About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Blue Heron Mountain Cabin w/Free Biltmore Pass and more

Enjoy FREE activities every day with Pete Key Properties, including Biltmore, Skiing, Rock Wall, Zipline, Whitewater Rafting, Trampoline Park, and Timber Axe Throwing.

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.

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.

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!

The cabin was as advertised, kitchen well stocked, and very clean. It’s in a nice location with a pretty view off the deck. Great for your furry companions too. Nice welcome gift! We had a great stay!

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.

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. 😀

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!

Clean, simple, functional.
The owners have gone above and beyond making this a comfortable place to stay with your family. It is conveniently located if you're looking to explore the numerous waterfalls and attractions around Brevard. I would recommend adding a couple of bigger pots and pans to the kitchen, a griddle, and a gas grill instead of the charcoal one. An outdoor firepit and a swing hanging off the tree by the driveway would be nice also. TV's in the bedroom and a larger TV in the living room would make bed time and breakfast easier with the kids (I get the whole outdoor no TV experience, but sometimes a screen is the easiest way to wind kids down before bedtime). Overall this was a great place, and very easy to check in/out.

Place was great, how ever it smelled really mildewy and my allergies were mad at me the whole time. Mildew was evident on bathroom closet doors. This was our only complaint
