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.

This beautiful mountain retreat is nestled in 8 acres of hardwood trees and mountain laurels sitting right on the bluff with gorgeous views. Located 8 minutes from the Sewanee Gates entering The University of the South and the St. Andrew's-Sewanee campuses, this is a great place for alumni and parents to stay when visiting the mountain. The drive to the house is less than 2 hours from Nashville, 1 hour from Chattanooga, 3 hours from Atlanta, and 2 1/2 hours from Birmingham.

* For people who are looking for a romantic getaway, Bairnwick Too makes it easy to unwind by the fireplace, on the screened-in porch, sitting on the front deck, or relaxing in the hammock. There are several restaurants and nature trails in the area.

* For music lovers, The Caverns Amphitheater venue in Pelham is just 25 minutes away.

* For families looking for a place to let the kids hike, bike, climb, cave, swim, and explore, the Sewanee-Monteagle Mountain and South Cumberland State Park are great destinations. The Perimeter Trail around Sewanee is fabulous for hikes and mountain biking. The Mountain Goat Trail is a paved "rails to trails" mixed-use walking, biking, and running trail connecting Sewanne-Monteagle-Tracy City. Fiery Gizzard, Foster Falls, and a wonderful zip line course are all within 30 minutes.

* For golfers, Sewanee has a wonderfully unique and challenging nine-hole/18-tee golf course with great views. Sweetens Cove (ranked by Golfweek as the 21st best course in the U.S. you can play) is just 45 minutes away.

The house blends in nicely with its natural surroundings and is well-appointed with hardwood and ceramic tile floors, floor-to-ceiling casement windows, and ceiling fans in every room. The living room has a wood-burning stone fireplace. The dining table seats 8 and the kitchen has everything you should need. High-speed fiber internet is available throughout the house. There is a high-definition 50-inch TV with Apple TV and a variety of streaming services including access to all the common cable and local channels along with DVDs and a stereo with connections for your audio devices. The master bedroom has a king bed, TV, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and heated tiled floors. The main bathroom has a tub and shower. The second bedroom has a double bed as well as a single bed suitable for a child. The third bedroom is located downstairs accessed by a spiral staircase and has a queen bed and two trundle beds. (The spiral staircase could be a challenge for older people or someone with mobility limitations.)

The deck overlooks the bluff. The screened-in porch features a porch swing, lounge chairs, ceiling fans, outdoor speakers, and a wrought-iron dining table for four. The driveway is lined with fruit trees and wildflowers abound. Deer, hawks, songbirds, and crickets will keep you company.

Bairnwick Too is named after my grandparents’ house, which is now the Bairnwick Women's Center at Sewanee. Bairnwick is Gaelic and means 'House of Children.' We seek to retain this spirit and Bairnwick Too is a wonderful place for families to gather. The house is located in Deep Woods, which is behind St. Andrews-Sewanee School and overlooks the same valley as seen from Green's View. The surrounding woods are fun to explore and there are plenty of trees to climb.

Please note that you must be over 25 years old to rent and you must be in attendance. Due to the bluff and 70-foot drop-off, parents will need to provide appropriate supervision of children at all times and the house may not be appropriate for families with small children. There is not a fence and everybody will need to exercise caution around the edge of the bluff.

WELCOME TO SIDEWAYS IN SEWANEE!

Sideways is a RUSTIC, but quaint little 3 bedroom, 2 bath house right smack in the middle of campus (the University of the South campus, that is). It's a 120+ year old gem of a cottage whose poor old bones just aren't as straight as they once were.

That said, as of March 2022, we added an ensuite bath where an old closet used to be and opened up the den to the kitchen dining area. We attempted as best we could to level her out, but that just proved beyond the scope. Back in April 2018, we also performed another little renovation, so if you've stayed here before or saw previous reviews about crazy bright paint colors, you'll be pleasantly surprised! It no longer looks like a box of crayons exploded inside. The renovation included fresh paint inside & out, a new tin roof, removal of the vinyl siding outside to go back to the original wood siding, updated light fixtures, a new deck, new operable windows with screens throughout, and a new sliding glass door and glass top front door that both help to let in a lot more natural light.

