The Sewanee House: Serene Oasis 5 minutes from Campus

Plan an unforgettable stay for a group of up to 17 in this spacious, two-level home that marries charm with a stunning lush, wooded setting. “The Sewanee House exceeded our expectations in so many ways. The house is spotlessly clean, spacious, comfortable, and bright. Kathryn’s tasteful decor and the comfortable beds and furnishings made our stay both relaxing and restful. 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!

Great for friends and family!
Excellent stay all the way around. Gorgeous property and home - loved all the rooms and amenities. We cooked a big family dinner and had guests over on the back patio - perfect setting. The host was MORE than responsive - Kathryn let us take our family to the listing before our stay graciously. Highly recommend and will stay again next time in Sewanee. You wont be disappointed.

Wedding weekend
Great space to unwind and regather ourselves between events for our nieces wedding. Wish we had more time to just enjoy this beautiful home and all it had to offer. Great sleeping arrangements for three couples and 3 teens. Kathryn was a great host, with great communication and support for our trip. Thanks so much! And the yearbooks were a definite highlight - we were able to find a couple years for my brother and my dad. So neat!

Beautiful home!
This house was absolute perfection. It is exactly as listed and has anything you could possibly need and more. We were in town for a family wedding and brought our adult children and grands. The house has a great layout. Two huge bedrooms upstairs with a shared bathroom. The master and two additional bedrooms are downstairs along with two day beds. All beds had super comfy mattresses and linens and their towels are super top quality. The master bathroom was bigger than some bedrooms I’ve been in at rentals with a bathtub as big as a hot tub. The dining areas were huge and the kitchen is so well stocked for a rental! Now, let’s talk about the beautiful and peaceful outdoor space. We wished we could have stayed out there the whole weekend. Enjoyed our coffee and breakfast outside each morning while the kids ran around and explored the huge yard. Birds and all kinds of critters to watch…total plus for our outdoorsy family. Extra large front load washer and dryer were super convenient so we all went home with clean clothes…love to not have dirty laundry upon arrival at home. Checkin and checkout were a breeze and Kathryn was a fantastic communicator. Finally, the beautiful fresh flowers they left for us were the icing on the cake. The most gorgeous and unexpected surprise. Just wish we could have seen the garden these gorgeous blooms came from. Don’t hesitate to book this exemplary home! Be sure to go see the overlook in town as well. Such a beautiful site!
