Charming 120 Year Old Sewanee Home on Campus- Walk Everywhere!

Sewanee, Tennessee, United States

WELCOME TO SIDEWAYS IN SEWANEE!brbrSideways is a RUSTIC, but quaint little 3 bedroom, 2 bath house right smack in the middle of campus (the University of the South campus, that is). It's a 120+ year old gem of a cottage whose poor old bones just aren't as straight as they once were. brbrThat said, as of March 2022, we added an ensuite bath where an old closet used to be and opened up the den to the kitchen dining area. We attempted as best we could to level her out, but that just proved beyond the scope. Back in April 2018, we also performed another little renovation, so if you've stayed here before or saw previous reviews about crazy bright paint colors, you'll be pleasantly surprised! It no longer looks like a box of crayons exploded inside. The renovation included fresh paint inside & out, a new tin roof, removal of the vinyl siding outside to go back to the original wood siding, updated light fixtures, a new deck, new operable windows with screens throughout, and a new sliding glass door and glass top front door that both help to let in a lot more natural light.brbrWhile a bit crooked it may be, it definitely won't let you down when it comes to offering you relaxation on a budget and a great location to reconnect with alumni and friends! It's located within walking distance to the local coffee shop (Stirling's) and the local bar (Shenanigan's, which added a 2nd story balcony in 2018), as well as countless hiking trails, golf course, tennis courts, lakes for fishing, and just about every University building. brbrIt is NOT the Hilton. This is an OLD house that is used as a vacation home on available weekends by the owners and their families (all Sewanee grads) and looks more like a casual old vacation cabin than a fancy bed and breakfast, so please set your expectations accordingly. All beds are queens. It has a tub shower/combo and a walk-in shower, a Washer & Dryer and a great set of porches (one covered porch, one uncovered deck). brbrThere is NO CABLE and the TV signals DO NOT REACH inside the house (we've tried rabbit ears, digital converter boxes, and fancy expensive solutions that don't work). There is a DVD Player, but you will not be able to watch live TV, so plan to watch any sports games from Shenanigan's, Blue Chair or the Sewanee Inn. There is WIFI in the house. However, our goal with the house is to get away from it all, especially screens, so hopefully that's what you like about Sewanee also.brbrPlease EMAIL (don't call) for specific questions regarding renting. If we need to talk by phone, that's not a problem, but we will respond much faster by email. Pricing is an average of $300 per night with a 2-night minimum except during Commencement/Graduation each year. Due to the high demand, the rate for Commencement is $2500 flat rate for minimum 6 nights/7 days. We don't book more than 1 year out and all stays need to be affiliated with University “sponsored” events, which are wide-ranging. Send us a message if you’re unsure what that entails. If you’re there to enjoy the campus, visit a student, give patronage to Sewanee Village, or anything in between, then you’re all set to book with us.brbrWE REQUIRE A TWO-NIGHT MINIMUM STAY.brbrThe property is located at 121 Palmetto Ave, Sewanee, TN 37375.brbrClick on the Virtual Tour link below for more photos of the home.brbrWe look forward to letting you be a part of Sideways!brbrKeywords: House, Sewanee, Sideways, Cottage

There are 2 bedrooms and bathrooms in this area. Both of the bathrooms have a tub/shower.brbrFIRST TIME STAYING IN A SHIPPING CONTAINER HOME You're not alone! We get tons of questions - Many asking, Is this a 'normal' home - The answer is, yes! The outside looks extremely unique, but we imagine that once you're inside, you'll forget you're in a shipping container because of the comfortable design and luxe touches added throughout the home. Split units keep our home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Please note, all of the bedrooms are single containers and therefore, are narrow. The photos show this as the containers are the width of queen/king size beds. Additionally, this is still a cabin in the woods! It is an upscale cabin, yet imperfect. If you are looking for hotel quality perfection, please consider booking elsewhere. brbrPET AMENITIESbr1. Fenced in area for the pups! br2. Paw Wiping Towelsbr3. 'Poo Bags'br4. Dog Waste Trash Cans brbrPet Fee: $125 for first pet, $75 dollars per additional pets. Please add your pet to the listing prior to booking. We ask for $125 for the convenience of having your fur baby on vacation and for the extra clean up of waste and fur. No breed restrictions, maximum of 4 pets. Rovers in our area are 30-40 dollars per night if you prefer to have a pet free vacation!brbrCRITTERS: We have regular pest control for a variety of critters & regularly treat for snakes. However, you might see them anyway as we are on 5 acres of wooded forest. We do our best to prevent it, but sometimes bugs find their way inside. If this will ruin your stay, you might consider booking elsewhere.brbrWINTER BOOKINGS: brPlease note, there are several outdoor spaces including the theatre shed and boathouse that will be the temperature of the outdoors. Therefore, if not using these spaces during a cold winter stay would ruin your time here, please consider booking elsewhere. Additionally, in Tennessee, pipes are traditionally under the home not fully protected from the elements and this is true with our as well. If temperatures are consistently below freezing during your trip, we will ask that you drip the faucets to prevent freezing pipes. This will likely only apply to select December, January and February bookings. It typically occurs once per year in Tennessee. While it is unlikely, it's possible. Please do not book if you are not willing and able to assist! brbrCANCELLATIONS: We will not provide any refunds for weather unless there is a government issued evacuation. Please protect yourself by purchasing travel insurance. We will occasionally experience winter weather and snow. While we are not in a true mountainous area, there are steep hills in parts of our neighborhood. Please plan ahead, check the weather and use a 4 wheel drive vehicle when necessary. brbrWhen booking our home using certain sites that use a payment processor, we incur fees that cannot be recouped if you cancel. We will not refund any booking site or credit card processing fees. Please ensure that all members of your party have fully confirmed these dates prior to booking. Holding our home 'just in case' hurts us as small business owners and home owners as this blocks our calendar, making it harder to rebook those days. brbrChattanooga Airport: 50 minbrNashville Airport: 1 hour, 15 minbrHuntsville Airport: 1 hour 20 minbrCaverns: 23 MinbrbrGetting to the home: All roads to the home are paved and easy to navigate!

Easy access to the Wiggins Creek Trail which connects to the Perimeter Trail and trails to local waterfalls. Trails' Rest welcomes guests visiting Sewanee for University sponsored and approved events. brbrSewanee 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.br brAnother 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.brbrThe 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.brbrThe 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.brbrThere 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.brbrThe 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.br