While a bit crooked it may be, it definitely won't let you down when it comes to offering you relaxation on a budget and a great location to reconnect with alumni and friends! It's located within walking distance to the local coffee shop (Stirling's) and the local bar (Shenanigan's, which added a 2nd story balcony in 2018), as well as countless hiking trails, golf course, tennis courts, lakes for fishing, and just about every University building.

It is NOT the Hilton. This is an OLD house that is used as a vacation home on available weekends by the owners and their families (all Sewanee grads) and looks more like a casual old vacation cabin than a fancy bed and breakfast, so please set your expectations accordingly. All beds are queens. It has a tub shower/combo and a walk-in shower, a Washer & Dryer and a great set of porches (one covered porch, one uncovered deck).

There is NO CABLE and the TV signals DO NOT REACH inside the house (we've tried rabbit ears, digital converter boxes, and fancy expensive solutions that don't work). There is a DVD Player, but you will not be able to watch live TV, so plan to watch any sports games from Shenanigan's, Blue Chair or the Sewanee Inn. There is WIFI in the house. However, our goal with the house is to get away from it all, especially screens, so hopefully that's what you like about Sewanee also.

Please EMAIL (don't call) for specific questions regarding renting. If we need to talk by phone, that's not a problem, but we will respond much faster by email. Pricing is an average of $315 per night with a 2-night minimum except during Commencement/Graduation each year. Due to the high demand, the rate for Commencement is $2500 flat rate for minimum 6 nights/7 days. We don't book more than 1 year out and all stays need to be affiliated with University “sponsored” events, which are wide-ranging. Send us a message if you’re unsure what that entails. If you’re there to enjoy the campus, visit a student, give patronage to Sewanee Village, or anything in between, then you’re all set to book with us.

WE REQUIRE A TWO-NIGHT MINIMUM STAY.

The property is located at 121 Palmetto Ave, Sewanee, TN 37375.

We look forward to letting you be a part of Sideways!

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.

- "We really enjoyed our stay, it was so much more than you see in the picture. The pond has great fishing. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch listening to all the birds and watching the squirrels play. It was so great of a home, we are wanting to rent The Cabin again in the future." - "peaceful, rustic cabin in the woods, surrounded by bird song. The Cabin on Muggs pond was the perfect place to unwind and relax from all the graduation festivities. In the morning we would gather on the porch for coffee and listen to the birds all around us. Evenings found us listening to music, cooking dinner, visiting on the porch or deck, and playing Scrabble in this cozy cabin that has all the amenities. We were sad to leave ."

The home was originally built by beloved professor emeritus Dr. Steven Shrader, known for founding the Sewanee Orchestra.
We’ve named our home “Back on Tennessee Cottage,” bringing to mind Alumni returning to the Domain, our Tennessee roots, and capturing the location just off University Avenue. Given this is our family’s second home, we ask that guests help preserve the like new condition and we insist on no smoking or pets.

The home features an elegant octagonal suite, originally Dr. Shrader’s music room, now converted into an optional 4th bedroom. This 3, or 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home (both full baths upstairs) is located directly across from the School of Theology and Quintard Hall on the corner of Tennessee and Mikell. The convenient location is walking distance to anything on campus or to shops and restaurants in the downtown Village.

Recent updates include fully remodeled bathrooms, added and refinished hardwood floors, and fresh paint throughout. Our home will comfortably sleep 8 guests. The kitchen is fully stocked and the floor plan is perfect for entertaining. Take your pick of two porches to enjoy nature or waive at students about their day. Our family friendly home offers a space for everyone’s enjoyment and we have carefully incorporated elements of the University into the décor.

With a location in the heart of campus, updates that provide modern comfort while preserving “Sewanee charm," we can’t wait to share our treasure with you.

Additional pricing on “special” weekends.

This home is only available during University sponsored or approved events.

- "The home was very nice and walking distance to the main part of campus and several hikes. The owner was very easy to get in touch with! Highly recommend!" - "Beautiful home! We stayed here for my sons wedding at All Saints. It was perfect!" - "We booked this property for our daughter’s on campus wedding, because of its great location/proximity to Sewanne campus and main level space. Everything was just as described and portrayed in the pictures. All the bridesmaids got ready on the main level the day of the wedding, and i was able to stay upstairs, out of the way :). It was just what we needed and clean and well maintained. Definitely will rent again if I need a place on campus."

