning views and just a wonderful home for families
Fell asleep on the deck multiple times. Burnsville is so cute and this place sits above it near the top of Slick Rock mountain. The house is new and modern and and its management is quite responsive. Five bedrooms and both our families slept quite comfortably. Would very much recommend and stay again.

Morning Coffee with a Million Dollar View
We had such a wonderful stay at this mountain house! The views are absolutely breathtaking. Better even than what you can see in the pictures. Sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee in the morning quickly became my favorite part of the trip. The whole house has such a warm, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to relax and feel at home right away. The on-site amenities are top notch. The restaurant was delicious, the gym fully equipped, both with stunning mountain views. One of the most unique parts of our stay was watching planes take off right from the pool - it was such a fun experience! My kids especially loved the game rooms - there’s one at the house and one for guests at the clubhouse - which kept them entertained for hours (a blessing). This place truly has something for everyone, and we can’t wait to come back!

Comfort
2 Words- Water Pressure! The water pressure and heat in all the showers was amazing, especially with such a large group. Also, the mattresses and bedding were very comfortable. We stay in a lot of Airbnbs and the level of comfort is important to me. The views, the layout and the location were amazing and added to the joy of the trip.

A Dream Mountain Retreat for All Ages
Our multi-generational family of nine had a truly unforgettable stay at the Best of Seven house in Mountain Air Country Club! We spent a week here this past summer, and it felt like a dream retreat. Perched high atop Slickrock Mountain, the home is surrounded by serene natural beauty with sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains visible from nearly every room. The décor is stunning, and the thoughtful amenities made it easy to settle in right away. The open-concept layout features a fully equipped kitchen with plenty of dining space, perfect for gathering as a family. With two master suites and additional well-appointed bedrooms, everyone enjoyed comfortable accommodations. The game room was a hit for all ages, offering fun for both kids and adults. One of the highlights of our stay was the expansive covered deck that stretches along the main living area. Starting each morning with coffee while taking in the peaceful mountain scenery was an absolute delight. The location is ideal as well—just a short 10-minute drive to the charming downtown of Burnsville, where we enjoyed browsing the local shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Kudos to the hosts — they truly thought of everything, and beyond! We couldn’t have asked for a better home base for our family getaway. Best of Seven is a rare gem, and we’d return in a heartbeat.

Peaceful Escape
Early mornings on the deck is where it's at! I had the privilege to enjoy several mornings listening to the sounds of nature (not traffic) and watching the colors change over the mountains with the sunrise. Who needs an alarm when you can wake up naturally? The house is spacious but warm and welcoming, using natural light from an expanse of windows that allow a view from almost anywhere inside. My daughter also enjoyed sleeping on the bunk bed, playing in the kids' play room, and reading a book from their little library every night. There are gadgets and gems throughout the home that you didn't know you needed, but soon will have you wondering why every house doesn't include it. I mean, the faucet over the gas range stove to fill your large pots? Genius! Overall, Best of Seven provides a peaceful opportunity to escape everyday noise and stress while submerging yourself into nature. It is not only beautiful, but functional and welcoming.

Breathtaking Getaway ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From the moment we arrived, we knew our stay at Best of Seven was going to be memorable. Communication from the host prior to arrival was detailed, clear, and thoughtful. It immediately set the tone for a seamless and stress-free experience—kudos to the host! Once we arrived at the home it was obvious that every detail was thoughtfully considered—from the comfy furnishings and spacious living areas to well-appointed kitchen and relaxing outdoor spaces. It truly felt like a luxury retreat perfectly tailored to rest and recreation. And the views from every room are second to none. Absolutely breath taking. For golf enthusiasts, the nearby course is championship quality with impeccable fairways, challenging greens, and gorgeous mountain backdrops. The location is a nature lover’s dream. We were just a short drive from downtown Burnsville —a charming mountain town known for its artisanal flair, historic charm, and vibrant small-town energy. From live music and outdoor dining to strolls through downtown to visit the local ice cream shop, tea room, and boutiques, it offered a perfect mix of culture and convenience. The location is also central to various hiking trails that are family-friendly and is within short driving distance to scenic tubing areas and adventure parks with zip-lining and mountain biking. It was the perfect place to enjoy a family vacation to balance relaxation and adventure. It felt like a home away from home in the best way. We will definitely come back year after year.

Burnsville is a special place filled with wonderful people and breathtaking views. This Airbnb has the views but unfortunately, the management is the exact opposite. The listing claimed it could sleep 6 (or 8 if you use couches), but in reality it was far less comfortable. It was also advertised as pet-friendly, yet the pet fee wasn’t addressed until after booking, a misleading and unfair setup. Mid-stay, our water was shut off remotely after pets were spotted on a Ring camera. Even though the property was labeled “pet-friendly,” this surveillance was intrusive and felt like pressure to pay extra fees. After the host assured us the issue was resolved, the water was shut off again while team members were mid-shower, and it wasn’t restored until after we had already left for a work event — leaving some of our group unable to get ready. On top of that, the fire alarm randomly went off at midnight. After years of great Airbnb stays, this was by far the worst.

Hello Christopher, Thank you for your review, and we apologize your experience was anything less than perfect. On our end we feel this review is retaliatory in nature - your original stay was booked for 5 adults and no pets. When there was a report of pets at the property we reached out to collect the proper pet fee for your reservation and were met with resistance. To this date no pet fee has been paid. Its unfortunate that later in your stay there were water issues at the property; these water issues were related to issues with water in the area and had nothing to do with the pet discussion. Thank you again for your review and we hope you otherwise had an excellent stay with us.
