Accommodations
Hawkesdene property has accomodations for some of our guests, but, alas, not all.
If you are not staying on the Hawkesdene property, we still would love for you to come to the property and join us any time for outdoor fun, firepit smores, grilling, picnics, or llama spotting.
Please contact me (Maria) at 36linnard@gmail.com if you'd like help with accommodations!
If you are not sure whether you are supposed to stay on the property or if you are supposed to be off-site, please contact us before booking.
LASTLY, please let me know where you booked and when you do so I can keep track. Thanks!
