Sewanee Graduation

Stayed here for my eldest’s graduation, and it was so convenient. The gated front covered porch was such a nice touch with the dogs just being able to relax and hang out. It was rainy or I would have loved the fire pit area. We used the field across from the cabin to play fetch and frisbee. Just right for us! Family came for lunch that day after commencement and it worked out great!
