Hawkesdene

Hawkesdene is a 70-acre property located in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, and on the edge of the National Nantahala Forest. The all-inclusive estate includes hiking trails, llama & alpaca barns, games & bonfires, luxury furnishings and bedding, chef-catered meals and snacks all day every day, unlimited beverages including coffee, soft drinks, juices and water. The Cossuto’s are supplying alcohol for the majority of the events and all meals. Throughout the property there are individual cottages and houses of various size that will be thoughtfully assigned to our guests based on group size, family, and friends. These assignments will be shared with guests upon their arrival by the Hawkesdene Staff @ the Main House. For more information on how this works, take a peek at our "FAQ" and "Venue" tabs.
