This place is special! It has everything you want for an individual retreat or a small family vacation! Location is perfect for Sewanee, Monteagle, half way between Nashville and Chattanooga.

This is my second year staying in this fabulous little cottage south of the Domain. An excellent option if you’re visiting the University of the South: stay there for a week or for more than a month as I did, choose it as your base from which to visit the campus or to celebrate the beginning or ending of an academic career.The environment is beautiful; peaceful & quiet. The cottage has everything you’ll need. I can’t say enough good things about this property.

Lovely Cottage

We enjoyed the cottage. It was perfect for two people. It was close to Sewanee making it easy to drive back and forth to campus. The host was very friendly and accommodating, even providing my husband with a book on goats when she learned he was interested in getting some.

Still the best

This is my 5th or 6th time staying in the cottage. Could not be more perfect for an individual or couple. Everything you need... especially the quiet!!! WIFI works great, all the kitchen supplies you need, a short drive to Sewanee, Monteagle, and great midway spot for day trips to Nashville or Chattanooga.

This is the perfect stay for anyone looking to spend time on the mountain or take day trips off the domain. It’s close to everything in Sewanee and Monteagle. Gracious host. Everything you need. Comfy bed. Great kitchen with all the necessary utensils. Very quiet! AC worked great for the hot summer. Really doesn’t get much better. Perfect place for a couple or family with small children.

A Gem near The Mountain

What a special place!! I stayed with just myself and my dog and it was exactly what we wanted. I needed to be near Sewanee for a writing program and this charming cottage nestled in a wooded area on a quiet road was conveniently located. The cottage itself is immaculate: very well maintained, perfectly set up & equipped with everything you’ll need. There’s a fenced in backyard and a spacious covered porch. The owner, who lives nearby, is responsive, helpful and kind. It was just perfect.

Quiet Fantasy

Loved being able to have my own space with my doggie. Sue was so kind to bring veggies from her garden. The place was so comfortable and clean. Air felt so nice. I would wake up in the morning, put on hot water, and sit outside in the fence staring at the trees swimming in greens within greens while Myles sauntered his puffy butt cheeks around sniffing and pooping. Then I’d go on campus and inhale the Gothic architecture and think and write. Immaculate vibes.

Why they chose this property

This property is conveniently located near the University of the South and the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly, but is located 4 miles from town in a quiet wooded setting with wildlife viewing opportunities.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is a spacious one bedroom, with provision for two additional guests on a fold out sofa. It has a bright, pleasant, fully equipped kitchen. While there is privacy, the many windows and patio provide opportunities for viewing birds and other wildlife - we regularly see foxes, hawks, songbirds, and once even a bobcat. The cottage is equipped with WiFi, and a TV for watching your own Netflix, Prime, or whatever.
