Amazing Group Nature Stay!

We had an incredible time at the rising sun retreat. The accommodations were perfect for our large group. We especially loved the sauna and wraparound porch. The location is convenient to Sewanee and lots of nature and hiking. Thank you Brooke for a great trip!

Stunning, charming retreat

This place is absolutely incredible. I suspected it would be special, but the pictures don’t do it justice. The views are spectacular, the accommodations are cozy and comfortable, and the property is beautiful. The home is charming and thoughtfully put together—it certainly doesn’t feel like a rental (in the best ways!), but rather feels as if you’re visiting a really special family property. The host was very responsive and helpful, and we will definitely be back.
