Southern hospitality meets Gothic charm at The Sewanee Inn, a 43-room hotel near Sewanee Golf and Tennis Club, on the grounds of the University of the South in Tennessee. Casual yet elegant, the inn is a favorite among Sewanee alumni and academics who gather here for scratch-made cocktails and Southern comfort food, Appalachian hiking, golfing, business meetings, weddings, and special events.

The Smoke House Restaurant, Lodge & Cabins is right in the middle of the largest State Park in Tennessee, The South Cumberland State Park, with the largest collection of waterfalls, bluff vista overlooks, hiking trails, rock climbing walls, and outdoor adventures in the South.
