Vaquero on French Broad River valley near Brevard, one level, Dogs OK, free Biltmore Pass

Former horse farm called Vaquero (Spanish for "Horseman"). Secure storage for bikes and gear. Faces the French Broad River Valley with mountains in the distance. Only 10 minutes to downtown Brevard and close to DuPont State Forest and Pisgah Forest. Single level home on a flat lot. Very private, great for bikers, convenient to attractions. FREE activities for stays under 29 nights, including Biltmore, Rock Wall, Zipline, Whitewater Rafting, Trampoline Park, Snow Tubing and Axe Throwing.

Vaquero's outdoor spaces have been lovingly maintained and include a screened porch and deck that overlook the pasture and the dramatic mountain view beyond. There is a lovely pergola where you will find both a gas grill and a charcoal grill. The pond beside it has a little dock, which is a peaceful place to sit and relax. We are nestled in the valley so you don't have to drive on any twisty mountain roads to get here.

Come explore Brevard, Asheville, Hendersonville and the surrounding communities. Vaquero is located a mere 2 mile drive to Oskar Blues Brewery and several other excellent local breweries. Beautiful Sierra Nevada Brewery is only about a 30 minute drive away with tours and a restaurant. We are just minutes from downtown Brevard and the entrance to Pisgah National Forest. It's also a short drive to DuPont State Forest, the site of the beautiful waterfalls featured in The Hunger Games. Opportunities for outdoor activities are endless, including biking, hiking and sightseeing.

Downtown Brevard streets have a quaint small town feel but boast fantastic dining choices, bakeries, shopping, and several local art galleries. A favorite is Main Street Ltd., a great gift shop right next to Quotations Cafe. Of course, Brevard is home to the renowned Brevard Music Center, and is also host to annual festivals including the White Squirrel Festival in early June, the Twilight Tour and festival in early December, great 4th of July festivals, the Mountain Song Festival every September, and lots of fun activities on Halloween (Brevard is in Transylvania County, after all).

Please note the maximum stay for Vaquero is two weeks. PET NOTE: Dogs only, no cats please.

We are so excited to host your visit! The Pete Key Properties team welcomes you and is here to help create a memorable experience. Enjoy the free activities described above, and you can also book helicopter tours, e-bikes, wellness tours and hiking and more through our Activity Concierge. Please don t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need anything at all. We look forward to seeing you soon!

We loved staying here, very clean and homey! We loved the back yard and deck- very pretty area. Only concern was with our dogs the property was not technically fenced in by the road so they could have ran out onto the street but other than that was the perfect property.

This property is an excellent base for activities in the Brevard area. A pastoral setting, this farmhouse is out in the countryside but within minutes of Pisgah/Brevard. We will use this home again.

We have definitely found our 'place to stay' for Brevard, NC. The house was immaculately clean and perfect for us. Elisabeth was more than helpful with immediate responses the few times we had questions.

This home was very well appointed. We loved the view, the gazebo and the overall comfort of the house. The common areas were a bit small, but it worked very well for our family of four adults. I would highly recommend this property.

The house was perfect for our short vacation. The house was very well maintained and clean. The pictures don't do the house justice. Very well decorated and well stocked with everything you need for your stay. The grounds are fantastic, with an assortment that can be enjoyed right from the screened porch. The location allows easy access for anything you want to do, Will definitely stay again.

The few times we needed to contact management, they were near instant in their reply. We have found our 'home away from home' when we visit this area.

Property is close to Brevard for groceries and shopping. We’ll be back again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is located between Pisgah Forest and Dupont State Forest and is close to many of the area breweries. We enjoyed the views in the evening from both the inside and outside decks. Only the cool weather kept us away from the pond in the evenings. The yard had plenty of space for our 2 dogs to run and play. I would definitely rent this again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Vaquero to be near extended family at Christmas. It was a perfect location, a few miles away from their place, and close to Brevard, hiking, walking trails. The house itself has a beautiful view of fields and mountains from the deck or screened porch. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked. Added bonus is the gazebo and fish pond, a relaxing setting to enjoy a warm Christmas day. The place is beautifully maintained, all the comforts of home.

The king bed is very comfortable and the home was extremely clean. It was very close to Brevard and about 25 minutes from Hendersonville. Thank you for allowing us to stay with our two pups. They enjoyed the large yard and we were able to see the farmer who leases the hay field bale up the hay.

Reviewer Comments: Viewing deer cross through the pasture in the morning while sipping coffee from the screened porch. Hummingbirds made a visit daily along with a calling hawk hunting in the field. House is comfortable, road noise takes getting use to...but would stay here again. Nice carport to protect car and people from elements.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After cancelling our beach vacation because of hurricane Ian, I found this property and I'm really glad I did. It's a great location just outside of Brevard and the home was the perfect size for me, my wife, and our miniature dachshund. Easy access to Brevard, Pisgah, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Had a great meal at the Salty Landing in Etowah and the sunset viewing from the porch is outstanding. Property manager was attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommended.

We came from Charlotte so when we got to Brevard, it was too early for check in so we went right down the road from the house to Brevard Tubing and went tubing for two hours until check in was available. Once we arrived at the house, we instantly felt right at home. The house was very clean and private! The property itself was beautiful. The house has amazing views on the back deck. We spent the most time on the back decks but also sat by the pond and the Pergola on the property. The location was great as we ventured to Hooker Falls, Sliding Rock and good Looking Glass Falls for a fun filled adventure! We look forward to coming back! Thank you for your hospitality!

The house was as expected, except it did smelled a bit like cat pee. I let management know this upon arrival. They said they would investigate further. Never heard more. It was tolerable once I put a pot of water with cinnamon on the stove. We also cooked a lot and opened windows, which helped take our mind off. The house is centrally located to Moore Cove Trail and Jeter Mountain Orchard, which were perfect for our group. The house had all the items we needed. The pergola, grilling area, and pond were cute.

The pictures do not give this property justice of the peaceful beauty and surroundings it deserves. The owners have thought of everything to make this such a pleasant home to stay in, from the decorative flowers on the patio and around the property, to ensuring the lawn is freshly cut upon arrival, providing charcoal for us with the outdoor grill if we chose to use it and having each room set up so nicely, with adequate towels for the bathrooms and plenty of kitchen amenities that we needed for our stay. They even provided fish food for the small fish pond on the property so that we could enjoy feeding the fish each evening! We loved watching the sunset on the back porch area each night and just appreciated the space this home allowed 5 adults to gather for our annual reunion with other family in Brevard. We felt very comfortable in this home and just appreciate the location, the views of the valley and mountains and the peacefulness in the evening that it provided. Would most definitely stay with this property again without hesitation!

Very peaceful; especially enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch. Good access to hiking and Brevard. We did have a problem with the water being cloudy at first and actually brown in one of the tubs. It cleared up after a few days. Not sure what the problem was. We did not call about it. We also couldn’t figure out how to change the thermostat settings. Next time we will call about these 2 things. But we loved the house and the great views.

The property was very clean when we arrived. So peaceful and quiet. Although the weather was not perfect we enjoyed the property and especially the screened in porch. The fact that we could bring our extended family (fur babies) made it even more wonderful. We will surely be visiting again.
