The beautiful setting is also very close to Sewanee campus making visiting for any reason very convenient.”

Our St. Paddy's Day Weekend

10 of us headed to unknown terrirtory--stayed in Sewanee to attend a concert (Irish band "Altan") at The Caverns. We wanted a place we could all be together (ha, we travel in a herd) and wanted a place where we would not disturb anyone as we love our music, competitive games (ha). This place was PERFECT! Extra clean, plenty of room, clear on what we needed to do on arrival/departure. Kathryn, property manager, was an awesome communicator, and appreciated her efforts in finding places to eat--we ate/drank Shenanigans and loved that place. Everyone had a great time and we would stay here again, but alas, other places to check off our bucket list (hey we are old but fun-loving).

Birthday Getaway

We wanted to get away to Sewanee to celebrate our sons birthday. This was the perfect place with more than enough room for the 8 of us. The house had everything we needed and the most comfortable beds. Can't wait for another visit to the mountain.

Best Weekend Getaway!

This house was everything we could have asked for in a weekend getaway. We had 8 adults & 1 infant and we have everything we needed. The kitchen is amazingly stocked with the best appliances and cookware. It’s the perfect house to accommodate a large group and VERY children friendly. The communication with the property manager has been professional and super informative. We had no issues with appliances or cleanliness. We especially loved the sun room, and the large dining table!
