About this property
Private Mountain Estate
Hawkesdene is a Private Mountain Estate located in Andrews, NC in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Centrally-located between, Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Charlotte, Hawkesdene hosts reunion-style weddings and other personal and corporate special events. This private estate spans 70 acres in The Great Smoky Mountains. The management team at Hawkesdene warmly invites couples planning for a truly remarkable wedding event. What makes this property unique is its private exclusivity; The entire estate is yours and your guest's alone, with no curfews, for the duration of your stay. Attention to detail here is second to none, as you’ll see the moment you arrive.
FACILITIES & CAPACITY
• Onsite accommodations for as many as 122 guests
• Event facilities for up to 125 guests
• We host just one group at a time, ensuring personal use of the entire estate, elegant accommodations, and beautifully manicured grounds and gardens.
• Our continuous hands-on improvement of, and investment in, this property helps keep Hawkesdene's offerings at the highest level with the nation's best wedding venues.
• Hawkesdene's expansive property is highlighted by a host of spectacular backdrops and outdoor spaces for ceremonies, all of which you can choose from before, and even on, your special day.
• Lovely locations to choose from to hold your ceremony. A canopy of Crape Myrtles sets the mood as a natural archway creates one of our most popular ceremony locations on the estate.
• Our open lawn is ideal for larger groups and boasts a beautifully-designed pergola with lush floral gardens and mountain views. Smaller, more intimate ceremonies have taken place with our llama and alpaca stable as a rustic, heartfelt backdrop. You will see our friendly llamas and alpacas grazing in the pasture.
• Receptions are held in either our spacious open-air pavilion attached to the main house and overlooking Phillips Creek or in our brand new, 5,000 square-foot, Reception Gallery located on Colvard Creek. This chic building is adorned with the owners’ personal collection of contemporary artwork. And this venue assures that inclement weather will never be an issue for your ceremony, cocktail party and reception on your special day.

An extended stay here is about bringing all your close friends and family together for a comfortable, relaxing, private getaway in the mountains. Add to all of that, an abundance of chef-created, delicious cuisine, with our professional service staff here just for you.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Rob Scheiwiller
Hawkesdene first opened its doors to guests as a Bed & Breakfast Inn in 1995. What began as a 14-bedroom estate on 26 acres has blossomed into what it is today. When Phil and Rob purchased Hawkesdene in 2002 they knew they had found something special and it has remained at the center of their lives ever since. Today the estate is spread across 54 acres of beautiful grounds, gardens, pastures with direct access into the Nantahala National Forrest and includes a main house, eleven cottages and an Airstream.
As an Alabama native, Phil began his professional journey at Auburn University in the school of architecture. This led him to Central Florida where he acquired degrees in Business Management and Real Estate and went on to become one of Downtown Orlando’s most pioneering developers. He is most noted for his transformation of a once threatened Orlando neighborhood into the now blossoming Thornton Park district. His community transformations are still leading in the city of Orlando and his real estate company, Olde Town Brokers, continues to hold leading market share as one of the most highly respected real estate organizations in Central Florida.
Upon graduating high school in his home town of Syracuse New York, Rob moved to Tampa Florida where he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of South Florida and received a BS degree in Business Management. From there his work briefly took him to Kenosha Wisconsin, back to Syracuse New York and finally to Orlando Florida where he and Phil were introduced. Together Phil and Rob created successful restaurant and hotel companies located in Thornton Park that quickly gained notoriety and helped to identify the neighborhood. Their education, work experience and passion for real estate, hospitality, interior design and architecture are evident at Hawkesdene.