This cozy, sunny loft is tucked away on the Cumberland Plateau in Sewanee, with the serene forest and hiking trails only yards away. A separate 2nd-floor entrance with key-code entry allows guests to come and go, and the kitchenette and laundry allow guests to stay comfortably for a week or more.
No pets are allowed inside the apartment for allergy reasons, but we have a covered 12x4 feet kennel that can accommodate dogs and cats.
For your safety and security, there is a video camera monitoring the parking lot.

- "We loved the trillium ranch and was perfect for what we needed this weekend! Very nice place. Just note the master shared a bathroom with one of the guest rooms and the bunk room has its own bathroom, rather than the conventional master having its own bath. There was also no soap in the bathroom. Other than that, the place was comfortable, stocked with needed items and a great location! So central to everything on campus" - "My husband and I had an ideal stay in your lovely, comfortable home! Thank you!"

- "Our family stayed here the closing weekend of the Sewanee Summer Music Festival. We had come the year before and stayed at the local inn. This time we brought our two teenaged sons with us. We loved Sewanee and wanted to share a bit of it's small town charm and magic with the rest of the family. Happily, we were there to see the ending concert series and pick up our college aged son. The property manager communication was great. There was an issue with the hvac and hour or two before we arrived. She let us know that it was being addressed and fixed. We never would have known. When we arrived tha ac was working famtastically. Upon entry the unit was immaculate inside. They even left little treats of local baked goods (sweet bread and cookies) as well as some waters. My teenaged sons devoured them. Such a sweet and thoughtful touch. I would definitley stay again."

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.

- "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." - "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!!"

Come enjoy a cozy getaway in Sewanee!

The space:
You will be renting the entire home, two bedrooms, 1 bathroom. Full kitchen and access to a full size washer and dryer included. There is only one bathroom and this is a smaller home, so we don't recommend more than four guests, however on a case-by-case basis we can provide an air mattress to accommodate two additional guests - this makes the living room quite crowded though. Please message before booking to see if this is an option.

PETS: The space is dog friendly (other pets allowed on a case-by-case basis). Three dogs is the maximum, and it is strongly recommended that they be supervised when outside and crated if left alone inside. We encourage closing the driveway gate closed when your dog/s are outside (our neighbors have dogs that roam). We provide one large dog crate. All dogs must be up to date on their rabies vaccine, toe nails clipped and recently groomed and on flea/tick prevention. There is no dog fee, however we do ask that you let us know in advance. Please pick up after them in the yard, and while we prefer they stay off the furniture, we do provide blankets for that purpose.

We have two horses, two dogs, three cats, and occasionally foster puppies/dogs. These animals generally stay on our side of the fence. The fenced in yard surrounding the home is your space to use. All gates, except the driveway gate must remain closed at all times. Do not feed our animals or try to pet them without our supervision.
If you would like to spend time with our animals, let us know and we'll do our best to arrange a meeting.

This is rural TN, and there are woods all around. If doors or windows are left open you may find unplanned visitors such as bugs or a nosy cat. If animals distress you, we suggest booking elsewhere.

We live a few hundred feet from the space, and will be available if needed but will otherwise let you enjoy your time in Sewanee alone.

Same-day bookings are welcome, outside of normal sleeping hours we usually respond very quickly to requests.

We hope you enjoy your stay with us!

- "The space is well appointed, clean & comfy. It was just right for spending the night after seeing the Spoon gig at The Caverns." - "The place was perfect for our needs. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The house was well-stocked with lots of thoughtful extras. The location was convenient and so peaceful." - "We planned this one night stay with less than 24 hour notice! Emily was so accompanying for us to check in easily, communicated quickly and had great recommendations for the hiking trips we wanted to do! Our kiddos (6, 3 and 3) were so excited to see the horses and Emily and her husband were so friendly to let us pet them and feed them carrots. When we go back to the area in the summer, we would definitely stay back here again!"

- "Great location for a visit to Sewanee before our son starts school there in the fall. Hiking trails close-by & 1 mile from campus. Would definitely recommend." - "Perfect space for our crew to stay for the weekend. A 2 minute walk to the Perimiter Trail and a 4 minute drive to the heart of campus. Great room and dining space perfect for the 4 of us to visit." - "This is a great place to stay in Sewanee. Loved the location, close to the Cross."
