Secluded Log Cabin Near The University of the South
The Cabin at Muggs Pond
Built in 1975 and remodeled in 2006, The Cabin at Muggs Pond offers the perfect amount of mountain seclusion just 10 minutes (and three stop signs) away from The University of the South and St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School campuses. Full of rustic charm and eclectic flare, The Cabin also comes equipped with all the modern necessities and features you need during a weekend getaway or an extended vacation.
Step outside The Cabin’s back door to easily access a 1¾ mile trail perfect for walking, running or biking. Take the short walk down to Muggs Pond for plenty of fishing, canoeing and swimming. Enjoy morning cups of coffee or evening cocktails on The Cabin’s covered back porch. Grill up delicious dinners on The Cabin’s large side deck, complete with built-in bench seating.
The Cabin's great room includes a beautiful stained-glass window and large mountain stone fireplace, fully stocked with firewood for cold winter nights. Each of the bedrooms on the main level has its own 1/2 bath (toilet and sink) and shares a tub shower with an adjoining bedroom. The Cabin’s original full bath is also located on the main level, off of the kitchen. Walk up the spiral staircase to reach The Cabin’s loft bedroom, which has a cozy sitting area/den adjacent to it ideal for reading books, watching movies or playing board games with friends.
Excellent for any occasion (Myers Point, a favorite venue for Sewanee weddings and receptions; is only 1/4 mile away!), The Cabin is sure to make your trip to the mountain one to remember.
Check-in time is 3:00 pm. Check-out time is 11:00 am.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Bill Mauzy

Carrie and Bill both graduated from Sewanee. Bill is the class of 1972 and Carrie, 1978. Bill is a local general contractor and Carrie teaches 2 and 3 year olds at the Regio inspired Sewanee Children's Center in Sewanee. They have lived next door to The Cabin (originally built by Sewanee alums Jamie and Martee Hewitt) for over 33 years. The original one bedroom log cabin (built in 1974) was added on to in 2002, expanding it to 5 bedrooms. The pond itself, built in 1983, is named for Bill's father's nickname.
