About this property

Large family friendly great room with large Smart tv on main level. Additional half bath. Fully-equipped kitchen. Gas grill. Great indoor and outdoor spaces with seating to entertain family and friends. Step out onto the back deck that overlooks the woods or enjoy coffee on the screened porch while listening to the peaceful sounds of the forest. Easy access to the Wiggins Creek Trail which connects to the Perimeter Trail and trails to local waterfalls. Trails' Rest welcomes guests visiting Sewanee for University sponsored and approved events.

Sewanee is a small town in south-central Tennessee. It is known primarily for its natural scenery and association with the University of the South. There are roughly 2,500 residents, of whom about 1,500 are students at the University. Sewanee is positioned about halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga. The town and the roughly 13,000 acres surrounding it -- all of which are owned directly by the University -- are quaintly called "The Domain" by residents.

Another one of the prettiest college campuses in US, the massive 13,000-acre campus of Sewanee mainly features Collegiate Gothic architecture, the highlight of which is the All Saints' Chapel.

The other major attraction in Sewanee is the natural landscape. Due to its location on the Cumberland Plateau, there are many scenic vistas overlooking nearby valleys. Some are accessible by car (such as University View on Tennessee Ave., and Green's View on Green's View Rd.), but most are accessible only by foot or mountain bike. University View and its large Memorial Cross are worth a drive down Tennessee Ave. for any visitor. There are also a number of unusual rock formations and other natural oddities in the area, which are outlined in local hiking guides.

The University hosts the Sewanee Writers' Conference each summer. The Sewanee Summer Music Festival is an annual, month-long music camp for young orchestral musicians under the tutelage of accomplished teachers and conductors.

There are more good restaurants nearby than one might expect. Of particular interest is Shenanigans, located in an old building at the intersection of Highway 41 and University Ave. A student favorite and generally good source of refreshments, it is in a building that has a noticeable lean due to its old age. Almost all restaurants are located within walking distance of the University/Hwy 41 intersection.

The Blue Chair, 41 University Ave...What started out as an eclectic and quaint coffee shop and bakery has become a local breakfast and lunch hotspot. The Blue Chair bakes muffins and cookies from scratch every day. The chicken salad sandwich and soup made from scratch make a good lunch. The coffee is excellent. They don't have fried food. Everything is fresh. Mighty fine eggs benedict! The tables outside make for excellent people-watching during warm months. No one ever accused the Blue Chair of being cheap. But one thing many people don't know is that they are affiliated with the Blue Monarch, a non-profit home for women in recovery. Great atmosphere and a great place to meet interesting people.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Easter at Sewanee

This house was a great fit for our extended family to share my son’s college campus which the grandparents. Great deck & screen porch, only 1 BR upstairs with 3 bedrooms, worked fine for our family. Master BR/bath was very comfortable, also used the basement BR and bath.Also easy proximity to Sewanee Equestrian center, goats & lacrosse field.

Sewanee Stay

This is a Lovely House, nicely decorated & very Comfortable w/ a nice back deck perfect for morning coffee. The Master Suite on the Main Level was Excellent! The 4 Bedrooms upstairs shared 1 Full Bath. The only issue we had was the mold/mildew smell in the Basement that prevented use of the Beds downstairs.

Perfect Spot for a wedding weekend stay

We had a group of people coming in from Nashville and around the country for a wedding at Sewanee. The house was perfect place to stay. The location was close and there was enough space for everyone to have their own areas to get ready for the events. The house was very clean & comfortable!

Easter Weekend on the Mountain

While we were there to visit our senior daughter at Sewanee, Easter was the perfect time for the whole family to get together. The house was fabulous for our crew... we were able to enjoy the beautiful back deck and surrounding woods. The house was clean and very convenient to campus. It was spacious as well and slept 7 with room to spare (the beds were very comfy!) The kitchen was very well equipped, but we only cooked dinner in one night. The owner, Tom, was very quick to respond to a couple of questions we had on arrival and was most helpful. I highly recommend this wonderful home and only wish we had discovered it freshman year!!

Great location

This house was perfect for our Sewanee getaway. The location was secluded with beautiful woods in the back and lots of birds. The walk to downtown Sewanee was less than two miles. Plenty of comfortable rooms for our group of four. The owner was very hospitable and easy to reach. Would definitely book again.
