Staying in Sewanee

Sewanee is small...and we are taking over! There are a handful of hotels and inns in Sewanee/Monteagle, but we highly recommend checking out Airbnb or VRBO. There are several great rental options on campus or close by. We have provided a list below of places we recommend, but please do not hesitate to reach out if you need any help or recommendations finding a place to stay! Note: We will have a shuttle service provided for day of activities. <a href="https://thesmokehouse.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Smokehouse Lodge and Cabins</a>The smokehouse is about a 7 minute drive to Sewanee. They have hotel rooms and cabins in the back for bigger groups! <a href="https://monteagleinn.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Monteagle Inn &amp; Retreat Center</a>Sit in a rocker on the front porch with a hot cup of coffee or glass of wine.
