When our brother passed away and left us his beautiful home, we decided that the best way to honor his memory would be to share it with others. He called it Vaquero (Spanish for "Horseman") because of his love of horses. The property includes a barn with secure storage for bikes and other equipment. The pasture borders the French Broad River in the back of the property.

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.

We are so excited to host your visit! The Pete Key Properties team welcomes you and is here to help create a memorable experience. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need anything at all. We look forward to seeing you soon!
