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 three stall horse barn with secure storage for bikes and other equipment. The pasture borders the French Broad River in the back of the property. We plan to complete repairs to the fence soon so we can accommodate horses some day.
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 gazebo 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 every Memorial Day Weekend, 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).
We look forward to hosting your visit, and we hope you love Vaquero as much as we do!

We were very pleased with our stay at Vaquero. The property was lovely. We especially liked drinking our morning coffee on the deck and sipping wine in the evening in the screened in porch. We came to the area for hiking with our two labs. Vaquero gave us the experience of a comfortable home in a great location. We would certainly return.

We stayed at this house to be close to family. It is conveniently located to Brevard and Triple falls. The house was very clean and the owner was just a call away.The only 2 issues we had were the entrance stairs were steep and there was no handrail, and it is on a main road so if you have a dog that needs a fenced yard this is not for you. Fortunately ours was gine.

We had a wonderful stay, everything was as expected and loved the bike barn! Thanks for the memories.

We had a very nice time at this property. It was conveniently located and had a lovely field in the back. We really enjoyed the screened porch and open deck and spent a lot of time out there. A couple of suggestions would be to replace the king mattress and reorganize the kitchen cabinets.

We had the best time at this home. The house was lovely and fit our needs well. We enjoyed outdoor time by the pond and had alot of fun in the area. It is close to everything and the yard and view was awesome! We will be back!!!!! Flyfishing and just enjoying nature was our weekend plan and it was accomplished. Thanks for sharing this home with us!

Extremely clean and comfortable house with all the amenities. Excellent location - 2 miles to Pisgah, 7 miles to Dupont. For biking, there is a barn on property (with lock) to store your equipment. Great screened in porch overlooking the pasture, and perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. Also includes a gazebo with a Sterling gas grill - perfect for evening cookouts! Highly recommend this property as your base location.

My 76 year mother stayed for three nights and absolutely loved the house and the property. As property manager, Pete was fantastic and everything was as advertised. Thank you Pete.

Beautiful 3 BR home with everything you need in the kitchen.
We spent a lot of our time in the screened in porch, never getting tired of the view. My daughters dog ran all over the property and believe me, there was plenty of it.
We had a lovely time and will rent again.

Truly enjoyed our stay! Close to biking and hiking trails. House was very private and well maintained. Loved the corn hole game.

We were in town for a 'working vacation' and rented Vaquero for ten days. The place was spotless and immaculately clean! 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.

Hi Bobby, thanks so much for the nice review. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope you can visit us again soon!

This house has everything you need and all in working order. We just loved the location and easy to get to. There are no steep driveways to fight getting up.
The weather was chilly so we didn’t use the beautiful bbq area or the porch. Definitely would stay here again. No bugs and very clean, two of my top of the list requirements.

We enjoyed our stay at Vaquero. The screened in porch and outdoor spaces were exceptional and we really enjoyed the commercial outdoor grill / cooking space. It was close to Dupont and Pisgah forest as well as Oscar Blues, all favorite places for us when visiting Brevard.

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.
Manager Response
The pasture really is a beautiful piece of nature and it is lovely to be able to take time out and sit and watch all the animals that pass through. We are so glad that you enjoyed your time at the house!

A comfortable house with lots of outdoor space. Well equipped kitchen for those who cook. Seating in the living room is limited; could use another chair or love seat. Great master bedroom and bath. Convenient location for visiting the surrounding towns, state parks and national forests.

This property was exactly as described and then some. We truly felt like we were staying in someone's home, not a boring hotel. It is located so close to Brevard where you can find just about anything you might need. I would highly recommend Vaquero!

We found the [perfect location in the mountains for the family vacation. Our son is an avid mountain biker and he said there couldn't be a more convenient location. He was only three miles from Pisgah National Forest entrance and only a little further from Dupont State Forest, It is a bikers dream location. The rest of the family enjoyed both the location to outdoor activities and the convivence of dinning and shopping in Brevard. Vaquero was the perfect "home away from home", base of operation for our extended weekend. The house is perfect for a family who wants access to all that wonderful Western North Carolina has to offer. Perfect for hikers, mountain bikers or horseback riders. The property comes complete with barn and fenced pasture. Very nice decks, gazebo and wildlife pond are all included. The house is very clean and comfortable. We will be back for certain!
