The Hawkesdene House Estate not only offers exceptional facilities for your wedding, reunion or group retreat, our wooded mountain setting also provides a quiet escape into the beautiful forests of Western North Carolina.

Stroll along the tree-lined gravel roads meandering through the property, walk the nature trails along Phillips Creek, hike to the Hawkesnest Pavilion with its view of the 26-acre estate and surrounding countryside, make the one-mile hike into the Nantahala National Forest to the Hidden Waterfall, or just sit in a swing out at the arbor and enjoy the lush surroundings, peace and tranquility at Hawkesdene.
