Onsite Guest Check In
4:00 pm
Hawkesdene staff have requested that we emphasize the check in time as 4:00 PM or later on Thursday, but you can arrive any time on Friday. (It is not a daily check-in time like you would see at a regular hotel, this time refers to the earliest we can access the Estate for the weekend). Thank you!
Let's Drink & Catch Up
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Garden Attire
Note-- We've had a lot of questions about what "Garden Attire" means. For the girls, think sundresses, maxi skirts, jumpsuits, and rompers in floral prints, pastels, and light & bright colors. For the guys, think suits in lighter hues, khaki & pastel pants, floral patterns, button downs and polos. At the risk of confusing our northern guests (sorry!), "garden attire" is what you might expect to see at a southern tailgate or horserace. And at the risk of confusing everyone who doesn't watch sitcoms, think Dwight's Garden Party from The Office. Please join us for beer, wine, and appetizers.

For The Early Birds
8:30 am - 10:00 am
Brunch will be served from 10:30am - 12:30pm, but an early continental breakfast will also be available for any onsite guests who wish to grab coffee and a quick bite to start the day.
Hike To The Hidden Waterfall
9:00 am
We plan to hike over to the Hidden Waterfall in the morning before brunch. We would love for you to join us! It is about a mile to the falls and should be a fairly easy hike. There are other hikes around the property as well, including the very strenuous hike to the mountaintop "Hawkes Nest" (which boasts an incredible view). Maps of the property will be provided upon arrival.
For The Brunchers
10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Brunch is included for onsite guests and may be purchased in advance by offsite guests. Don't worry, there will be a bloody mary and mimosa bar so the afternoon lawn games will be much more entertaining for everyone to play and watch!
