The Fireside apartment is located in a beautiful Sewanee subdivision close to the Equestrian Center. The apartment has a private entrance with a covered patio. The private bedroom and bathroom and can accommodate two people very comfortably. The unit has a microwave, small fridge, Keurig coffee maker, and sink.

No pets are allowed inside the apartment for allergy reasons, but we have a covered 12x4 feet kennel that can accommodate dogs and cats. Also for the safety of our guests, the gas fireplace is turned off. Note that we live in this house too and do have elementary-age children. We make every effort for quietness but sometimes you may hear the sounds of children and music.

For your safety and security, there is a video camera monitoring the parking lot.

Safe private suite in family home, close to campus

Looking for a close and safe place to stay for a quick campus visit, with ease of access to the stadium/Fowler? This is a quiet bedroom/bath/covered porch with table and chairs, mini fridge/sink/Keurig. There is a private entrance. It was a great place to stay for my son's sporting event. Hosts were lovely and very professional and responsive in all comms. Space is perfect for parents or for a parent whose child can also pop over if they want, if just one parent is staying, for a respite from the dorms. The covered porch is great in seasonable weather and you are in a nice and quiet Sewanee neighborhood very near to the Equestrian Center.

Comfy & Cozy

Perfect place on campus for our Sewanee Family Weekend. The space was very comfortable with nice touches such as Keurig coffee maker, and a nice attached screened in porch with a refrigerator, air fryer, and nice sink/bar and sitting area. We enjoyed our stay very much. So quiet and lovely!

Excellent choice

I stayed here while at a weekend getaway at Shakerag so I was only in the room to sleep It was perfectly comfortable, convenient location, well lit inside and out, good internet - everything I needed. The contact person was quick to respond to my questions. I’d definitely stay again.

Nice trails nearby

The space can be a little loud because it is attached to the house via 2 deperate locked doors. Nice location though. Very quiet neighborhood next to a beautiful university. Good hiking nearby.

Convenient!!

If you’re looking for a cozy location with quick accessibility to the Sewanee campus, this is a great option. The apartment was spotless and easy to access. The host was responsive and accommodating. We were able to Ed visit with our daughter who is a sophomore at Sewanee easily. It was the perfect 1-2 night place.

Sewanee Apartment

The accommodation consists of a bedroom and a bathroom with an attached porch with kitchen appliances. It was decorated nicely and I felt very comfortable. It is a little dark as there are no windows but the door has a glass panel for some light to get in. You can sit on the porch and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Fireside without the fire

It’s described as a fireside apartment. Fireplace did not work. Pictures do not show that the “kitchenette” is on a screen porch. So if the temperatures are below 50 it’s not very usable. Water at the sink was shut off so you couldn’t use the sink anyway. The kitchenette would be nice if staying in the spring or summer. It is in a lovely neighborhood. Felt very safe.

Great apartment in home

We had a small snafu with the date of arrival and entering the property when I arrived, but the owner was very apologetic and worked to make it right. The apartment is very well appointed and comfortable. Extremely clean. It is attached to the family home, so you hear comings and goings of kids, but that did not bother me in the least. The apartment is up two flights of stiars which should be included in the listing for those with any mobility issues. The owner kindly salted the stairs and even scraped my windshield on the icy mornings. I did not have specific check out directions, so I hope I left it okay! Would definitely return while at Sewanee.

All Good!

The room was well-appointed with a gas fireplace (that I did not use). There is a sink, coffee machine and toaster oven on a screened in porch that is the entryway to the room. This porch doesn't appear to be heated or cooled. It didn't matter to me because the weather was mild. I only used the coffee maker (Kcup). If you know the area, it's out by the Equestrian Center and great for morning walks in the woods along graveled roads. It's short drive to campus activities. It has a private bath with a shower, which is all I need. The bed was really comfortable as well. There are sounds of the family on the other side of the door, but it's non-intrusive. They seem to be great cooks, because dinner and breakfast smelled delicious. Thanks!

Great neighborhood. Nice, easy drive from campus to the house. Host was great to work with. Would stay again. One minor point to note is there is a good bit of noise from the host’s home which has adjacent wall/ceiling.

Overall good but could be better

My wife and daughter stayed here for a family gathering in Tracy City. The found the apartment clean, well stocked and nicely decorated. The downside for their visit was that apparently the owners have younger children who have a habit of running up and down stairs as well as slamming doors. They said that these slams were so strong that they vibrated the doors and windows in the apartment. Hopefully the owners will accept this as constructive criticism and try to manage those details, especially when renters are on site. Would be 5 stars if it was a bit more quiet.

Nice stay on the Domain

Great property and excellent location for Sewanee visit. Great hosts. Because the kitchenette is outside (covered porch area) I think it is more comfortable in warmer seasons. But everything else - bed, bathroom, etc. - was perfect for the traveling couple. Will come back...
