About this property

Blue Heron Mountain Cabin Dogs OK near Brevard w/free Biltmore pass

This wonderful little mountain home has been in our family for generations, and we come here whenever we visit the area. It has been updated recently, and we have decided to begin sharing it with guests. It is in a peaceful setting just outside Brevard, and it's convenient to all the wonderful outdoor activites and attractions that make our area so appealing. FREE activities for stays under 29 nights, including Biltmore, Rock Wall, Zipline, Whitewater Rafting, Trampoline Park, Snow Tubing and Axe Throwing.

Everything here is located on the upper level. An open floor plan makes this the perfect home for entertaining. The living space has a large TV and comfy seating, and adjoins the dining area and the well stocked kitchen. We love the big bathroom, and three cozy bedrooms await just down the hall. We have a record player and a record collection in the living room, and through the sliding glass doors you will find a nice deck with adirondack chairs where you can enjoy the view of the neighbor's pond. There is a charcoal grill on the deck as well.

Brevard is home to the renowned Brevard Music Center, and is host to annual festivals including the White Squirrel Festival in early June, 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). Be sure to check out the event calendar for the Porter Center, which is the performing arts venue for Brevard College. You should check out Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Forest, both a short drive away, and it takes only about 20 minutes to get to the beautiful Gorges State Park. Asheville and Hendersonville are both nearby, and they feature lots of attractions if you want to take a day trip or two.

NO FISHING in the pond pictured because it is on the neighbor's property. 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!

Hiking getaway

We had a wonderful trip to Brevard for hiking! It was dark out when we arrived to the property, but the house was well lit by the deck lights. The house was clean and comfortable. We were disappointed that the record player was no longer there as advertised. We had brought several records to enjoy that. The refrigerator also needed maintenance. It was easy to communicate the issue and they said they would fix it after we left. It was not a huge issue because we were only there two nights and also had coolers. Location was great for the hiking we wanted to do. Overall this was a good spot for a last minute weekend trip!

Quaint and Quirky

The location of this property was idea for our needs, about 10 minutes outside of Brevard. The rooms were large, clean and comfortable. We experienced no issues with being able to take our dog outside. There are two mounds in the driveway that look intimidating but our low slung sporty car cleared them easily. The floors throughout are sticky underfoot. When touched with bare hands they do not feel tacky but when wearing shoes or slippers the floors are literally a trip hazard. The fan controller in the bedroom next to the bathroom did not work. The washing machine runs hot water even when the temperature selector is set to tap or cold. The TV in no way approaches "large" as referenced in the write up. I didn't measure but would estimate it to be about 26 or 28 inches. The ceiling fan in the bedroom across from the bathroom was missing a blade. These issues were minor and would not prevent us from staying here again should the need arise.

Almost Rentable

The cabin is a quite, comfortable, spacious and calming place. The location was great! It’s close to downtown Brevard, hiking trails, and lots of restaurants. The beautiful pine ceilings, new light fixtures, quilts, and kitchen sink/faucet were tasteful upgrades, too! But, it’s not equipped with everything you need for a perfect mountain getaway. Here is a to-do list: 1. Replace all mattresses 2. Clean tub 3. Seal opening for washer/dryer plumbing. The opening goes down to basement.This opening allowed spiders to enter the bath. 4. Replace broken ceiling fan 5. Connect water and ice in fridge 6. Repair hole is ramp. 7. Clean rusty metal debris from yard. I would recommend this cabin once repairs are made.

Not Ideal for Dogs

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was an okay experience, but many unexpected rules after paying. If you are looking for a place to stay with dogs-this isn't for you. My husband and I were excited to stay here, thinking our dogs would love it. Since the description says, it's pet friendly. Unfortunately, it's not. The land is small, and you would go to a nearby cliff to give the dogs more room to walk around. Neighbors' homes are close. Your dogs are not allowed on furniture, which is fine, but we learned that information after paying for it when they texted us the rules days before our stay. In the kitchen, I had to clean some dishes that were not clean, and the shelves were dusty. They texted me the day before our departure that we had to wash bed sheets and towels to make it efficient for the housekeepers. That is fine too, but I already cleaned things. The place itself was pretty clean when we left. To our surprise, we had a sunlight-saving hour change, which messed our alarm clock up, so we didn't have time to do a whole laundry. We only used one bed instead of three, though. I would suggest Pete Key Properties be upfront with all of the rules before people pay for the stay.

Beautiful Quiet Place

I had a great time. The house was clean and had great towels, enough dishes and a few extras. Overall, it was an awesome place to stay. I guess are only complaint is it wasn’t closer to Brevard and it was only 11 mins away. 😀

Everything You Need in an Ideal Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This sweet cabin has everything you need and is a 10 minute drive to downtown Brevard. Most hiking is within 20-40 minutes away. Beds are comfy and all spaces are roomy and comfortable. There is a bit less outdoor space than we believed there to be from the pictures and we were sad we couldn't roast marshmallows. Another suggestion that others have also made is to have a larger television in the living area. We definitely don't travel to Western NC to stay indoors and watch TV, but Saturday night college football in the fall is a thing. : ) Overall, a wonderful stay and certainly recommend this cabin.

Great cottage in convenient and beautiful location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was easy to find, served as an excellent base of operations for the surrounding many many great activities (hiking, canoeing, restaurants.The rental agency/owner was fabulous in communication before, on the day of, and after the rental. Very helpful. We had a plumbing issue one day and they got right on it to fix the problem.The only small downside of the property is that there is only 1 toilet in the house (3 bedrooms). This is obviously clearly stated in the description, I just missed it when searching by # bedrooms. No complaint really, just a reminder to renters to scan for # bedrooms AND # bathrooms.Everything else about the house was great. Kitchen was extremely well stocked and great for a cook to work in.

Awesome place!

We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return to the Blue Heron soon! Great house, very clean. Stocked with pans, dishes, glasses, coffee cups, silverware, coffee pot, toaster oven, microwave, oven, dishwasher, washer & dryer. Great view, not a mountain view per se, but still a sweet view. Great porch. Very quiet area and we felt very safe. Awesome location! Not to far from town, central to all the hiking we wanted to do and Falls we wanted to see. I'm very familiar with Brevard, so this was a perfect location to me. The house was spacious, cute decor, nice light fixtures and updates. We LOVED the wide couch!

Great Stay

This was our first time in Brevard and we were not disappointed. The area is great and this house was a wonderful place for us to stay. Very clean with the actual beds (as opposed to a pull-out or some cheap version of bed that others use). Pete was easy to work with and made the entire process a snap. Like the genius that I am, I lost the keys within the first 2 hours of having them, but Pete was calm and polite and made sure we had another set. I really appreciated that. We will be visiting Bravard in the future, so I'm sure we'll be back to this property again!

Easy and Cozy with Modern Touches

We have stayed in lots of VRBOs in Western NC, but we’ll definitely be coming back to this one. The location is proximal to DuPont and Pisgah Forests and also an easy drive to town for a quick meal or provisions. The house is cozy and based on square-footage alone you might presume a little tight, but the open kitchen and living space felt spacious, and the bedrooms were a nice size with new pillows and mattresses. We could easily fit the whole family comfortably on an upcoming visit. We loved the view of the neighbor’s pond, the wraparound deck, and the record player as well as the selection of classic vinyl which we enjoyed in the evenings. This house is a simple, easy, and while it has modern touches there’s a lovely warm feel as well. We loved it!
