Perfect Mountain Cottage

The Bright House is perfect. It had everything I could possibly need, and all the touches of home. And that's just inside. I saw birds, rabbits and deer, just stepping out onto the back deck. For the Sewanee baseball fans, this cottage is exactly 1 mile from the baseball field.

Top marks for our college visit

Wife and I traveled with our high schooler to visit Sewanee for a weekend. Can't imagine a better place to stay. Cozy, clean and in close proximity to the campus. Tastefully decorated, well equipped, this place is a little gem. Highly recommend if you're visiting the area.

Great stay in Sewanee

David’s tiny house was just perfect for my stay on the mountain. My family unfortunately could not make the trip, but if they had, we would have had plenty of space for all four of us. The house has great amenities and is super comfortable, all very close to downtown Sewanee and central campus.

Perfect stay

My son and I stayed here for a Sewanee visit. It was perfect. It was a great location, very comfortable, well-stocked, and incredibly clean. If you like birds, the back deck was a wonderful place to observe - 20+ varieties in the first 10 minutes of having my morning coffee. Highly recommend.

Great property

Brighthouse was great. It fit our family of 4 perfectly. The house felt new and was in immaculate condition. The amenities were just right- new appliances, good for cooking dinners, quiet dishwasher, coffee brewing. The living area was a little small but the open plan worked for us and the outdoor dining area was a perfect size for us, we got lucky with beautiful weather.. The location on campus within a short walking distance to our son’s dorm Cleveland). We will definitely stay there again.

adorable well appointed house

This house is a perfect little bungalow for a mountain get away. It is walking distance to Sewanee's campus as well as restaurants like Blue Chair and Lunch. The construction is new so everything is very clean and pristine. The sofas and beds are comfortable. And, the layout is very cleaver... it feels much bigger than the square footage indicates. We would definitely rent there again. Our host was super nice and helpful as well.

Beautiful Bright House!

My daughter & I had a nice short weekend stay at The Bright House for Sewanee move-in. The house appears to be brand new…you can even smell the new wood! The location is super close to campus. House is very clean. Kitchen is outfitted with everything you could need including spices & oil! I enjoyed spending time on the secluded back porch. Communication with owner was perfect. I will definitely look at renting again when back in the area.
