I must take a minute to thank the absolutely wonderful staff at the Sewanee Inn, they are amazing! They made our visit to the area delightful and the special touches I received celebrating my birthday made the experience unforgettable. Southern hospitality is no myth, they are the living proof.
Thanks,
Doug

My husband and I live in Chattanooga and we recently met family at The Sewanee Inn for dinner. Our extended family lives in Nashville, so we are always looking for places to meet up. Since Monteagle is located about halfway between Chattanooga and Nashville, it was that perfect spot! We did not stay at the inn, but everyone enjoyed the restaurant. The service was great and the menu had a lot of delicious options. We shared a cheese board that was the highlight of my meal! After dinner we walked around the grounds and enjoyed the beautiful evening. It was a lovely place to catch up with family without

When my wife and I could not find a room in Manchester TN we drove on to Monteagle. After reading a review about Sewanee Inn we decided to give it a try. This Inn is really elegant and worth the extra dollars. Beautiful rooms, friendly staff, great views and located in a really quaint setting. The restaurant was very good and so was the service. Not normally our stopping point but we may need to change our travel plans the next time through just to stop here.

Southern Hospitality at its finest. Best place to stay for hiking the south Cumberland, University of the South, & the Caverns. We were here 3 nights and it was great to explore the area with a back roads pilgrimage to Jack Daniels. Justin and John at the bar were very helpful and made sure we had what we needed. Rooms are clean and modern with cookies @ turn-down service. Would definitely stay again!

I have not stayed at the Sewanee Inn, but I did visit friends and have breakfast. The Inn is beautifully directed and located in walking distance of the main campus. Our waitress was very personable and patient especially when we had a large group with several members joining after the main orders were placed.
Regarding the food, there was an extensive selection of breakfast options literally something for everyone. I ordered the oatmeal which came in a nice sized bowl with a side of strawberries, and almonds to mix in. Everyone at our table was pleased with their meals. Next time I visit Sewanee

My husband and I have stayed here for the last several years to celebrate our anniversary. Each time we have found the accommodations to be lovely and the customer service to be unparalleled--seriously, I have never stayed anywhere that takes care of its guests as well as the Sewanee Inn does. Highly recommend!!!

We had a wonderful stay at the Sewanee Inn. The service was so friendly and inviting and helpful. Our room was perfect in every way (even down to the delicious cookies they left for us each evening). And we enjoyed the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner -- very good food in a nice atmosphere. One of our favorite (and unexpected) parts of our stay was the very nice sitting room next to the fire place. We loved this quiet, comfortable place to have a drink, chat, and enjoy the fireside. We'd definitely stay again!

I was back at Sewanee Inn this week for a 2 day work meeting so I got to stay at this lovely establishment. The rooms are large I was in a double and there was a desk and chair so it was easy to have a guest in the room and not feel like you had to sit on a bed.
The balcony had two comfy rocking chairs and a view of the golf course. I wish it had been a bit warmer so I could have enjoyed this more.
They have a lovely turn down service that has yummy homemade cookies and a handwritten note providing staff names for the evening and weather info for the next day.

Beautiful Inn! Rustic charm, delightful staff, and pure loveliness. It's the perfect romantic getaway. Great golf course too. Multiple fireplaces and excellent decor. Old world luxury, but fresh and new feeling. Books abound to read in the lobby in front of the main fireplace. They really landed what they were going for with sincerity. We plan on staying here once a year.

It's an ok resort. No bathtub... only a shower. Beds are comfy. Room is clean. Staff seems very friendly. It's quiet. I had a room with a patio facing the golf course. That was nice. Wasn't a fan of the restaurant. There's no "normal" food on the menu so not good for kids I suspect. And no food places deliver to the Inn either. Overall it's quiet and a good place for a small business retreat.

Shared a relaxing weekend getaway in middle January from Nashville "on the mountin" to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. Booked a few months in advance, I did mention that we were visiting in celebration. We were surprised to find a welcoming romantic treat in our room waiting for us. To me, the little things matter.
Driving through the Sewanee fog, we arrived at the inn. The decor is warm and thoughtful. Plush chairs in the salon and heavy leather seating profile the double-open fireplace as the focal point of the lobby. The staff welcomed us swiftly with smiles.

What a wonderful surprise! We needed a place to stay midway on a drive between Chicago and Clearwater. As always, Yelp and Trip Advisor have served me well. This beautiful inn is nestled in the lush forests north of Chattanooga. The grounds are lovely, and the decor of the inn itself is so classy and rich.The staff is very attentive, and the rate per night is quite reasonable considering the accommodations...a true gem!

Wonderful! I reserved over 30 rooms for our daughter's wedding. We were there for the better part of a week, with our guests using every imaginable configuration of room, from small to two-room hospitality suites.
The old inn needed demolishing apparently, and they did just that. The inn is mansion-like, with cathedral ceilings in the lobby, upscale reception table (not a counter), 24/7 coffee or water/lemonade available, public sitting room, business center (one PC), and lots of staff. Right on the golf course. Solid construction - dead quiet.
