Fleetwood Cabins & Vacation Rentals
Ashe County quiet, on one of the oldest rivers in the world.
Fleetwood sits in Ashe County along the New River, which despite the name is one of the oldest rivers on earth and is protected as a National Wild and Scenic River. The water is shallow and gentle, which makes it a floating and tubing river rather than a whitewater one.
Boone is about half an hour south when you want more going on.
