River Refuge - walk to river, hot tub, pet friendly! | House in Fleetwood

Welcome to our River Refuge on the South Fork!
If you are looking for a comfortable, private, family-friendly, quality home for a better-than-expected vacation rental then you are in the right place.
This wonderful 2,000 square foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is located on the South Fork New River in Fleetwood, NC. Just a half mile to the river at Railroad Grade Road, you can walk or bike to your heart's content without having to get into your car. Only a 20-minute drive to either Boone or West Jefferson and situated on 4 acres of land, you're just a short drive away to the downtown areas while still feeling miles away at this private getaway.
With a primary king suite, a queen bedroom, and a third bunk room with a daybed and a trundle (four twin mattresses total) in this single level home, River Refuge on the South Fork is excellent for couples, families and friend groups alike.
Under the vaulted ceilings in the great room, you can cozy up with a cup of coffee while you read or enjoy a fire in the wood-burning fireplace. Down the hall is a second full living area, complete with a 65-inch smart TV and an extra deep sectional providing room for the whole family. 500 MBPS Wi-Fi is available throughout the home and a desk with two external monitors plus a docking station makes for easy connectivity for remote work during an extended stay.
While including all the basics, the kitchen also comes with things you may wish more short-term rentals had such as sharp kitchen knives (our knife block has a built-in sharpener), a French press, drip coffee maker, an electric kettle, matching pots & pans and cutlery - and even a few extras like an electric waffle maker!
If you're traveling with kids (or even if you aren't!) the house is stocked with puzzles, games and children's books. Outside, guests can take a dip in the relaxing hot tub, catch up on your reading while laying in the hammock, or roast a marshmallow at the fire pit. Even your four-legged companions will enjoy their stay with the fully fenced in yard.
We love this beautiful area, and we hope you come to love it too!
