Wonderful place to stay in Sewanee

We were here for our daughter’s Senior day and absolutely loved the location and the house. It was incredibly clean, the beds were comfy and the kitchen is really well stocked. We enjoyed the covered deck in the back a lot as well. Great option for parents visiting their kids!

Top marks for our college visit

Wife and I traveled with our high schooler to visit Sewanee for a weekend. Can't imagine a better place to stay. Cozy, clean and in close proximity to the campus. Tastefully decorated, well equipped, this place is a little gem. Highly recommend if you're visiting the area.

Great stay in Sewanee

David’s tiny house was just perfect for my stay on the mountain. My family unfortunately could not make the trip, but if they had, we would have had plenty of space for all four of us. The house has great amenities and is super comfortable, all very close to downtown Sewanee and central campus.
