Plan your April 21st flights into Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) direct from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) or Minneapolis (MSP)  

If someone wishes to trailer down with bikes in tow, that would be an option as well.  Plan on taking 2 easy days to get here or one long day.  There will be parking available in the Maggie Valley area to store your 4-wheel vehicle for the duration of the trip.

Your host lives about 90 minutes east of Asheville and can organize a shuttle you to reunite you with your bike.
