Clean, spacious, peaceful retreat in Sewannee. The house had everything we needed, and is just minutes away from Sewannee campus. We will definitely try to stay here every time we are in the area in the future.

Great house close to campus!
We had the perfect weekend staying in this house for Sewanee Homecoming. Plenty of sleeping and living space for two couples and two kids (ages 3 and 5). The house was very clean and comfortable. We could have easily walked to campus!

Lovely old house, near the Sewanee campus
This was our second stay in this house. We have a child at Sewanee, and stayed here at the end of last semester, and this time at the start of the new one.
The house is well equipped, comfortable and clean. Everything you need for a stay away from home.

A Sewanee Gem!
Stayed in the Hawkins house during alumni weekend for SAS with another friend. The house is the perfect mixture of vintage Sewanee charm and modern convenience. I grew up there and this was a perfect way to recharge on the mountain. Would 100% stay there again. And I truly hope to!!! Kathy was exceptionally helpful and communicative and they have really given this beautiful old Sewanee home a rebirth. ❤️
