Arrival
4:00 pm
381 Phillips Creek Rd, Andrews, NC 28901
Check in time! *Please note- if driving from the Midwest, avoid a certain spot of Rt 129 in Tennessee This is called the Tail of the Dragon and is a popular route for people seeking adventure... We would suggest, once in Knoxville, to take I-75 S to US-129 S/Alcoa Hwy in Knoxville. Then take exit 386B from I-40 W. Continue on US-129 S. THEN take US-411 to TN 68 S to Cherohala Skyway to US-129 (through Robbinsville) and then continue to Hawkesdene. Please reach out if you have any questions! We just want everyone to be aware so they don't drive through the Tail if undesired.
