It is also a fantastic place for family reunions. Visitors will enjoy the close proximity to campus as well as Chattanooga and Nashville.

The home is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The upstairs has 2 master suites, one with a king-size mattress, the other with a queen. There are 3 bedrooms and a game room area downstairs. The game room has a foosball table, video games, and movies for the kids.

The deck overlooks ornamental gardens which surround the house. There is a patio fireplace on the porch for cool nights as well as a large fire pit through the path in the woods. The whole family will enjoy roasting marshmallows by the campfire.

    • We stayed in Hummingbird House for Sewanee Family Weekend with 2 other families. The house is close to campus (about 3 miles)and is clean and comfortable with great porches. We had about 30 people over for a cookout one night. There is ample seating on the porches and in the house for large groups. Pretty landscaping. Casey and Anna are nice people and are very accommodating.

    • A+++This house is top notch...nice furniture, linens, good kitchen, quiet location, and a peaceful beautiful setting. We had a party for our daughter's birthday and this house easily accomodates a large group. The wrap around porch is so cozy and the hot tub was great. The fire pit was a special bonus for everyone. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time at the Hummingbird House and will be returning in May.
