Sewanee is a small town in south-central Tennessee. It is known primarily for its natural scenery and association with the University of the South. There are roughly 2,500 residents, of whom about 1,500 are students at the University. Sewanee is positioned about halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga. The town and the roughly 13,000 acres surrounding it -- all of which are owned directly by the University -- are quaintly called The Domain by residents.

Another one of the prettiest college campuses in US, the massive 13,000-acre campus of Sewanee mainly features Collegiate Gothic architecture, the highlight of which is the All Saints' Chapel.

The other major attraction in Sewanee is the natural landscape. Due to its location on the Cumberland Plateau, there are many scenic vistas overlooking nearby valleys. Some are accessible by car (such as University View on Tennessee Ave., and Green's View on Green's View Rd.), but most are accessible only by foot or mountain bike. University View and its large Memorial Cross are worth a drive down Tennessee Ave. for any visitor. There are also a number of unusual rock formations and other natural oddities in the area, which are outlined in local hiking guides.

The University hosts the Sewanee Writers' Conference each summer. The Sewanee Summer Music Festival is an annual, month-long music camp for young orchestral musicians under the tutelage of accomplished teachers and conductors.

There are more good restaurants nearby than one might expect. Of particular interest is Shenanigans, located in an old building at the intersection of Highway 41 and University Ave. A student favorite and generally good source of refreshments, it is in a building that has a noticeable lean due to its old age. Almost all restaurants are located within walking distance of the University/Hwy 41 intersection.

The Blue Chair, 41 University Ave...What started out as an eclectic and quaint coffee shop and bakery has become a local breakfast and lunch hotspot. The Blue Chair bakes muffins and cookies from scratch every day. The chicken salad sandwich and soup made from scratch make a good lunch. The coffee is excellent. They don't have fried food. Everything is fresh. Mighty fine eggs benedict! The tables outside make for excellent people-watching during warm months. No one ever accused the Blue Chair of being cheap. But one thing many people don't know is that they are affiliated with the Blue Monarch, a non-profit home for women in recovery. Great atmosphere and a great place to meet interesting people.

    The house was spotless, beautiful, and surrounded by nature. It was so quiet and peaceful, the perfect place to relax. Communication with the owner was excellent and made everything easy. The home itself was spacious and comfortable—just a great house all around. We all loved our stay, had a wonderful time, and can’t wait to come back!

    This house was a great fit for our extended family to share my son’s college campus which the grandparents. Great deck & screen porch, only 1 BR upstairs with 3 bedrooms, worked fine for our family. Master BR/bath was very comfortable, also used the basement BR and bath.Also easy proximity to Sewanee Equestrian center, goats & lacrosse field.

    This is a Lovely House, nicely decorated & very Comfortable w/ a nice back deck perfect for morning coffee. The Master Suite on the Main Level was Excellent! The 4 Bedrooms upstairs shared 1 Full Bath. The only issue we had was the mold/mildew smell in the Basement that prevented use of the Beds downstairs.
